Kestutis,

Here here!  I second that emotion. Where do I sign the memo to Team Wallace?

I think if the C's were to offer him a partially guaranteed deal with weight clause incentives (of course), the guy could still be motivated enough to come onboard and provide 10-15 minutes of decent backup minutes. He also would provide some shot blocking if he ever got the weight back down in the low 300 lb. range. 

Not to mention 6 fouls to use on Shaq in The Finals next June. ;-)
