Wallace and his attitude are not worth having....He is the poster boy for all that is wrong with the NBA...look at the Blazers a team that once personafied class with players like Terry Porter, Drexler, Buck Williams, further back with Walton and Dr. Jack....
...they had become the thugs of the league with Wallace, Rider, and the rest of the potheads....Wallace will never change, he`` always be a Technical foul waiting to happen..

Theo Ratliff is a minor player? He leads the NBA in blocks!

Portland Got the better deal.Wallace is so overrated and a bad influence on the rest of the team. All he wanted to do is shoot 3's. There are alot of players you can get to do that in this league for less then $17 million a year.He won't get half that next contract. Don't let the door hit you in the ASS on the way out.
On the surface this looks like a great move by Portland to rid the franchise of another bad apple. But in the long run this deal works out perfectly for the Hawks. They get dump Person and Wallace at the end of the season and free up enough salary cap room to fill the pockets of Kobe Bryant or any other premier free agent.
Blazers coach Mo Cheeks, one of the classiest guys in the NBA can only hope that since Randy Ayers got the axe in Philly he has a shot at returning home where he would be a fan favorite. At least he doesn't have to look at Wallace's mug for the next two months.

No brainer. Atlanta got the better end of it by far. Portland acquiring overweighted contracts that don't expire at years end and Atlanta got rid of the mediocrity and at least have a chance to go after better players. They may or may not be able to but now they at least have a chance to do so.
