I think Wallace is a short-term fix. He's getting up in age and his offense is woeful. No doubt his defense is what earned him the money. But I don't see him staying healthy beyond the 2nd year of this deal. This is a lot of $ to be paying a 36-37 year old when he's at the end of this deal.
I think Detroit was wise not to pay him. I'm surprised Isiah Thomas didn't overpay Wallace more than the Bulls.
