I would take Walker back, but if that's not consensus, we need to understand that a GOOD, wart-free max level player isn't coming back. It's either continue to underachieve with KP, take someone like Walker (if you're lucky) or dump KP for savings, just like NY did. The move was a failure. Good thought, and I would've jumped on it. I don't blame the MBT a bit, but OMG continuing down this road seems insane to me.
I am not arguing that you might be on to some scenario where Kemba overachieves with the Mavs. I think some questioned Chris Pauls age and longevity...he has proved the doubters wrong. Paul is a different level than Walker no doubt. You could be very right that Kemba comes to the Maves and provides 2 years of secondary play making that the Mavs need.
But...does a Front Office take that risk on a player of his age, size, injury history and overall game?
Im in the camp of get someone injury free and younger. Your suggestion of getting a gray beard that fits a need for this team might end up being the choice that might reap the best rewards....but does an organization take this risk?
