The Golden State Warriors surprised many this week when it was announced that they traded recent acquisition Gerald Wallace to the Philadelphia 76ers for Jason Thompson. Wallace was acquired in the trade that sent David Lee to the Boston Celtics, and his tenure as a Warrior lasted just five days. While it was widely theorized that Wallace’s time as a Warrior would be short, many expected the Warriors to use the stretch provision on him, because the chances of finding a suitable trade partner willing to take on Wallace’s $10.1 million contract were extremely slim.
