The situation was probably already explained to Walker and I doubt he'll try to show off in front of Diesel and Pat Riley. With that being said, I think he'll help this team.

I agree if there is one place AW has a (long)shot at playing smarter it's Miami - due to Shaq.

It's what he does ON the court with the ball that could cause the problem.

Exactly. I don't know where everybody is getting this "attitude" stuff from, dude has a good attitude, and he's a good leader.

Without a doubt Walker will help the Heat. They have a bench post guy who can actually do something now. I think Haslem should start because it just gives the Heat more depth and a more balanced attack between the starters and the bench. I'm sure he'll get his shots, maybe not as many as he's taken in recent years, but he'll be a solid contributor off the bench. I love what Miami has done thsi offseason. J-Will to provide some help in the backcourt for Wade, getting a reliable defensive threat in Posey who can also shoot for a good percentage, and of course bringing in Toine' and resigning their interior players. Miami will be fun to watch and are my favorites to win the NBA title.

He won't help at all. He won't get touches, and he won't score. He will be traded back to the Celtics next offseason for twice as much as he's worth.

By the way, didn't Walker say that he hoped to buckle down and stay in a Celtics uniform just last year in offseason?
