Re: Keep Antoine

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Two reason why Walker's not going anywhere.....he's too expensive and not
worth it. His 19 points per game come at the expense of 42% shooting, 6.6
rebounds and 68% foul shooting. If he were listed on the market he'd be
listed as a don't buy, overvalued.
