Re: Question
I don't think its a problem. You have to think about this from Atlanta's point of view. They know that there's no way in hell that Antoine is resigning there and he's going to be gone. Who can offer for him and who would offer something they want for him? Could they have gone to New Orelans and tried for Baron Davis? Perhaps, but I don't think it would have worked out. So what do you do if you're Atlanta? Keep Walker, and let him walk and get absolutely nothing for him, or try to find something to get for him?
Clearly, you take the first rounder and retain the cap room that Walker would give you.
Also, what's wrong with sucking to its fullest extent? Its not like Atlanta was a threat to make the playoffs with Walker. They've been awful and they were going to continue being awful with Walker out there. Why not get the best offer available and improve your own draft standing?
