----------------------
Charlotte hasn't exactly been selling out games, and after they sign their first round pick they'll have approximate total salaries for 09/10 of $ 58.8 million without even re-signing Raymond Felton or picking up the min option on Sean Singletary. I'm guessing they don't bother keeping Sean May.
Wallace's contract estimated by shamsports:
09/10 - 9.5
10/11 - 9.5
11/12 - 9.5
12/13 - 9.5 (player option)
Larry Brown gets sick of everyone who ever plays for him unless they're a total scrub, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Gerald Wallace on his "get him off my team" list.
A straight salary dump of Wallace for Oberto + Bowen works via the espn trade machine. One small problem would be that Brown might be inclined to not even cut Bowen just to keep him around.
Positives for the Spurs : great athlete who's still young (27 to start 09/10) and can run and jump with the best of them. Still widely regarded as a great defender.
Cons : Walking injury-risk. His career could be jeopardized by another bad fall, he's had at least 4 concussions with Charlotte as well as a collapsed lung. He's an atrocious 3-point shooter. No longer blocks shots like he used to. He has close to zero playoff experience and could just be a regular season wonder, logged a total of 42 playoff minutes with Sacramento over 5 years ago.
