RE: Walker on the block

The more I see of Walker the more I think he is not going anywhere.  He is 
what 21 or 22 and with a little more experience he will be a star.  The 
Celtics would be foolish to move him unless it is for a big time young 
star, not a Scotty Pippen with a few years left.  As I said before Chicago, 
or any other team, would love to rebuild with our young stars.

The more I think about the Pitino interview, I believe he is fishing to
trade Walker for something like a potential lottery pick and maybe
something like to get Pippin.

I think that Walker is the one that will be traded for several reasons.
I think that Pitino believes that Mercer can be a better player as he is
unselfish.  They do not want to put the money into Walker and he may not
believe that Walker has what it takes to learn.  Finally, they may not
want to deal with David Falk.  Walker will not be worth the money he
will want.  I bet Walker goes to Chicago for Pippin.

That is just a thought.
