This has gone beyond the obvious with you and you know the league better than this. It is much easier to deal one contract attached to a player that can play than some combo of contracts that require additional roster spots and likely involve sucky players. If you asked 100 people that follow the NBA who they would rather have 99 would say Lee at 15 mil over Wallace at 10 mil and you know who the 1 is pretty well.
For the 3rd time, name one trade.
Name one I just told you there are 35 trades that you could not make with a one to one swap of Gerald Wallace that you can with Lee, essentially everyone that makes over 15 mil a season.
And I replied that all of those contracts could already have been matched just by throwing in another expiring. There's really no value add there. Wallace's contract has a much wider range of deals that it can be used in than Lee's does. It's really not until you get to Melo *and* Calderon, or Cousins *and* Gay where Lee's deal starts to help (and really not even then).
