And that missed expectation is probably making things worse for him as he adjusts.
That and the Lebron James effect on Miami. That town thinks every high priced FA is gonna lead them to championships. Again, their expectation of Wally was out of whack.
It's almost like going to a movie. If you go in thinking its gonna be the best movie you've ever seen and it's only pretty good, you're coming out of the theater a little bummed.
