Dude was a one-man wrecking crew. Oh, and that facial he put on Oden was naaa-aaaasty! Had to be there to appreciate it. ;)

Yeah, all said here earlier: age; free throws; Brandon trying to shrug off his poor performance by going one-on-onesville; poor help defense; sporatic poor zone; Okafor's Robin to Wallace's Batman; Felton hitting timely shots; Diaw's trey....

When Oden got stuffed by Wallace, though, I sensed the wind going out of the Blazers' sails.

I'll give Sergio credit. He had a decent game. So did Bayless, though....other than a few rookie driving into traffic miscues.....

I'm still glad I drove up here, though.

Go Blazers!
 
We need him for sure! I've been saying this for months now.
 
I always wanted him on the team. I still really hope he's available and KP adds him.

A future of:

Bayless/Blake
Roy/Fernandez
Wallace/Batum
Aldridge/Outlaw
Oden/Przybilla

would be tremendous.
 
Nope, let it burn to a fuckin crisp.

Outlaw can get his own shot. Doesn't matter if it doesn't go in for 2 straight games. That 3rd game he will look good.
 
But KP said he wants to let the cake bake. He's too buddy-buddy with this roster to make such a deal.

strawman deluxe. Has anyone ever opposed a hypothetical with Travis and Wallace as the primary guys swapped? Hell, I seem to trumpet TO's positives as much as anyone here yet I repeatedly offered him (or Martell who I think they'd want more) up for Wallace plus Joel startng last year. I don't recall anyone speculating on Gerald in red and black prior to that... I'm up for a Labron for Raef + Travis too fyi

Good luck getting him without including Roy or LMA.

You're clueless.

Tell me how I am clueless. Didn't that team invest in Larry Brown as a coach? How are the Blazers going to max out Wallace without the Miles money?
 
wallace just got resigned. whether he is on the trade block or not is hard to tell
 
I love the guy's game but he's gotta keep that damned mouthpiece in his mouth - that's one of the most annoying things I've seen on the court in some time!
 
Yep, I would definitely love to see Wallace on the team- but what would it take? Maybe Raef, Rudy and a first round pick?

Wallace already has a contract with 3 years remaining before a player option year so there is no reason to max him out in the near future. If Portland were to trade for him, they'd also own his Bird rights and could max him out after his contract was up regardless of their cap situation. The only way that Miles's $$$/lost potential capspace could come in to play is that the Bobs and Blazers wouldn't be as able to pull off an imbalanced trade in the dollars exchanged. They could still clear about 8M in capspace by renouncing Travis Blake Frye Raef and Ike though, so even thats not really an issue.

not surprising since we (outlaw/LMA) played some of the softest defense on
him i've ever seen in the NBA - like nobody was guarding him at all 1/2 the time.

Don't blame Aldridge because he had a hard time guarding a SMALL FORWARD. Blame the defensive set that always had our POWER FORWARD guardign the opposing teams SMALL FORWARD.

Outlaw sucks on defense, so that was to be expected.
 
Sure we'd love to have Wallace, but can we get him? I'm starting to doubt it.

Jameer Nelson does the same thing.

lack of effort and intensity was the problem, not the fact that he had to guard a slightly shorter player.

I could be wrong, but it seemed like most of the defensive lapses and fouls by/on our bigs were when Sergio was in at the point. Everyone ends up out of position defensively when our point can't cover anyone. Bayless had a few miscues, too, but for Sergio it was nearly every play.
 
He made a believer out of me! Why in the world would they trade him though? He is their team.

I'm not saying they should or will, but with him they've remained consistent losers. Their roster has several holes including a scorer at 2 and another quality Big to team with EO. Certainly there are trades for him that would improve their chances for wins, but it would take some quality talent coming back.

The 'Cats have been shopping Wallace. I just don't have faith in KP that he could pull off a deal for Gerald or any other SF upgrade.

KP is just too buddy-buddy-father-figure-mentor to this roster to do anything, especially during the season.
