I feel it was used as a smoke screen to help ferry and today it still takes attention away from what ferry did.
Wells was well known for being a jerk who mouthed off to just about anybody,including his own coach.day, Wells was suspended two games and stripped of his co-captain title by the Blazers after using profane language to berate coach Maurice Cheeks on the sideline a night earlier in a road loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
It was at least the fourth time Wells had berated Cheeks in front of the team during the coach’s two-plus seasons and the punishment was the harshest handed out by the team because of “the repeat nature of the offense,” according to a story by Jason Quick in The Oregonian.

2003--He was been fined/suspended no fewer than five times over a two
years time span. In an attempt to reach out, Cheeks named Wells
team tri-captain to start the season. Bonzi responded by giving Portland fans the finger
after the third game (in Philly. The said he didn’t remember doing it, he must have blacked out, then winked at the camera.) and cussing out his coach in the middle of a game after the 10th game. Cheeks, saying he is "sick of it," slapped Wells with a two-game suspension.

History suggests that Wells was VERY aggressive towards other players, coaches, refs, journalists and just about every person he came in contact with
Obviously, none of this is true, and he's just a great guy who's been held down by evil white people like Danny Ferry...
