Chris Wallace is not a good NBA general manager.
He would certainly like you to think that he is. When pressed about his questionable decision making, Wallace often refers to the seven-year playoff streak during his tenure with the Memphis Grizzlies. Recently in the last few months, he bragged about he has “presided over the best run in the history of this franchise”.
On the contrary, the success of this franchise has largely been in spite of Chris Wallace, rather than because of him. The Grit ‘N’ Grind Memphis Grizzlies came about mostly through dumb luck.
