Default RE:Antoine Walker --- Employee #8

The Rockets defintely need a PF and are the most two-man reliant team in the league (take away the top two players from every ballclub and Houston is in the gutter) so while AW is nobody's favorite player, it might be a fit. Toine is only going to have a limited number of touches in a JVG system and best believe he won't get more touches then Yao or Tracy. If he can become a third banana (and only a third banana) for them, it's a solid move. Depending on what other moves they make, it could help them play TMac in the backcourt, which is where he ought to be.

AW or not, they could use a truly nasty rebounder/defender in a Reggie Evans/Kelvin Cato mold though.
