It was a bad trade. There is no chemistry with the Blazers so far since the trade. Wesley is playing somewhat timid. There is no strong defense at the rim. Double teams have become much more effective on LMA, with no one cutting to the hoop for the easy bucket. There are no good picks to open up shooters. And as everyone feared, everybody stands around watching BRoy when he gets the ball. Now with Wallace we can add one more guy on the team that's a ball stopper. Just watch how long the ball stays in his hands when he gets it. To be fair, he may not know the offense or his teammates yet, but I'm not optimistic. And he threw a lot of bad passes when they closed up his drive to the hoop. I want the Blazers to do well. I'm a huge fan. I've watched every single game this year. But exactly what I thought would happen as a result of the trade has happened. It doesn't look promising to me. I hope I'm wrong.
