Re: Antoine Walker: Three Weeks Left As A Celtic?

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

See, this is what I mean.  This person seems to think we should trade
Antoine Walker for Raef LaFrentz.  That is how crazy this dead time is
making us.  Raef LaFrentz!  Two weeks ago people were scoffing at the
idea of trading him for David Robinson.  The fact is that only an
imbecile would sign an agreement with him on the eve of collective
bargaining talks that may save us from having to give him his "Garnett
money."
