Look, it was hinted at before Baker got traded...Vin Baker did absolutely
nothing for a Bucks team that should've been a lock for the playoffs year
after year. They certainly had enough talent. If anyone has seen this guy
play this year...he's startlingly pathetic. He was never very athletic but
this year it appears there's almost a disconnect between his brain and his
body. He seems totally uncoordinated, not one but two steps behind
everybody...and to be frank...it appears as if he doesn't care. It almost
seems as if the beating he took from Shaq during the playoffs last year
convinced him that he and the Sonics have no chance in the playoffs...so
what's the point? Bottom-line: you could throw Walker onto the court in a
body cast and he'd give you more of a game than Baker. By the way...George
Karl got fined for saying a few derogatory things about Wally Walker. I
guess the truth does hurt sometimes. And...I liked Holley's "The Honeymoon
Might Be Over" threat in the paper this morning. It certainly seems like he
could be ready for a quick divorce.
