He was talkin about it on the charity game. Says that all 3 players are gonna make a big impact. He says Antoine Walker is the key player in the trade and the 6th man role is gonna be great for him and Miami. He says because he's the 6th man that, when Wade or Shaq go to the bench, he's gonna give the team a whole new look. He says that the Heat will get out and run a lot more than last year because of Williams & Walker (Wade goes without saying).
Well Barkley also though he could win a ring with Pip and Glide. It goes without saying that the Heat will run more, but people are a little over optimistic about Jwill's running ability. He hasn't played with a running pf since Chris Webber, and even then the Kings played a lot of half court offense. I actually think that Antoine Walker could be bad for this team. You already had guys like Doleac, Haslem, Laettner, that were making most of their open shots. That's all you needed. You didn't have anyone who was really reckless on your team (except Dooling on occasion). Now you're dealing with a guy who thinks he can make every shot that he takes. It could be trouble.

Good to see Barkley aint the only one who loves this trade. No matter what the doubters say it was a great trade, we definitely improved, Barkley was correct. As Barkley mentioned Walker is the only question mark but if he plays the way he is supposed to and the way he said he would in the press conference then things will turn out fine.
