Why, Thank You Michael

June 29th, 2007 by Brett Boyer · No Comments

The second most mistifying move of Draft Night (#1 being the Knicks getting Zach Randolph) had to be Charlotte trading Brandan Wright for Jason Richardson.  Apparently Michael Jordan wanted a cluth, go-to jump shooter (sort of like when he traded Rip Hamilton for Jerry Stackhouse) and Richardson, being the lynchpin to several 25-30 win seasons for Golden State was his guy.

This makes you wonder where Gerald Wallace fits in with them.  Charlotte still has plenty of freedom under the cap to resign Wallace (and has his Bird Rights), but where does Adam Morrison fit in here?  Wallace can play some shooting guard but Morrison cannot.  Are they turning Wallace loose and going with a starting five of Felton-Richardson-Morrison-May-Okafor?

I feel that Morrison is barely an NBA player but Michael Jordan is the one who invested a pick in him … he has more reason to force him into the starting lineup over a player — Wallace — that he had nothing to do with obtaining.

This is clearly Milwaukee’s potential gain, since they are the most logical destination for him.

Hopefully I’m right about this.
