A close friend of Rasheed Wallace has reportedly told SLAM that the forward will retire if he doesn't get $8 million to play next season.

Wallace, who will be an unrestricted free agent, is unlikely to make that much after averaging 12 points and 7.4 rebounds for the Pistons this season.

He'll be 35 when the 2009-10 season begins, and earned nearly $14 million from Detroit this year.
