This is a relief. I'm sure he'll enjoy his one year in Atlanta and then head elsewhere.

ANTOINE HEADING TO HAWKS


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


August 3, 2004 --

Call it win one, lose one for the Knicks.

While Jamal Crawford is expected to join the Knicks as soon as today in a trade with the Bulls, it looks like Isiah Thomas will lose out on another piece he'd hope to bring to the Garden — Antoine Walker.

That's because Walker will be traded tomorrow from the Mavs to the Hawks for Jason Terry and Alan Henderson, a league source revealed.

Walker, a forward, never really fit in during his one year with the Mavs, and was hoping for a deal to either the Sixers (where he'd have been reunited with ex-Celtic coach Jim O'Brien) or the Knicks.

Walker is owed $14.625M in the final year of his contract. Terry, a guard, has $7.5M and $6.6M left over two years, while Henderson, an injury-prone forward, is owed $8.2M for one year.


—Peter Vecsey


Antoine not coming to the Knicks

This is Vecsey's article. I have learned to not take any of his rumors seriously.

how do you know the Hawks won't end up trading him to NY at the trade deadline? that's very possible.

& yes, i know you don't want him & think he's a selfish player...let's not get into that debate again.

You're right, that is possible. I hope not. That would mean getting him for a couple of months and deciding whether or not to resign him based on those two months of play.

I was about to say that Walker's expiring salary would save us a good $15 million, but then I realized we'd still be around $38 million over it. :laugh:

Exactly. If the Knicks were close to the cap amount, I'd love to take expiring contracts and finally rebuild. However, they are so far over it that letting one player walk, leaving them still way over the cap, actually hurts them more than helps them since they wouldn't be able to replace that player with one of the same or higher caliber.
