Wallace began working in the NBA in 1986, and was the general manager of the Boston Celtics for ten seasons. Unlike many of his general manager peers, he has never been a player or coach in the NBA. In 2007, he joined the Grizzlies as their general manager and vice president of basketball operations.〔(GRIZZLIES: Grizzlies name Chris Wallace General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations )〕 == Beginnings in the NBA == Jon Spoelstra gave Wallace his first NBA job with the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Heat won a franchise-record 61 games in 1996–97, and Wallace is credited with discovering many of the Heat's players. His responsibilities included college and international scouting and searching for potential talent in the Continental Basketball Association as well as the NBA. Wallace was promoted to that position after four years as a scout for the Heat. Before joining the Heat, Wallace worked in various scouting capacities for the Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, and New York Knicks. He also worked as a draft consultant for the United States Basketball League. In 1981, while a student at the University of Kansas, Wallace founded Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, an in-depth preseason guide, which he edited and published until 1996.
