Wallace will help them though.

They might have been able to make a move for Gasol but not with that package. Wallace may be past his prime but he'll help them inside on defense, and they'll just stick Gibson and Wally outside to hit uncontested threes off LeBron's doubles.
It's a reaction move after they lost out on both Gasol and Kidd, but it won't hurt them I don't think. They'll miss Hughes on defense though.

I don't personally see them as a better team after this trade, unless Wallace reverts to pre Chicago form. That's a really big if.
