Kings could get Walker in sign-and-trade deal
Quote:

The Herald's Steve Bulpett reports that the Celtics could trade Antoine Walker and either Mark Blount or Raef LaFrentz to the Kings for Corliss Williamson or Brian Skinner.

He's not a bad player at all.

Re: Kings could get Walker in sign-and-trade deal
I'd do it.
Walker is possibly the most hated player on these boards for the way he plays, but the teams he's on always seem to do well.

Re: Kings could get Walker in sign-and-trade deal
The Celtics get rid of the most selfish player in the league and Raef LaFrentz's contract for two serviceable role players?
Well played, Danny Ainge. Well played.

Re: Kings could get Walker in sign-and-trade deal
I think it would be a good deal for Kings, if they get Lafrentz and Walker (not Blount). If that happened though it would probably have to be Williamson and Kenny Thomas though.
PG - Mike Bibby/Bobby Jackson
SG - Kevin Martin/Francisco Garcia
SF - Peja Stojakovic/Eric Daniels
PF - Antoine Walker/Brian Skinner
C - Brad Miller/Raef Lafrentz
I'd love that for the Kings, because Walker fits into the Princeton offense nicely, because of his passing ability and you know it's pretty interesting, but I feel that Martin and Garcia are very similar to Christie and Turkoglu. Both guys are all-around players but they bring much higher scoring potential. I shudder to think what Garcia will do backcutting and coming off screens on the Kings.
This will be an interesting season for the Kings and it looks like Petrie would have rebuilt on the fly.

Re: Kings could get Walker in sign-and-trade deal
I kinda like the deal...Walker is C-Webb lite
isn't the passer but is a good passer and in a structured offense he could perform extremely well...
that Petrie fella is a genious

I know plenty of old timers and HOFer's that claimed defense in the late 90's and early 2000's weren't as good as the 80's. Wilt once said he'd average 70 ppg in the modern-day NBA because defenses were so much worse. Pippen once said KG was a stats guy who disappears down the stretch of games. Bill Walton once said Rasho was a better interior defender than Tim Duncan because Tim Duncan was on the bench at the time. Barkley once said Argentina was located north of the Indian ocean.

Re: Kings could get Walker in sign-and-trade deal
I wonder if Evans comes back, then Kmart would have to come off the bench.
And also i don't think Petrie would be done with this team after getting Walker, we would see some more changes.  |

Re: Kings could get Walker in sign-and-trade deal
When they drafted Garcia, that should have told you Evans wouldn't be back.

That is the only thing that makes me like the deal. Lafrentz and Blount both suck, I'd rather buy Aaron Boones used toilet paper then their contracts. Are Williamson and Skinner FA's this season, or after this one?
