    HonestAbe - Never questioned that Wallace was untradeable. My comment had to do with clearing cap space as the primary reason to move him. This season, they are over the cap but under the estimated LTax. No advantage to a capwise trade for this season only (ie Brandon's medical "retirement") at this point.

    The Pistons are committed to ~$37.8m for 2004-05. The only way to lower this figure is to get a player of similar productivity, with a similar contract for matching purposes and that contract has to expire next summer (or the following 2005). IMO, since Wallace never exceeds $6.5m and only has 3 more seasons himself (summer 2006), his one dimensional play is the driver, not cap space.
