Non fumo la pipa e non sono Maigret...

...ma il comunicato dei Memphis Grizzlies sul recente TAGLIO di Antonie Walker non convince molto:

The Memphis Grizzlies waived forward Antoine Walker, club General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced today.
The 6-9, 245-pound forward did not appear in a game with the Grizzlies this season after he was acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves on June 26, 2008 along with the draft rights to guard O.J. Mayo and guards Greg Buckner and Marko Jaric in exchange for the draft rights to forward Kevin Love, swingman Mike Miller, forward Brian Cardinal and center Jason Collins.
Antoine Walker was a true professional during his time in Memphis,” said Wallace. “We wish him all the best in his effort to find another team where he can receive more playing time."


Forse Walker è 6-9 in larghezza e 245 pound proprio no!!! Professionista esemplare non lo era quando giocava l'All-Star Game, figurarsi ora che ha visto la sua carriera andare a sud come un porzione di pollo fritto girato nel miele.
