'Toine is Coming Back to the NBA!

Hey! Celticsblog just quoted a twitter from Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated that Antoine is "talking" to 4 teams (I assume NBA teams but what the heck do I know?) and Antoine will be in camp next week.

Whoops! Forget the link...

I bet lots of folks on this board will either love if if the guy comes back to the Celtics and lots of others will want to tar and feather DA if he does sign up the 'Toine...

Discuss and please... no finger pointing or eye rolling...

I'll believe it when I see the official announcement released by a team. Anything other than that is an agent doing his job.

He needs the $ to pay them off, that's why he's coming back to the NBA.

Before someone says it, no, we aren't one of those four teams. He's not coming here. We have no need or use for him, at all.

Who cares. He is washed up.

You mean he WANTS to come back to the NBA. I'm sure Vin Baker WANTS to come back too. Walker , a few months back was on a reality TV show PROs Vs. Joes and he looked terrible, even more slow and unathletic than he was, playing against guys off of the street.
The notion of bringing anyone back to the NBA who hasn't played in a while has to include the thought that the player (i.e Reggie Miller) pays some attention to conditioning. Someone may bring him in and in the best case scenario he gets the minimum.

I can and have. And I am not grabbing hold again, not without a serious diminishing of my mental faculties.

Live in the now. He hasn't been good in close to a decade.

No, I'm pretty certain our title hopes are not contingent on the signing of Antoine Walker.
