Walker playing the brunt of the minutes isn't going to translate into that much more success than who we have out there right now.
And yeah...he's a great locker room guy. But at this stage he's really not doing a whole lot more than that. To be clear, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if he signed, but I wouldn't be actively pursuing him.

ok...but even if its a little more success than what we have now why not do it? lets say its not toine...its player X...if player X can come in and make the team even a little better, while signing for the vets min and not taking the roster spot of anyone that will contribute, why not do it?

Re: Antoine Walker may very well be bought out
Here's another question you must ask yourself: Is there need for a 263 lbs. SF?

If "player X" is P.J. Brown, I'm all for it.

Re: Antoine Walker may very well be bought out
I'd like to see Walker back in Boston just to reunite with Pierce again. He won't be much help, if any, but I don't think it'd hurt having another locker room guy that the city loves.
BTW Dahntay Jones got cut? Odd. Making room for Walker possibly? If Walker does get bought out with Minny, he's for sure headed to Boston in this case.

Doleac and Simien each has only this season remaining on his contract, which makes both a candidate to be cut from a big Wolves roster that grew more bloated Wednesday. The Wolves also received cash. As of Wednesday evening, Walker and Doleac were scheduled to report to the Wolves; Simien was not.

weird... why on earth the wolves want to hang on to walker (if they do) is beyond me.
