I know he is talented but there are reasons why this guy has been traded this much. Other than being a bad defender what are some of the other reasons he has been dealt so much?
Miami ultimately comes down to Shaq and Wade. How good is Wade gonna be with another year? How much worse will Shaq be with another year? It's like converging parabola.
The question is if Walker and Williams will get in the way. I'm less concerned about Williams - he'll be fine - but how destructive to team play will Antoine Walker be?

No, its "fade into bolivian!!"
Interesting. JWill will speed up their offense, but in the past had problems with turnovers and his outside shot. Walker has talent, but like the other posters said, he is a ball hog whose shot selection leaves a lot to be desired. That is not to mention all the off the court goodies (ie at ude problems) that he brings. He has the ability to post up. However, in general he plays smaller than he is. What happens to team chemistry?
I am not sure that I would have made any major moves this offseason given that if Shaq and Wade were healthy Miami would have beaten Detroit and would have been a tough out in the Finals.
This could go either way. They added talent which has up to this point never been realized.
Also, Damon and Eddie Jones did not have great series against Detroit. Neither one is that great at creating their own shot. Certainly, Walker can do that. Jason Williams can help them get easy transition buckets.
They could possibly get much better if Walker stops jacking up shots and acting like the black hole and chills on his at ude and if JWill takes care of the ball and can hit an outside shot every once in a while. If not, this will turn out to be a mistake.
Wait and See on whether they will regret this one.
Wow 13 players and all the Jazz could get out of it was Greg Ostertag who IMO is the NBA equvilent to a fart joke. Honestly why is he still in the league?
Did the Heat really want Walker or was he just part of the shuffle of swapping 13 players around five teams? I can understand why they would want JWill (upgrade at PG if they can keep his 3's to a minimum) and Posey (just as good as Jones when healthy and he's younger), but Walker really throws me for a loop. He's one of those players who the teams that pick him up have high hopes for and then can wait to get rid of his ass when the season ends. I could see this trade taking the Heat straight to the top or right out the window.
I don't understand why so many people think JWill is such an improvement over Damon Jones. Jones was actually pretty great for the Heat last year. In the games I watched, he usually shot a high percentage of 3's, had limited turnovers, and managed to bring the ball up court. Sure he didn't get the flashy assists, but a lot of times, D Wade brought the ball up the court also. JWill may be a little faster than Jones, but overall, he is not much of an improvement.
Eddie Jones...that was their 3rd leading scorer and best perimeter defender. Why would they trade him away for Walker...who will be a bench player and Posy...who is coming off a serious foot injury? That's a big risk to take. Plus, once again, they are trading away their second best 3 point shooter on the team.
Heat's bench may have just gotten better, but I think they ended up downgrading their starting lineup.
Actually it's oblivion,
I wasn't gonna correct him, but since you started it.
