I suppose if Gordon walks and Hughes takes his spot then you could say they downgraded at two positions, didnt free up cap space and also gave a away a draft pick. Call me crazy but I find it hard to believe getting rid of Wallace was worth all the other negatives. Of course maybe he is trying to lose more games to get a better lottery position for the new GM.

Well..the edit was interesting at least

I'm not sure what you posted when the Bulls signed Wallace, but at the time I don't think there were many doing much else other than calling Paxson a genius. Considering where they were as a team at that point, where they were drafting and what they needed...it seemed like an inspired and agressive move. In hindsight, I think it was more that the rest of the team didn't end up where they should have been vs Wallace not getting them there. Either way, I don't know how you could have watched the Bulls in the last 12 months and said that getting rid of WAllace was a detriment.

I really think that at worse, the trade was a wash for the Bulls, but not the travesty that you make it out to be.
