Gerald Wallace voiced his displeasure about being moved to a bench role on Wednesday.
"I'm trying to figure out what's really going on and go from there," Wallace said. "I don't have a clue. I don't know what's going on. My thing is, when I'm on the court, I compete to win." He went on to say it's "their team" and that's not exactly cliche talk with players usually inclusive in the team aspect. Wallace was traded in the offseason

If he didn't suck, he wouldn't have gone to the bench. I don't think his beat up body allows him to make the crucial hustle plays that he used to, at this point. Gerald Wallace was invaluable, at one point. Now he's practically worthless. It's sad, but that's what happens to hustle players who beat the living shit out of their bodies. He's the equivalent of a great special teamer in the NFL who's only great during his physical prime.

Gerald Wallace is a team leader who puts in 110% effort every play. As Clairvoyant Bill said, Wallace probably thinks he's 283% better than he actually is.

The main problem is that Jeff green is our top scoring option, and plays the same position. Personally I'd be fine with green playing SG, since we aren't a winning team anyways, but Wallace should understand Green is ahead of him on the DC
