look, I dont want to go off on every detail about how I feel about Walker....

here are a few problems I have:

FT% .529
3P% .294
FG% .428
- Hogs the ball
- Shoots too many 3's (most avg/game then any other mav)
- forces too many shots when there are 3 guys all over him and there are wide open players behind him (not smart)
- most of his shots are bricks
- takes shots away from Dirk
- gets fouls or turns the ball over at the worst times

I understand he has toned down with his shots, but there is a reason for that...think about it! ( he is MISSING alot!).....I just think his value is not necessarily what we need....we "NEED" a center who can provide better defense, ability to shot block, pick up some rebounds, and be able to pass out of the low post once in a while...sorry, but I just think Walker would be a better fit somewhere else...there was a reason why we did better last year at this point...we had better chemistry and better role players....
