Antoine Walker Returns

I am still quite amazed at how the 'fans' miss him. The guy was overrated and was not good for this team. A year ago they were calling to trade him. Now that they have, they all miss him and want him back. Antoine is not a great player. Of course, that is difficult to say when he puts up big numbers for dallas. Lets be honest though, getting assists in Dallas is not brain surgery. When you have a team such as Dallas that gets out on the breaks and shoots very well, assists will come plentiful. Antoine looks alot better in Dallas for another simple reason. He doesn't feel he has to carry the team every night as he thought he needed to in Boston(as he really did need to). Most games, he feels he doesn't need to jack 30 3-pointers (though I am sure he would if he could). He knows hes on a team with at least 3 scorers on the floor at any given moment. He does like to make the pass at times. (That is one trend I am enjoying seeing come back into the league, the pass being as valued as the finish).

And don't forget. One day Jiri will make us forget all about Walker. He has already for me. Jiri for Walker, a good trade.
