He has no place in the league anymore. When defensive players cant defend any longer, they become Ben Wallace.

I know this is not related but Ben Wallace is the most overrated defender of all time.

The whole defensive scheme in Detroit was so terrific that it would just funnel blocks too him. Given he is a talented shot blocker, he's not DPOY caliber at all.....

/rant
Overrated?
A guy who has
4 DPOYs
4 All star selections
5 All NBA selections
6 All Defensive selections
and 1 championship

He is one of the most accomplished Centers in the game, DESPITE his height.  He was a huge part of the defensive scheme in Detroit.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale
