Wow lets hope he isn't another Joe Johnson... Doubt he will though.
How did you know he won't, Did we all know JJ would be this good when we traded him way back in his rookie season?. we were gearing up for the playoffs then and there was no room for JJ hence the 4 month rental of Rodney Rogers.
We are gearing up for the playoffs now, so waht did DA do?, He shipped Bill and got us Nate but personally we should have gotten Nate for House alone, no need to include Walker.
The problem of this being a vet team is pretty obvious and Walker just won't get any PT period, but to say BW won't develop into something special is in denial. We should have been patient on the kid, all he needs is confidence and look at what he has done.He is free in D'Antoni's system and he is serving notice that he's got game...and please lets not say its just against the Pistons coz our team just struggled against that team including our all star PP.
Only time will tell if Bill will be another Joe J., we should have developed Walker the way we developed Reggie Lewis..it just takes a lot of patience (and Reggie is even older than Walker now when we acquired him as a rookie.)
