I'm not sure if you guys have rules on posting trade ideas, so I'm sorry if I am violating any. I also realize that you guys are defending champs and probably aren't looking to make any trades. Thought I'd give it a try anyway...
That being said, there are two rules in trading Ben Wallace. Rule 1: A team will only take him if they are also getting Luol Deng or 2.) They will (maybe) take him if they are a contender. Rule two is met in this trade, I think.
Spurs Trade:
Brent Barry
Frabrico Oberto
Michael Finley
Francisco Elson
Jacque Vaughn
2008 1st
Spurs Receive
Ben Wallace
Juan Carlos-Navarro
Hakim Warrick
Adrian Griffin
Why for San Antonio?

Here's a revised version.
Spurs Trade: Bonner, Barry, Oberto, Elson, Vaughn, 08 1st
Spurs Receive: Wallace, J.Curry, Warrick
Grizzlies Trade: Gasol, Navarro, and Warrick
Grizzlies Receive: Bonner, Noah, Sefolosha, Barry, Vaughn, 08 1st (Chi), 08 1st (SAS), 2010 1st (Chi)
Bulls Trade: Noah, Sefolosha, Wallace, Curry, 2 firsts
Bulls Receive: Gasol, Navarro, Oberto
With Horry returning back into form and getting ready for the playoffs its likely that Bonner's minutes will get reduced anyways. Barry is a rotation player, but he's not vital. You basically keep Finley and lose Navarro, but gain Curry who has looked promising. I think it's a pretty sweet deal for the Spurs.
Grizzlies lose a little capspace by having to keep Bonner, but he's not too expensive and will be tradeable soon. One poster argued that they were getting perhaps too much anyway.

It's not realistic. I mean if this was January 2007, it's possible the Spurs be interested in something like that.
We're coming off a championship. The team isn't exactly struggling because when healthy, we've shown that we're still the best. Plus guys like Finley signed less money here and is probably playing his last year and wanted to go out as a champion and for us to trade him and give away any hope of his of winning a title is just... i don't know what the word is.
If this was like a Fantasy league where character and everything else isn't important, then yeah i'd be all for it.
Ben Wallace would look great with Tim Duncan. We lost Oberto and Elson but we still go 2 deep at each position with Ben, Duncan, Bonner, and Horry.
Losing Finley and Barry hurts but if this was fantasy, i'd want Manu to play 34 minutes and the remaining minutes at PG and SG can all be given to Navarro.
Udoka and Bowen splits the SF position.
It's a deal that would make sense if we didn't win the championship and are struggling heavily for the season.
