One thing this team has lacked fer DEM SHOO is toughness....meaness....dirty ,filthy, savage play. Wallace will give them that and should be revived going to a good team. Smith is far from a slouch and isn't exactly 47.Wally gives them that outside shooter they so desperately need now with Gibson down.

I was only sorry to see Gooden and Newble go,but this is a trade for now.I think they doubted their chances of getting back to the finals with all the injuries.They still need the pg,but I think they did improve the team for the playoffs this year....definitely the big man play gets even better and they're not hurt in the backcourt with this.

thanks...you're almost as good as Mortimer. Not quite however. Hughes was not a star, but did some things well. I do think they're hurt a bit in the backcourt however. I've just never been a big Wallace fan, don't know if it's cause he played for Detroit and Chicago or not. On the bright side, I am usually wrong as Mortimer would attest so perhaps my opinions on this are a good sign for the team. (ps..."lousy' and "average" are not interchangeable!)
