Bobcats trade Wallace to Blazers
The Charlotte Bobcats are set to clear significant payroll off of their books after dealing Gerald Wallace to the Portland Trailblazers.
In return, the Bobcats received center Joel Pryzbilla, whose contract is up at the end of the season.
Michael Jordan had made it clear over the past couple of months that he was looking to dump salary.
That said, the Bobcats have played much better under new head coach Paul Silas and pushed themselves into the playoff discussion.
This trade could certainly derail those playoff hopes, as the Bobcats just gave away their best player.
