Okay, look people....


Everyone here has pretty much stated that NO TEAM IN THIS ENTIRE FREAKIN' LEAGUE is going to sign Walker. 


Well I'm going to go out on a limb here and GUARANTEE That an NBA Team not only Signs Walker but Plays him in their Rotation before this season is done. 

If he DOESN'T end up on a team before the season ends, I will STOP posting here for the rest of the season *AND* Postseason. 




(yes, I like to gamble. Just call me Barkley)



Haha that's what I'm talking about.
God bless and good night!

Antoine is a good guy. I would like to see him back on the court again.

Going on 10 days past Toine's official release and still not even one confirmed inkling of a rumor that anyone is interested in Walker as a pick-up.

I think that is a very telling sign.


Of course he could be just taking his time over the holidays wading through all the offers he has received from across the NBA and around the world. ::)

A telling sign that I could be taking a very long vacation from this board.  *gulp*  :-\

Nah.  Personally(and all this is just speculation on my part....heck, this post of yours is also speculation but whatever...), I think Walker is TRYING DESPERATELY to latch on to a Playoff-Team, IMO.

If he cannot, then I think he seriously considers going to a Non-Playoff team to "just play basketball".  He won't retire at 32.  Even though he has more money than all of us put together.....  ::)


But all that said, though....Just because there is no confirmed rumor of any team wanting to sign him doesn't mean that there aren't teams that wouldn't mind giving him a shot as a 10th men/bench player to give them 10-12 minutes...Also, remember that the Basketball World these days don't really pay much attention to the NON-Stars in the league.   Walker is officially an afterthought.   (but don't tell him that.   ;D  )

Not me, I think he still can get a contract. He needs to find a Donnyel Marshall/Austin Croshere situation. At this point of the season, it's more difficult, he'll probably need an injury. I'm only sure he won't play for the C's or for CSKA Moscow (their style is as un-Walkeresque as it gets; their Coach is like Larry Brown on steroids).


If he DOESN'T end up on a team before the season ends, I will STOP posting here for the rest of the season *AND* Postseason.

Don't do that, Barkley. Just tweak the bet and say that you will stop posting here ABOUT WALKER. Non Walker-related posts would still be fair game. People will understand (and appreciate) that small backpedaling.

I'd like to see Toine take BBD's minutes in second unit.

I have a question and due to the quality of this board I know I will have an answer. Has any player ever been bought out and then not had enough interest to sign with a team? I don't believe there are many, meaning that I would be surprised if Toine doesn't get signed. I feel like our second unit needs to be able to function without either Ray or PP. IMO this will lead towards a trade to shed players, Zo, Starbury and Toine are all good options.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

True.  What's disturbing is that Ainge is willing to take a chance on Stephon ME-Bury....Yeah I heard that the Celtics aren't interested in Toine(for the moment, that is...) but if Ainge wants someone to bolster his bench AND ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE, He should go give Zo a shot 'cause he can provide a little offense but PLENTY OF SHOTBLOCKING-IN-YOUR-FACE Defense, though.

Do you want the address to his local YMCA?
