Check Wiretap:

His contract expires the same time as Rasho, and Rasho and Juan would likely get it done.

If Seattle includes their 2nd rounder would you do it? He's a true SF who can do multiple things. He also has a relationship with Sam and has played with KG so knows how to defer to a big.

He's a money 13/3.5/2 with 1.5 3PTM a game and does get to the foul line about 2 times a game.

I swear the raptors have kapono...

No way we would want Wally. His contract is big and he doesn't add anything that we don't currently have. Now, unless Seattle is packaging him with Delonte and Jeff Green or something, I can't see the Raps even considering. Outside of Rasho we don't have any big contracts, and even moving Rasho for him wouldn't make sense, given that Rasho makes around 4-5 million less.

Yeah and hes guarntees 13 million nexy year yahoo.

I mentioned him in a few trade ideas and no one really liked them all that much. I'd have some interest if Kapono and Garbo were involved in the deal, but even my interest isn't that high. Would be nice to have some significant money to spend in free agency that year though

Wally would not be an upgrade at 3. I would rather platoon it between Moon/Kapono

Must we ask about every single player rumoured to be available???
What he provides is not what the raptors need most.

Hell no. Keep wally-world away from here.

Besides....we already have Kapono.

I guess a lot of you have short memories even if he was a candidate; when he was in Minnesota he said very derogatory things about the prospect of playing in Canada.

No thx anyways.

Somebody else said it, but Wally at this stage isn't that much different than Kapono. Except Wally is overpaid and hasn't been healthy in years.

Really I don't remember that at all. Do you have a link? Minny vs. Toronto as a world class city hmmmmm.

But for the record, Kapono is no Wally, never has been, never will be. Wally was a top teir player, but had trouble staying healthy recently.

Even this season, in limited playing time he's performing well

And is one of the only players on the Sonics, that plays meaningful minutes, with a positive on eFG Allowed, and a positive when on the court.

The kid was a terror in Miami Ohio too, man that was a great NCAA tourney he had.

Wally Szczerbiak is the biggest prick in the NBA. That year he played on the US Olympic squad, everyone wanted to beat his ass.

i just puked in my mouth

DP: What's a uniform you couldn't see yourself wearing in the NBA?
WS: Maybe Toronto, just because it's in Canada. I just couldn't see myself playing in a Canadian country and having to deal with all those tax laws ... plus the customs every night going on and off the playing court. That would become a big hassle.

Ya I hate all the other Canadian countries too...what a douche...another general studies major at Miami of Ohio...

Was this a serious post, because I laughed a little when I read it.... Then got sick at the thought of it happening

Wally would work out better for us than Kapono, I think. Kapono's a better three point shooter, but since we're not working hard to get him shots, we might as well bring in the more athletic / slightly better rebounder... certainly helps that his contract runs a year shorter too. Kapono + Wally on same team makes no sense though

If Colangelo trades for Wally, I'll suspect BC's been hanging out with Steve Kerr, drinking mojitos in the desert sun for too long.
