If he is in shape, we should bring him in for a tryout next year.

I could not allow an Antoine Walker thread without someone mentioning that we BRING BACK TOINE! Although I am not serious... or am I?

Apparently Antoine Walker needs the cash pretty badly -- after not landing an NBA gig he has taken a physical and signed to play with Guaynabo in Puerto Rico. Former Bull (and Buck and Hornet) Marcus Fizer will join him.

Walker has been out of the game for more than a year (remember his season in Minnesota in 2008? Don't worry, nobody does).  Still he hoped to find an NBA gig but not even the Wizards have been willing to pick him up. Come to think of it, he may not have been the best fit for that locker room right now -- remember he was arrested last year for writing $1 million in bad checks to Vegas casinos.

An FYI... just in case anyone was thinking of starting a bring back Toine thread ;D

Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Walker was a three-time All Star who probably still has enough game to make a difference in the Puerto Rico league. (Honestly, I've never seen a Puerto Rican basketball game, outside their national team beating the USA. And I've tried hard to repress that memory.)


I guess this is where this article belongs. I was wondering about Antione Walker after being among the 30 million or so of the unemployed. I'm gonna book my Puerto Rico holiday just to follow Antione around. Call me a Loser!

Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Fizer had been working out here in North Louisiana.  Hes been trying to make a comeback, I didnt expect this as his first stop.

You mean last stop. ;)

Seriously, knowing there's a PR basketball league just gives one more reason to book a sunny vacation, IMHO.  I never suspected it. Is there a team in Fajardo?

Right...'cause writing bad checks is the same thing as bringing loaded guns to public venues.  Is probasketballtalk for real???  ::) ::) ::)


Plus, Toine was HELD AT GUNPOINT TWICE in his career(first with Mercer, when he got robbed; the next time when he was tied up in his home)  You think he would've tolerated that s--t???  >:(

Antoine Walker was rumored to be in talks with some of Chinese teams but he opted to sign in Puerto Rico. The 34-year-old forward played in the NBA since 1996. He had stints with the Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat. Antoine Walker participated in the NBA All Star Game three times. He was also the NCAA champion with Kentucky back in 1996.

So, unlike Marbury, Toine preferred Puerto Rico, its beaches, and hot women.    Smart Choice, Antoine.   ;D
