Yes Walker didn't play well neither but at least he delivered when needed mostRicky is nothing like Walker in that department
The situation the Heat are in isn't due to Ricky. Shaq has started to decline drastically and the departure of Posey and Kapono has hurt the team with the lack of three point shooting to spread the floor. It doesn't help that rookies and undrafted players are playing more minutes than they should.
The team's fall from the top is due to Riley's failure to bring in the necessary help to surround Wade and Shaq as well as Arison for wanting the Heat to avoid the luxury tax.
I'm sorry, but the claim the Heat are worse with Ricky than they were with Walker as evidence that Walker is better than Ricky is ridiculous. Although, Walker in his prime with the Celtics was superior to any of Ricky's best seasons.
I'm not a Ricky Davis fan, and I wish the trade hadn't taken place due to Blount's contract. However, I'm not going to give Walker's title of the most inefficient worst decision maker in the NBA to a player who doesn't deserve it. Although, if Smush had played more games and had a contract worth 10 million he would be a lock to take that title away from Walker.
As for how anyone could actually be a fan of Walker unless he was a former Celtics fan really puzzles me, which makes me wonder if you're mightytoine.
The Heat are going to the lottery this season, and Walker shooting threes and doing the shimmy would have provided comedic relief. But, it seems Luke is picking off right where Walker left off. And to think Luke is actually considered a pure shooter, but is shooting with less efficiency than Walker.
