Are you going to play him? Cut him? Anything?

I doubt Walker sees one second of playing time unless the Grizz suffer some injuries in the frontcourt - and even then, my gut says the Grizz would probably just try to play small ball. As for a buyout, who knows what the front office is thinking, they could be holding onto him as a trade chip near the deadline (he's essentially an expiring).

jefe's right - if the Grizz buy him out, then he no longer has the possibility of being traded. The only chance he may get bought out would be after the trade deadline passes.

The Grizz beat writer said he is out of shape and nothing more than an expiring contract.

Even money they keep him until the trade deadline where they either trade him or waive him.

Hes not really messing anything up and he wouldn't really bring anything to the team.

Like jefe said, I doubt he gets any playing time unless there is a series of injuries to the team. Even then, they only have 14 players on the roster. I wouldn't be the least bit suprised to see them sign someone and he gets playing time before Walker does.

I heard he was caught, stuffed and cooked for Thanksgiving as the world's largest turkey. :D
