lucky Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I'm going to have to change my avatar. That's the final straw Danny Ainge!!!! Yeah do that. Do exactly THAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Why not be more specific if you're going to start a thread like this. Here's the ESPN Article.Personally, I can't believe this. What's Walker to think about Ainge now? Poor Gary Payton too, he has to play for the Hawks.

HappyBrownie13 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 employee number 8 probably wont be employee number 8, that's rookie Al Jefferson's jersey number. when you're replacing an old Carr, you need more than Les Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Walker will be #8. All he has to do is throw a little bling at the rook and it's all good.

Joshawaggie Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 what does this trade accomplish? @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 what does this trade accomplish? Easy -- makes the Celtics better, in my opinion. For the Hawks? No idea what they were trying to do, here.The Celtics were once in the conference finals in 2001-02 with Antoine Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I think this is a good deal all they gave up was Gary Payton who is washed up. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyBrownie13 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I have no idea why Atlanta did this! It's pretty much just charity to Boston, as they come out with the exact same result they would've gotten had the just kept 'Toine, capwise. It's essentially trading Walker for a 1st Rd. Draft pick...but I think the Hawks could've gotten a little bit more had they made the effort when you're replacing an old Carr, you need more than Les Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 The Hawks are a team that right now trully looks like it has no direction and no hope for the future. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I think this is a good deal all they gave up was Gary Payton who is washed up. He could still be a dominant force if he actually had a consistent team to play for.

shiznit1083 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I am thrilled to have toine back. He's an immediate low post presence as well as a key locker room guy.Rumor has it that the Hawks are going to release Payton and he will resign with the Celtics. Payton is definitley not washed up. Still has his suick step to the basket, great court vision, is and excellent leader. I would love to have him back, but I am thrilled to have Antoine back home.

amare32 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I'll acknowledge his role in beating my Suns (sans Steve Nash and w/ Black Jesus in foul trouble). But damn, I hate Walker's game. His talent is undeniable. He just has no discipline when it comes to shot selection. Jacking up threes at an obscene rate w/ horrible accuracy is about as stupid an approach to basketball as I can imagine. And there's no excuse for a professional basketball player -- especially one who's not in the Shaquillean behemoth or Big Ben-ite defensive-specialist categories -- to shoot below 60% from the stripe. Terrible.BTW, he wore No. 88 tonight. Compliments to Albert Belle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznit1083 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Number 88 looked real weird on a Basketball uniform. You're not kidding. It looks like one of thos goofy ebay fakes. I wonder what he does next year if they resign him. I'm sure he can buy the number out from Big Al Jefferson. There is an NBA rule that doesnt allow players to change numbers in the middle of the season, hence the 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an NBA rule that doesnt allow players to change numbers in the middle of the season, hence the 88. Actually, you have to petition the league prior to Feb. 1st to request a change prior to next season.The Sixers received a waiver in order to have Andre Iguadala switch from 4 to 9 so Chris Webber could have #4.It's funny the same league that wouldn't grant a waiver for Jordan's request to switch from 45 to 23 after his first comeback (he was fined for wearing 23) would grant it for Webber.
