Built Ford Tough Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 The Charlotte Bobcats have discussed a trade to send forward Gerald Wallace(notes) to the Cleveland Cavaliers, a league source told Yahoo! Sports. The Cavaliers would use their trade exception to acquire Wallace, but have also pushed for a lottery-protected first-round pick for them to take on the two years and $22 million left on Wallace’s contract through the 2012-13 season, the source said. The Bobcats would receive a $10 million trade exception in return. No deal is imminent, and the Cavaliers have until July 10 to use the $14.5 million trade exception created from the sign-and-trade with the Miami Heat for LeBron James. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=ApiD7G9HwXFCz18lNvyVFgq8vLYF?slug=aw-wallacebobcats011411 Seems kind of a steep price to move Wallace. I don't see why Charlotte would give up a first round pick to move Wallace considering his talent level and the fact that his contract, while maybe a tad bit overpaid, is hardly a burden considering it is only for two more years.

Check my Stats Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Gerald Wallace was an NBA all-star last year. If they are willing to trade him even for FREE, a team like Cleveland or Toronto should be jumping at that (or any team with exp or a TPE), there is absolutely no reason for Charlotte to add a pick.

kingfish Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I would go CRAZY if the Lakers got him. Wallace is such a beast, he needs to play for a contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 How dumb would Jordan be to trade Gerald Wallace?! I don't see any players of the Cavs that could help the Bobcats as Wallace did for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 How dumb would Jordan be to trade Gerald Wallace?! I don't see any players of the Cavs that could help the Bobcats as Wallace did for them It looks like he wants to rebuild or make room to sign a few players of his choosing. So why not dump the contract if you don't feel this team is going in the right direction. I understand what you mean, you'd think they could get more trading to him to a contender maybe.

Makaveli Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Would be a really dumb move by the Bobcats if this goes through. Wallace is their 2nd best player on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Blasco Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I would go CRAZY if the Lakers got him. Wallace is such a beast, he needs to play for a contender. He can't shoot, he has no court vision, and he succeeds at basketball by endangering his life on reckless crashes at the basket. He'd be a pretty useful sixth man though.

Nestle Snipes Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I'd be so pissed if we give our best player away and a draft pick for a TPE, Plus I wouldn't wish Cleveland on anybody esp.my favorite player.
