Isn't this more or less what Warwick posted earlier.  It makes one think 
these rumors get started from people reading lists like this one.

That's exactly what he is, isn't it?  At least he wouldn't have a large 
contract to inflate expectations.

I'm a little less than impressed with this trade.  I'd want more for Mercer 
than two huge question marks.  Looking at Alex's previous post made me 
realize how thin the talent gets once Mercer is removed from the team.  They 
really do need to get a player for him, not just a big body or two.

No.  He'll say it's an awful trade that they never should have made.

Anyway, NBA.COM has this to say about our newest Walker...

So, he can get injured and sit on the bench in his "unusual hat", reminicing 
with Popeye about Dallas, and Pervis about Louisville.  Except, I forgot, 
those guys are both headed to Dallas.  Oh well, nothing's perfect.
