Walker and Sheppard have played well recently and it kinda rubs me wrong that both aren’t getting some more run. The 4th quarter tonight the game was in hand and he could have made an appearance.
Granted Sheppard is a different position situation, but I think they could squeeze Walker in at the 3 since Siakam and Toppin are taking all the 4 minutes. Just feels like they are not playing him for an unknown reason.
Trade deadline coming up. I'm guessing they're gauging interest in a big or two. They are not gauging interest in Walker. So until then there is a benefit to playing the veterans. Hoping Walkers minutes trend up after that, with or without a trade.
I see no reason to trade walker unless someone gets crazy with an offer, he's got 3 years after this one on his rookie deal and we've barely seen him play.
That's what I was saying. You're not gauging trade interest in Walker, but you are the other players. So you need to play them, at least until the trade deadline.
