BlazersEdge: Around the League; Gerald Wallace

[Gerald Wallace is] definitely that kind of crazed, charging bull that this team lacks. He's also the kind of crazed, charging bull that will want to start at small forward. In the short term that's not a problem, but Nicolas Batum might be just as valuable in the long run.

I'm very amused that Gerald Wallace is becoming something of a white whale for a segment of the BE crowd.

Is it worth trading Wallace for Batum?

No

I think Ajinca is a big enough project for us right now. Every time I watch Portland, I’m more impressed with Outlaw. Plus, no more French players. I’m not saying theyre all soft but so far 100% of the French players on the Bobcats are. Its their style of ball I guess. I’m not sure if they were not taught fundamentals such as boxing out and being physical in the paint in France or what. I do think that they teach a more physical style of ball in America. Everyone who played basketball growing up or plays at their local Y knows how to box out and have the mentality that every rebound is yours.
