This is nonsense.  Keeping Walker and his whining would have been the worst
thing the Ainge could have done.  There is a reason no one would trade for
Walker.  It's amazing that more teams claim to be interested in Baker and
Wallace then in Walker!  Walker has skills and is at least a decent person
from all accounts.

The biggest mistake was Ainge believing OB saying he would/could change to
coach the style of BB Ainge wanted.  He did for awhile, but when LaFrantz
went out he reverted to his old style.
