And honestly, I do think some (not all, he's vastly underrated here) of the shine has worn off of him since, so I'm not calling him a prize acquisition, exactly, but we're talking about possible returns for a MAX player who misses a lot of games and doesn't play all that well when he's healthy. I don't know that anything good is a realistic trade goal. You think differently?
I don't have anything better, but trading a 7'4" starter for a 6'0" starter who would take the ball from your best player's hands doesn't seem like a productive direction. I'd prefer trading size for size, or at least making sure any KP moves doesn't leave a hole in the rotation.
Also, Walker feels a little like "Rondo Part Deux". Aging, head case, point guard who BOS wants to unload.
