1. Money. The hornets are desperately trying to avoid the lux tax, and TC has a player option for 12.5 mil next season which he will probably take (because it's a lot of money and he would be competing in the already competitive 2010 class so he probably won't opt out). Wallace, however, is in the last year of his deal and as talked about retirement. If he's serious about that, the hornets might try to negotiate a reduced buyout. If not, he's still a year less than TC.

2. Health. TC has had foot issues that limited him in the playoffs and much of the season. If the team believes it's going to be an issue, they might want to dump him while they still can.
