I agree, which is why I prefaced the post with I contend that Antoine Walker should be traded IF AND ONLY IF an exceptable return is to be had that IMPROVES this team. and then added I am first in line for giving time to this team to gel, but if one had to go, I would prefer it be Walker over Jamison.

Sorry for not playing along. I read your post. I guess my point was that I agree with you. They shouldn't be dealt unless the deal can improve the team. And it can't, unless the trade includes some other pieces I'm not yet aware of. Walker and Jamison, standing alone, simply won't generate equal, taller value in a trade. You might could get some mentally damaged goods like Rasheed "CTC" Wallace or physically damaged like Theo Ratliff, but there's no way you get close to even value, IMO.
However, if you held a gun to my head, I'd probably keep Walker.
