Re: More trade stuff
With Walker making around $2.5 million dollars, how would they send him
to LA for the players you mentioned? Their combined salaries are
probably over $10 million dollars! Elden alone is at $7 million.
Not that the first part of the deal couldn't go through, and it would
make more sense for Vancouver and Boston if it involved Mercer rather
than Antoine. Vancover needs a shooting guard, and mercer has two years
left on his contract.
