Gerald Wallace is still unhappy about Charlotte's decision to trade him to the Blazers at the deadline.

Wallace believes cutting payroll was the main reason why he was traded and he's upset with how the situation was handled by general manager Rod Higgins.

"I don't even want to comment on that guy," Wallace said, before adding he believes Higgins was adamant in wanting to deal him. 

"I feel like that's been something he's been wanting to do."

Wallace is beginning to make a big contribution to the Blazers.

"I think my main thing was trying to learn the plays and trying to get over the shock of the trade and everything," Wallace said. "It took me a week to do that. Once that settled down and reality set in, you just move forward."
