Even worse the Nets start him with Evans. I cant imagine how there big 3 survive on O playing 3 on 5. I guess they get more shots but still. Put 2 shooters or 2 solid offensive guys on the floor and I bet the big 3's efficiency goes up

[quote]The good news? If the Nets didn't trade for Wallace, they wouldn't have been able to pay Deron Williams $98 million for the five years after his prime, and they wouldn't have been able to lock down Wallace at $40 million right after his career careered off a cliff.

That's not a slump, that's NBA menopause. We've seen it happen with too many athletic NBA forwards over the years — once they lose it, it never comes back. Repeat: NBA menopause. It's a real thing. Anyone know how to swear in Russian?
Don't forget Johnson and his bargain of a contract.
