Wow he still plays in the NBA?

I remember watching the Celtics a few times while the NHL lockout was on (I think), and Walker looked slow as molasses out there. But, as long as Minnesota, Seattle and Portland have bad years, I'm happy 'cause the Jazz should make the playoffs again this year.

I don't think Ricky Davis and DWade will co-exist. Davis will want more playing time and the ball more which DWade won't like. Davis is trouble and I hope Shaq put him aside and tell him, "hey punk, Batman and Robin are the boss here so don't mess with us!"

Wade and Shaq miss so many games that Davis should have plenty of games in which he can be the man. Plus with Riley, Shaq and Mourning there I think they will be better equipped to handle Davis.

I am not saying it will work out but if it ever is going to work for Davis it seem that this team is where he might actually be a decent teammate.

I heard there was quite a bit of turmoil between Coach Riley and Walker cause of Walker's poor off-season conditioning habits. That probably played a big part in the trade.

Yup. I think Wade is supposed to be out until the end of Nov. With those two guys having a championship together in Miami and being large personalities, I think Ricki Davis' ego will be subdued... I mean Shaq could always pick him up and shake him if he doesnt cooperate.

It's an upgrade because Employee #8 is brutal, lazy and overweight. Davis is quick and will really open up the floor for Wade/Shaq and take some of the outside pressure off of Wade.

Good thing DeShawn Stevenson doesn't play for Miami. Someone had to bring it up so here it is..
