TRADING BLOCK: ANTOINE WALKER, RON MERCER, KENNY ANDERSON (CELTICS)
INTERESTED TEAMS: RIGHT NOW, NO ONE


Analysis:  Talk about two guys whose stock has really fallen. Walker is 
still very talented, but the brutal treatment by Celtics fans is wearing on 
him. Mercer thinks he is worth much more than the Celtics or the rest of 
the NBA does, which is scaring everyone off. Now that Paul Pierce has shown 
he can play the 2, Mercer has become expendable, thus you are hearing 
rumors like the Samaki Walker for Mercer trade rumors. The Celtics won't 
let Walker go for nothing. I think he'll have to stick it out at least one 
more season unless the Sonics decide he's worth Vin Baker. The Celtics will 
have a hard time unloading Anderson, but Mercer could be a nice fit 
somewhere and is the most likely of the three to be dealt.
