The problem is, once he proves himself we can't get him - or it will cost us a lot. Why not get him cheap and let him grow? Look at the players he is surrounded by, he is playing against the creme de la creme of the league in practice everyday. The kid has to be learning something from all these guys. The reason he gets no burn is because the roster is just too deep. He could be worth a gamble depending on the price.
From what I have seen with him, he hasn't really showed me any flashes of being a star in the league. Miles on the other hand showed his potential in Cleveland and in Los Angeles. I was one of the few people here that wanted to trade Frankie for Miles. Plus, why waste some of our MLE on Gerald when we can go after Stromile or Crawford. I'm not saying Wallace sucks or anything, but I think we should not waste money on him when there is more talent out there. I mean look at the guy's FT %. How is he going to be good in the league if he can barely shoot 50% from the line? The only thing Gerald has shown me is he can dunk. Other than that, I don't see any signs of this kid being a good player.
