Orlando Happy Walker Traded



It's a win-win situation for everyone apparently....

Helpful trade: The Magic were delighted with how Monday's blockbuster trade between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks turned out. The Celtics shipped All-Star forward Antoine Walker and point guard Tony Delk to Dallas for Raef LaFrentz, Chris Mills, Jiri Welch and a first-round draft pick. 
Walker always seemed to give the Magic matchup fits in the past, beating them with his shooting from afar when they put bigger defenders on him and posting up when Orlando opted for smaller defenders. Walker averaged 19.3 points per game against the Magic last season, including a high game of 28 points. 
"I certainly wasn't disappointed by it," Magic head coach Doc Rivers joked. "Put it this way -- it wasn't the worst day of my life seeing him go."
