What if you had seen the Wallace trade in the Trade Drawer (POLL)

I know this should be a FanShot, but I didn't see a way to add a poll to a FanShot. So it's a FanPost. Anyway.

It's really quite remarkable, and quite a statement on the financial positions of many teams in the NBA, just how little the Blazers had to give up in order to acquire a solid star like Gerald Wallace. The terms of the trade were seemingly so one-sided, no one would have dared even suggest it in a Trade Drawer. And that's saying something, for many suggested trades on BE are laughably one-sided in favor of Portland.

Poll

Be honest: If someone had suggested, pre-trade deadline, the Gerald Wallace-to-Portland deal exactly as it turned out, how would you have responded?

70% Ha! Right. Why would Charlotte make that deal? (243 votes)
7% No. Give up Sean Marks? Are you kidding? (26 votes)
2% Noooo. We're mortgaging our future by giving away a mid-20s draft pick. (10 votes)
18% Makes perfect sense to me. (65 votes)
