THE RETURN OF ANTOINE WALKER ------- by Steve Nadis
I had not planned to get into this, as it just didn't seem important enough. "Not on my radar," as they say. But I've felt a lot of pressure throughout the course of the day to comment on the "Toine situation"--Toine being Antoine Walker, the newest (as well as oldest) member of the Boston Celtics, who rejoined the team last night, after having made the rounds in the NBA. Why give up their best point guard, Gary Payton, for a power forward, when the team desperately needs an experienced point guard? That question is better addressed to Danny Ainge, the Celts' cryptic general manager. As for me, I have no answers, which is why I had been inclined not to comment on this truly curious move. I only did so under duress--bowing, as it were, to peer pressure--and am now starting to regret the whole thing.
