More Walter



    A few days ago someone posited that the reason Walter was getting tons of 
minutes is because of the losses of LaFrentz and Baker.  That set me to 
thinking, and I can't comment in any definitive form, but if you lose Baker, you 
lose a widebody low post kind of guy who scores in the paint and grabs rebounds. 
 Walter doesn't replace that player, does he?
    I am much less aware of LaFrentz, but he struck me as being a guy who can 
play low post and also roam that area within 15 feet of the basket, throwing 
in little jumpers from 5-10', plus an occasional 3, and grabbing a few boards. 
 Sounds a bit more like Walter, but not identical.
    If you want to replace Baker, play Hunter.  Maybe if you want to replace 
LaFrentz, you play Jones?  
    And isn't it fun watching everyone looking at that final playoff spot and 
saying to all the others, "No, after YOU!"
