package Wallace in a Rondo trade... send him them both to the Bobcats along with one of the future 1st rounders for MKG or something.
But really think about that... using Rondo to dump Wallace's contract... for what? So we can sign Big Al or Josh Smith? You dump Rondo to help the tank... signing an impact player gives you the same issue you had with Rondo... they will play you out of the lotto. The only reason we'd want cap space is for flexibility... so we could absorb terrible contracts and pick up 1st rounders in the future.
Honestly, though... it doesn't matter if we get rid of Wallace. We aren't trying to sign impact players. That's counterproductive to a tanking. We're not going to be in the market for getting better for at least 2 years... and by then Wallace will be a very valuable expiring contract. It's a smart move.
People forget that when Danny brought in the "TERRIBLE" Theo Ratliff Contract with 2 years left on it... patience paid off, because in the final year of that deal we were able to use it as a key financial equalizer in the KG trade. For all we know, Wallace at 3 years 10 million is a key part of Danny's 3-5 year rebuild.
If that Ratliff contract was instead instant cap relief, we would have likely given up less for Garnett.
My point is, after we trade Rondo and Wallace, not only will we be in better position to absorb an unhappy superstar with less assets, we will have a better shot at Wiggins. The cherry on top would be the additional pick we knabbed from trading them.
Imagine Wiggins, upset but now happy cusp all-star, young talent, tons of picks by next summer?
Of course, it would be even better if Rondo pulled a Pierce 2007 and sat out. I just don't see that happening.
