Again, OP, you and I agree. I like what Jamison brings to this team. I don't want to move him out just because this team is fundamentally flawed. I believe that the desired result that we want can be acheived in the right kind of Antoine Walker trade. We'll see...

At this point, I see no way Walker returns next season. I didn't before this latest outburst, but now his fate has been sealed, in my mind. I think if Walker goes All-Word in the playoffs, then it just means his trade value is higher...He's gone though...

The Jamison to Charlotte deal makes some sense for Charlotte, but I can't help but think that this won't happen. As the article mentioned, that's a lot of coin tied up in one guy who has already proven to be unworthy of being a foundational piece. Jamison is best in a system where he allowed to be a "super" role player who is able to get you 20 every night with ease. With Charlotte's hesitation to take on that salary (I suppose), and the Mavs desire to win now (and not wait on a rookie) and not completely blow up the team again, I find this deal a little hard to believe AT THIS POINT. Sure, it makes some sense and may be revisited at a later time, but there are a lot of things up in the air to get too worked up about this right now.
