Breaking News: Antoine Walker Bought Out

By Aron Phillips

Antoine Walker

According to The Memphis Flyer, the Memphis Grizzlies have apparently agreed to buyout Antoine Walker.

“While terms have yet to be announced, the NBA’s version of divorce papers will allow the 32-year-old veteran to become a free agent and negotiate with any of the other 29 NBA teams that might consider him valuable. For those interested in the continued rebuilding of the Griz, this development is every bit as welcome as the team’s first four-game winning streak since April 2006.”

Where can you see ’Toine landing?

   WOW..Memphis isn’t going to exercise their team option for 2 more years of ‘Toine at $10 Million each? Who knew…

   Landing? Europe? Seriously, I can’t see him playing in the NBA again. He has been completely useless for at least two years.

   My only concern is that he doesn’t come here to Atlanta. Didn’t like him the last time he was here and he’s even less of a player now.

    Scott says:

    Does this count has his retirement too? Like a double WHAMMY of Antoine Walkerness.

    But seriously, he needs to just leave the L alone. Seriously.

    This would be news if this was 2002.

    Smitty313 says:

    Damn he seems older than 32. Kobe just turned 30. If Im not mistaken they came in the L the same year and The Shimmy is already washed up.

    Europe is probably his best option for money i think. I cant really think of any NBA team that could use him. In any way. At all. Seriously.

    There’s a spot open on a city league team in a small town somewhere that’s never heard of him. They’ll pass to him all the time, he’ll be a hit there….
