Rasheed Wallace who pushed the Detroit Pistons to championship level is coming back.

He is reprted to have agreed to a 5 year deal worth 57 million dollars.

'The league source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, expected Wallace to sign the deal on Thursday. Wallace is to meet with reporters at a news conference Friday morning at The Palace of Auburn Hills.'

'Wallace, who made $17 million last season, was acquired in a three-team deal Feb. 19 to put the Pistons over the top. And he did.'

'Wallace's statistics were not always impressive -- he averaged 13 points, 7.8 rebounds and two blocks in the playoffs -- but his impact almost always was.'

The 6-foot-11, 230-pounder made a stingy defense one of the best in league history and an average offense better.
