Walker LEAAAVE! Antoine Walker is horrible on the court and it disgusts me looking at the box score and seeing 5 for 30 shooting. A perfect example of him on the court is against the 76ers in the 2001(i think) playoff series when they were down by two and Pierce was calling for the ball, Walker went for 3 and bricked it. Also in this years playoffs there were numerous times when on a fastbreak walker had an open man but no he forced a layup and missed. This guy makes bad decisions in games and we definitely can survive without him.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting playmaker31:</div><div class="quote_post">Isn't Lafrentz going to be traded this offseason? That's why iI have Blount starting.</div> While I've heard no news of LaFrentz being traded, it'd be a huge cap relief to have his contract gone or reduced. I still think he plays an awful lot better than Blount though, and you need some experience in your starting lineup, so keep LaFrentz, you want cap relief, trade Blount. Trade him to Isiah for Trevor Ariza, two first rounders, Isiah's kids, a couple million in cash, and Isiah's lunch. If he doesn't go for that deal, which I strongly doubt he wouldn't (it's got Zeke written all over it), just take his lunch, it's just useful as Blount. And I think I should get his lunch for thinking it up. I'd be happy to share whatever the side is with Danny, probably chips or maybe a macaroni salad, it's be splendid. And probably nutritious, even in Isiah's post playing days he looks great. And while I savor every bite of that scrumptious corned beef, I'd know that I did the Celtics a favor, and that Zeke will probably feel ripped off in another month and send him off to Siberia to play ball with Polar Bears and we'll all live happily ever after. Except Mark Blount, he'll be mistaken for a lost dog and be shot by a Siberian Mud Farmer. And then we'll all live happily ever after.

I think that they will conted for a 6 seed even without Walker.</div> In My Humble Opinion, if you sign and trade Walker for even a serviceable offensive 5, and kill Blount slowly [(thereby voiding his contract), but for real, just trade him for a decent 3 to back up Gomes], I say the C's can contend for a 3 seed again. With that lineup, I say the C's win the Atlantic again, relatively uncontested, and go proceed to the second round, past a Philly or a New Jersey.
P.S. Forgive the Blount-bashing, I just really can't tolerate his lack of effort, and all I hear out of Waltham is the same old, so I guess I'm just on a kick lately.
