re- Walker

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Man this is a great group, but I just don't see the vision some have of
Antoine Walker. Walker is an All Star, he just hasn't been able to settle
in with a decent team yet. Last season we had a shaky start before Anderson
came. In my opinion we asked too much of Billups, he needs time. Walker
carried this team last season, with some help from Mercer and a few others.
Put Walker on most better teams and he's an All Star every year!!
