Antoine Walker on WEEI A-Team

Here's what he said...

Antoine:  Was late getting to Boston because he was moving.  Fitness 
will be an advantage for the Celtics.  Not disappointed with CBA, but 
was disappointed for missing so many games.  Could have settled earlier.  
Looking forward to being a Celtic for life.  Kenny will help his game.  
Gets easy baskets for Antoine.  Very excited to play with him.  Likes 
Tony Battie.  Talking about him as if he (Battie) is coming ("is going 
to fit in well").  Wants to gain respect from refs.  Needs to control 
emotions and let "Coach" stay on the refs.  Proud of being Celtics 
captain.  Says Pierce is very athletic and shoots well.  Will fit in 
well in the system.  Hasn't heard Mashburn is coming.  After the Battie 
deal, thinks the team is pretty set.  Wasn't bothered by trade rumors.  
Personally, he says his job is to listen to the coach, who is in charge.  
Praises Pitino as a professional.  Credits him with getting him to where 
he is now.  Hopes to get his contract extension as soon as the CBA is 
done.
