Re: Trades?

Rasheed can take it to the hole, power it up inside, can shoot up to 18 ft range, can pass, blocks shots, and most especially knows his limitations and strengths (to which are lots).  As for Antoine, well, he can score and score and score in any ways he likes even in the weirdest stances, he can rebound, can pass, but has no back to the basket move, can't bruise it up inside with players as big as he, and most importantly doesn't know how to stop shooting when having a bad game.
 
Fine, fine.  So let's take out the three players you don't like (Mutombo, Rasheed, Brian Grant).  Would you take Webber in exchange for Walker???  I would in a heartbeat.  Of course, you would take Duncan too in a heartbeat!  Who wouldn't?
 
Hey, I also saw some clips of Carlos Rogers playing in Houston, and I see a better player in him than Battie-the forever El Busto man!  That really sucks when I thought he would be playing his heart out now that he's got the money but instead he hid his game up his butt.  What a loser.
 
Anyways, thanks for your comments...always appreciate others' views and opinions.

  I love reading trade fantasies in this list.  I myself, fantasize about trading our "Franchise player" (Walker) to either of these players: 1. Webber (very unlikely bcoz of success in Sacramento and his huge salary)2. Tim Duncan (Most unlikely coz it would cost us to give up the whole team)3. Mutombo (feasible but he's at the end stage of his career)4. Rasheed Wallace5. Brian Grant 
  Why do you want Dikembe Mutombo? Many people say that Vitaly and Danny are too slow to utilise Rick's coaching to the fullest. Yet, you want a guy who is a step slower than those two. Why? Why? Why?

He has no offense. He doesn't do anything on defense until blocking a shot. He has proven even with an All-Star quality backcourt that he cant carry his team deep into the post season. He is ten years older than the one of the few triple double threats in the NBA and you're willing to give it up for him?

As for Rasheed Wallace - why?

What does Rasheed offer the Celtics that Antoine cannot provide? I like Rasheed, but he is not as good as Antoine Walker. 

Brian Grant; we have Danny Fortson? Why do we need another guy who doesn't do much in other categories than blocks. Brian Grant does not alter many shots or block many for that matter (check his blocks stats).
