    I don't disagree, but the who the hell would Charlotte want for him in return? I've got nobody in mind.

    We could run a seriously good small-ball unit with Wallace at the four and LMA at the five.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Oh, I wasn't saying Portland should trade for him. I don't think they can. Just commenting on the thread title...of vaguely-non-impossible-to-acquire players, Wallace might be the single player who could help Portland the most in their current situation.

    He's like a better rebounding version of Kersey.

    Great "bump" and great call. Lots of good insight by our posters. Other than the "I would rather have Diaw" post.... That was pretty funny.

    This totally makes up for Adam Morrison. Great prediction and analysis ahead of the pack.

    Well, I think there were quite a few of us who wanted G-Wall. I think the sticking point was that Charlotte wanted Batum at the time, and many fans didn't want to give up Batum for him. I was one of the few who probably would have dealt Batum to get Wallace.... boy am I psyched that we were able to get Gerald without giving up Nic.

    Don't lie. We all know you were on the "Draft the Stache" band wagon.

    I'm going to start a thread titled...... Dwight Howard would be a perfect center for our team!

    during the offseason and at trade deadlines over the past few years, GW was one of the players the board constantly dreamt up scenarios to attain. Nice for the stars to align and make our collective hopes come true

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Wallace and Miller are two players I've wanted on the Blazers for a long time...and while I'm thrilled to have them both, I kinda wish we got them at a younger age. But it's still great.
