Thank you! It's nice to know I'm not crazy. Man, I have brought this very idea up on other boards (and perhaps this one) and gotten ZERO response. To me, it makes all the sense in the world! Bill Walton has forgotten more about how to play center than most people will ever know. I also think he'd enjoy rekindling the rivalary with KAJ (Bynum's coach).
Didn't Walton leave the Blazers on bad terms, blaming them for mishandling his foot injuries? Has that been patched up? Since the organization is now entirely different people I'd assume so, but some grudges last longer than I'd have believed possible.
Given the great glee he took in dissing the team during the "JailBlazer" years, I'd say he is still carrying a grudge.
At the game last night, I noticed that Greg looked a lot slimmer than he did to start the season. It think its for the best too.
Maurice Lucas wasn't able to work with Greg for the first 25 or so games of the season due to his bout with pneumonia. I think he's helping Greg alot too.
I dont think Bill can move around very well. He has had some major back problems recently. And Luke plays for the Lakers so he might not want to stir that pot.
You haven't been paying attention. Bill loves the new Blazers. He would help Greg in a heart beat if asked. Bill and the Blazers buried the hatchet years ago. Plus he loves big MO. He would help out as long as there was no physical worked involved. He would get killed out there.
