Also from Mike Cranston..
Gerald Wallace calls trade from #Bobcats a "stab in the back" and "slap in the face"

Gerald Wallace: "To feel like you're not wanted anymore or you're not good enough for the franchise anymore it's a slap in the face."

mikecranston1 GW on Bobcats: "Thought I was going to retire here. I thought that when I stopped wearing a Bobcats uniform I'd be done with basketball. "

We can't lose this game.

If we win, we increase our playoff odds.

If we lose, we help the the Blazers stay in front of the Hornets!!

It's a win win!

I can't believe Wallace did Higgins like that....

I'm as big a Wallace fan as any, but all this whining and draggint his out is getting really annoying. He just cannot move on and he needs to. Enough of the talk Gerald. I mean it's to the point now where he's making me start to resent him...stop with all the talk and just play basketball for the team your on now. It didn't work out how you wanted, sorry, but it's time to move on.

Me thinks Wallace explodes for 20-12, 1 block, 1 steal. HE MAD....like, Brewer just sat there on my ankle mad.

Pretty much.

The guy makes almost $10m a year to play sports. NBA teams are businesses. They acquire assets, develop assets, and sell assets. We acquired Gerald for nothing, developed him into a great player, and sold him for profit.

All he had to do was report to his new team, remain professional, and earn his paycheck. Joel started playing for Portland in 2004, our inaugural season. You don't see Joel talking about how the Trailblazers "stabbed him in the back" or "slapped him in the face". He wasn't very thrilled about coming here at first but he gave it a chance and embraced the opportunity.

Wallace should stop complaining before it makes him look bad, but I can't disagree with his notions on Higgins. Higgins has virtually NO history of successful NBA transactions ever. He might as well not even be there, i think he just puts dumb ideas in MJ's head. Was Higgins the guy who would always trade the Warriors top players away for nothing? Remember they had Chris Webber, Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, Gilbert Arenas (the good version) etc. Was he part of those?

I think the Bobcats win and I agree with a monster game by Hendo...Hendo will show up Wallace in this one.

No, he wasn't.

He was an assistant coach with the Warriors until 2000, joined the Wizards as assistant GM, later became GSW GM in 2004, and became our GM in 2007.

And the bobcats want to honor this guy? Give me a break. Who does he think he is? He thinks too highly of himself.

Guess you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. Shame on you people that said Wallace was 29 and getting old fast. He is only 28 years old. Hell, he's actually younger than Dwyane Wade.
