BREAKING: David Lee traded to the Boston Celtics for Gerald Wallace

[Uncle Drew]

boston got screwed

They really didn't. They got a one year rental for a, if healthy, really good big man, and will shred another extra 5m off the books when his contract expires next summer.

wait boston probably wants to tank again

boston got screwed

By getting a guy who just made an impact in a Finals series for a literal nothing player?

[Heavincent]

I guess. I guess the Warriors could just stretch Wallace and save money on tax, but giving up Lee for nothing here...I don't know about that.

They shaved $5.5 million off the cap by trading a guy who fell out of the rotation. Understandable.

[Braincells]

Wallace was such a beast in his prime. I wonder how much he has left in the tank for GS. Probably none.

Having watched him for the past 2 years, definitely has nothing left.

[StephHamann]

Boston should now try to get Zach Randolph too.

Lee and Randolph would be a formidable frontline.

Cool, another FMVP candidate against LeBron.

They shaved $5.5 million off the cap by trading a guy who fell out of the rotation. Understandable.

I think it saves about 12m or more in tax as well.

So the savings will be huge for the Warriors.

Hate to see David go though. Stand up guy. Glad he got a ring.

Shedded that huge number, got some scrub depth. win/win. Guess theyll have to find a new poker dealer for the plane rides.

David Lee is a 17 and 10 player. I'm curious what we do at PF because I do believe Sully is a legit starting PF when healthy.

[Rooster]

Has to be something else. Lee is a much better player than Wallace. Warriors likely got something or they have another deal in place.

The Warriors are not paying that hefty luxury tax. Maybe Wallace can retire and the Warriors can stretch his salary.

Time for some more trades.

Why did Gerald Wallace fall off so fast? He was still solid, in say, 2011 (?), and now he's a complete scrub


Dude had years of 19/6/4, 18/7/3, 17/8/3 and 18/10/2.

Pretty sure injuries, no? I know he's at least had knee and ankle surgery within the last couple years. Considering his playing style... Always thought Wallace was the type who wouldn't be able to walk around 45. When your nickname is crash, your body probably has no chance.

He still has a lot left imo. But he was sitting on the bench at GS being wasted. He should be good for Boston.
