Wilson Chandler/Gerald Wallace are kind of the same thing (obviously Wallace is that potential realized). Are you really willing to take on his long term bucks when you got someoen who's a good shot to replicate that kind of player?
That's a good point. D'Antoni thinks of Chandler as a 4 who can play the 3, and Wallace is more of 3 who can play 4. I think they can play together. Neither one needs the ball, but both do good things with the ball when they have it. Getting Wallace would upgrade our d. But the salary is an important consideration. He does earn that kind of money - it's not star money, but good starter money which Wallace is. But if we are going to take a contract like that, then we need to lose a similar or greater contract in the trade.
