Ben Wallace finally gone, Paxson still fucked up

So here I am a few hours after the NBA trade deadline has passed, and Big Bum, Ben Wallace is no longer a Bull. Good riddance. The old overpaid fart, who didn’t give a dam, and thought he was better than the team, wearing a headband when team policy says no, but getting an exemption. A miserable failure who was exposed without playing with Rip, Sheed, Tayshaun, and Chauncey, which is showing since the Pistons haven’t missed a beat since he left.

One problem: John Paxson may have just set the team back even more with this deal. He got Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes in return for Wallace, but Gooden is nothing but a slight upgrade over Joe Smith, who was also traded away in the deal, and Hughes has a bloated contract just like Wallace and he plays with no desire either. Furthermore, Hughes contract is less than Wallace’s, but since the Bulls are going to be over the cap, this is going to hurt because they will have less money to spend under the cap when his deal comes off the books. DAM IT JOHN!!
