Gerald Wallace.... no thanks

[Kamnik]

i just noticed his +/- stats

how the is that statistic possible?!

i know he is a low basketball iq player but dang! the worst +/- on his team

whoever pays him big money is a fool

[pwilliam]

the reason maybe he plays heavy minutes on a bad team. anyone playing on a bad team has bad +/- statistics.
you may look at the number of gasol. he has horrible +/- statistics (-239, similar to gerald wallace) this year, but a good +/- statistics last year (even 4 times better than garnett).

Pau Gasol -239, but plenty of teams would still like his services.

Joe Johnson -179
Josh Smith -210

Teams would love to have them as well.

Andre Iguodala -210, but would you take him to succeed Bruce Bowen?


Players who play big minutes on bad teams are going to have a poor +/- and it's understandable.
