Pat Riley Taking Antoine Walker's Plate Away

General Manager move of the year!

Okay it is not a done deal yet, but reports are out today that the Heat are dealing Antoine Walker and others to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Ricky Davis and Mark Blount.
*Update: Done Deal*


He did what I thought was the impossible, trade off the contract of Walker. I may have already been a fan of Pat Riley before this because of the Showtime Lakers, but he has just elevated himself further in my book.

How do you get a team to take this unmotivated, overpaid basketball player? Riley had called this guy out in the media for being out of shape a month ago, and now he found a taker. Genius.

I know it is not the a groundbreaking deal, or one that has glitz and glam to it. But the fact that the Miami Heat is on the verge of getting rid of Walker is godly.
