Free agent Walker draws Heat's interest

Walker will not go there, he thinks he is a lot better than he really is. This guy thinks he is worth 10-15 mil a year and at 28 he is too young to play for less money to pursue a le. He will go elsewhere for bigger money than the heat can afford.

If Walker went to the heat to play SF and Wade was moved to PG would that make them #1?

Did I miss something in the last week? They do know having a good point guard is important, right?

He has cut his 3 point attempts this last year but him able to hit 3's will give Shaq more room to dominate like he used to do with Horry as power forward. The spacing is important.

Shaq doesn't need space. He just elbows and pushes everybody in his way. He knows that the refs won't call a foul on him. They don't call 3 seconds on him, even though he spends the whole shot clock in the paint. Why would they call an offensive?

Heat's Riley meets with Antoine Walker

Associated Press


MIAMI - Free-agent forward Antoine Walker met this week with Miami Heat president Pat Riley, and while no contract offer was made, conversations are ongoing, Walker's agent said Friday.

"It was a chance for them to spend some time together," agent Mark Bartelstein said. "They had never really spoken at length. They had a really good meeting."

Bartelstein said there's mutual interest. He declined to discuss the likely timetable for a deal or what might come next.

"We're looking at a lot of different things," Bartelstein said. "There are a lot of moving parts to this."

Walker, a three-time All-Star, has been a starter each of his nine NBA seasons. He has career averages of 19.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game and played last season for Atlanta and Boston.

Do the Heat mic their rims like Phoenix does? Because if they sign Walker their going to find out just how loud a "CLANK!" can be. Space the floor my ass. This guy will shoot every shot he can take and shoot the Heat in the foot in the process. Besides, maybe they need to wake and smell the damn coffee that a good PG would be a worthwhile investment if they want to win a championship.
