get him in a $$$ deal

Wallace would be a good player but he one of many, sub-stars and very expensive.

he makes $10mm a year. He's going to give you 20/8 and block shots and play some defense. Thats expensive? Cats were looking to move him in a money deal earlier this year.

Is there something not to like?

If the organization is focus on 2010 then it would expensive to their plans for a player that isn't what they view as a star caliber player. We killed Isiah for years for not sticking with a plan. Walsh wants to concentrate on 2010. I am not saying this is the right decision but it is his plan.

Demar Derozen is making a late push in the year to jump back into the lottery. There is no doubt about it. He still cant shoot right now--but the kid can score slash and rebound like wallace.

Do you guys know that Gerlad wallace was pretty much a very poor college player who only played on eyar at Alabama but was taken 25th by scaremento because of his freak athelsticm

Yes, we do. That's why he's a good story.

He wouldn't be a star on this team.

so now u see upside in this kid when u've been ragging on me for wanting to draft this kid all year... typical.

With Nate and Al jacking up shots, I don't think Gerald would be a star on this team as others have said.

However, with the right players around him (and the right PG), I certainly think Gerald could put up Marion-like (Marion during his Suns days) numbers in D'Antoni's system.

Maybe if we can get Curry playing at a decent level, we can use him to get Gerald next season. He has 2 less years than Gerald does so I'm sure there would be some interest. Hell, I'd even think about adding Chandler to Curry.

IMHO Wilson Chandler's really not that far off from him right now... per 48 they're pretty much identical except G Wallace averages a bit more in rebounds.

but what about danillo...the sf of the future? poor poor danillo...

In D'Antoni's system I think they are hoping Gallo becomes the PF of the future. Although that might not be very realistic if he doesn't put on the weight that is necessary.

not if they pay dlee...

That and Gerald is better defensively right now. I'd be happy if Wilson can reach Wallace's level though.

why would the cats trade gerald wallace? they're looking good. looks like larry stopped trashing felton and wallace and actually decided to let them play and he's done a solid job in charlotte this year - they look like the frontrunner for the 8th seed. can't believe how much they ripped phoenix off in that trade.
