Walker to Toronto?

[Michael Joseph Byrnes <mbyrnes@leland.Stanford.EDU>]

This deal (Walker, Bowen, and #10 to Toronto for Camby, Wallace, and #4)
will never, never, never happen.  If the Celtics don't want to pay
Walker $100 million, keep then there is no way on earth that the
cash-strapped Raptors will sign him.  

That said, and assuming that Keeping Walker is out of the question, it
wouldn't be too bad a deal for the Celtics.  Camby, though not a true
center, would be a great fit in Pitino's system (assuming he stays healthy
and is willing to put forth the effort).  Wallace isn't a bad option at
the #3 spot, and the #4 pick will be either Pierce, Jamison, or LaFrentz
(I suspect Bibby and Olowokandi will ne top three pitcks).  

That deal would not be a bad "plan B", but don't hold your breath.
