NBA Trade Deadline: Gerald Wallace Crashes In New Jersey


This was the first move in a series of major shake ups today by the current 20 - 23 Portland Trailblazers!

Nets get:
• F Gerald Wallace

Blazers get:
• F/C Mehmet Okur
• F Shawne Williams
• Protected first-round pick

Wallace is averaging 13.3 points and 6.6 rebounds on the years. He has become an intricate part of Nate McMillian's system in Portland. But I guess, when your plan is to get rid of Nate McMillian, that fact is irrelevant.

On paper, this seems like another plus for Brooklyn, as they look to occupy their new space with as much momentum as possible.

Okur, who has been relegated to just 17 games this season because of back injuries, is on an expiring contract and would help free up cap space for the Blazers. So, they're not necessarily "asleep in the bread aisle."
