IN THE WHOLE WILD WORLD.
First of all he traded pau gasol for nothing but I understand why he did it because ownership wanted to cut cost.
but this Love for Mayo trade was DUMB, PURELY DUMB. The Gasol trade was understandable from a financial view point, but this deal is the dumbest EVER.
the Mayo for Love is even right now as far as I am concerned since none of them played in the NBA yet.
BUT
so you trade J-Collins who has one year left on his contract, Brian Cardinal who has 2 years left, and a stud SG in Mike Miller for
Antoine Walker who has a TO (after this season) and you might buy him out (so you can't even utlize the TO), AND THE HORRIBLE CONTRACTS of Greg Buckner AND Marko Jaric.
WOW, he just made Kevin McHale look like a GENIUS.
BEFORE THIS TRADE, the projected payroll of MEM (saw it at Hoopshype) was at about 25-26 mil, and NOW that just catapulted to atleast 32-34 mil.
It's amazing that Chris Wallace can pull of one dumb move after another, FIRST Billups, then Joe Johnson and now this, even though the Gasol trade was LOPSIDED I understand why he did, he was forced by ownership to cut cost and have a cheaper payroll for the future.
BUT THIS IS JUST DUMB.
CELTIC FANS SHOULD BE THANKFUL, he didn't trade Paul Pierce away idiotically after DRAFTING HIM in 1998, cause if that had occurred, who knows maybe LAL does have a title but I moved on from that and looking forward to next season.
but man is CHRIS WALLACE stupid or what.

I really think the trade is really bad for both sides. It doesn't make sense for either sides, and both teams were really dumb in doing that deal. I've heard a lot of 'Wolves fans complain about that trade, not as many Grizzlie fans, but different division.

How is it bad for Minny? They add Mike Miller along with Love. Only Wallace would think Mayo was worth Miller AND Love. Memphis now has Mayo, Lowry, Crittenton, and Conley. WTH is Wallace thinking?

I agree with ATL, I don't think it's bad for MIN, they can easily dump Cardinal, and dump Miller anytime and get a big name FA after 2009/2010.
Chris Wallace proved to be a PURE MORON, thank god for Celtic fans he drafted PP and not traded him, or they might not have a title right now with Joe Johnson as their starter who they had at the time.
