Walker wants out: With the Wolves in a youth movement, forward Antoine Walker's agent said he has talked to the team about a trade or buyout of the 12-year veteran's contract."Antoine's a heck of a player," agent Mark Bartelstein said. "He wants to play. I wouldn't say anything is imminent, but we're talking to the Wolves and we'll see if we can work something out."
Antoine Walker's agent said he has talked to the Wolves "a bunch" about finding a solution for a former All Star who has one year (at $9.3 million) remaining on his contract and presumably no prospects of playing much on such a young team. Walker did not play the final 30 games last season."We're working on it," said agent Mark Bartelstein, who said both a trade and contract buyout remain options. "Antoine's in great shape and he wants to play. Antoine needs to be in a place where he can do what he does. We'll look at everything and see what makes the most sense for everyone."
so his agent says he's a heck of a player.shocking. i hope he catches on somewhere, he's a good guy. just hope its not as our 5th forward heh.

The Mets found that out the hard way...or the FAT way.
Who?Kenny Walker?Samaki Walker?Maybe Chet or Jimmy? Who?
i rather have Antoine Walker on the roster than Sam Cassell
I doubt Walker goes anywhere. His expiring contract / team option is much too valuable to just waste. The Twolves could you his deal to bring in a legit player, although I'm guessing their ownership will be too cheap to do so.
