Walker is a fantasy dud right now. If ‘Toine were to get traded to another team where he could be the first or second scoring option then that would be a different story. Not only does he lack the playing time, but Employee #8 is a lazy player who loves to take bad shots and turn the ball over. I don’t even think he practices anymore considering his FT% has regressed every year since his days in Beantown. So unless Posey or Haslem goes down with an injury Antoine will only have marginal value in Miami. At this point in his career I think he is perfectly content being an overpaid role player on a team with championship hopes.

Is it time to give up on Antoine Walker yet? He’s been ass horrible for the last few weeks, and with Shaq coming back I don’t see it getting any better. But maybe I should see if having Shaq baq takes some pressure off him? I picked him in the 11th round or so thinking he would contribute a little bit of everything, but all he seems to contribute are low percentages and TOs.

oh….right. editors? we don’t need no stinking editors!

As for your trade, do it. fast. wade is better than Camby, JO is better than Johnson, and Gooden isn’t nearly enough to make up the difference.

Quick heads up: his name is Melvin Ely. Great site.. keep it up. In the midst of a proposing Camby/Joe Johnson/Gooden for JOneal/Wade. Thoughts?

Hey, I was watching that game, too! I lost ten fuckin’ dollars on the Bobcats, but that’s probably my own fault. I was impressed by Ely as well, but fear he could develop Stromile Swift Syndrome, if that makes sense — athletic big man with unlimited fantasy potential but unable to get enough consistent PT in real life to be anything more than a tease.

And let’s give it up for my main man, Steve Buckhantz Memorial All-Star B-Knight: 10-16, 3-4, 23/6/5 with 4 steals. That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout!
