	Strip away everything else; the turnovers, the forced shots, the 
excessive threes, the drives into traffic, the rebounds, the assists 
the scoring and the main efficiency in Pierce's game, not found in 
Walker's, is exactly as you said; trips to the line. If Pierce got the 
same treatment from the ref's as Walker, how miserable would his 
shooting % be?
	Why is this so? Lots of reasons, but among others, lets look at 
personality. Paul came into the league as a shy, polite, kid, while 
Walker showed  swagger and  bravado. Paul got lots of sympathy from 
being stabbed and his amazing recovery, while Walker's scowl, petulance 
and showboating, ired the officials.
	Well, guess what? Paul is no longer such a shy, polite kid. his own 
scowling, whining and petulance may start getting under the zebra's 
skin. Then where will he be? Another bozo with a below 40% shooting %?
	As for leadership, just who was screaming in whose face, to inspire 
the great comeback against N.J., in the 2002 playoffs?
	I like both players, I think they should be kept together, as they are 
among the most versatile combo in the league. With a true point guard, 
both should improve their games and should not have to shoulder so much 
of the load, which as I said earlier, causes most of their problems.
	Trading either one for less than good value, would be a huge mistake. 
I want to see the team  reach championship level, but I want them to 
improve each year, along the way, not fall back. That seems to be the 
big challenge for Ainge.

	As for calling other posters "clowns," because they disagree with you, 
this reminds me why I don't post here often and won't be looking to 
come back anytime soon. 	
	You should at least, have  the integrity to quote completely:
  "I'd take Antoine at his word. He wants to finish his career in 
Boston. He has kept his mouth shut this off-season and for all we are 
led to believe, he is working with Tim Grover on his legs and his diet, 
as well as the general conditioning, to perhaps move over to the three, 
or at least to add quickness and leaping ability to his play in the 
post."
