"Walker has said he would like to be traded this summer to a team for whom he could play significant minutes."

If he could not get playing time in lowly Minnesota, where would he get one? D-League?

I think if a player want's a buyout, have them agree to leave the rest of their money on the table and let them walk away.

Ya, money talks. Significant minutes means 10, 20, 25 minutes? I don't know.

Beggars can't be choosers, either pick a contender or pick the cash

If he doesn't get bought out, they could trade him as an expiring contract.

Why is this even a story? Walker is washed up. He got traded from Miami(who sucks) and can't get any minutes on one of the worst teams in the league. I understand that Minny is trying to develop younger players, but this guy is washed up. The only reason anyone would trade for him is his expiring contract.

If he wants out, accept a buyout for $1

What else is new?

Take him to McDonald's dollar menu and call it even.

There should be a huge market for an overweight, out of shape past-his-prime power forward who likes to crank up ill-advised 3's......... I bet his agent's phone is ringing off the hook

Who does Walker think he still is, anyway?

Dude- who do you think you are?
you are not even in the top 100 best players in the league

Maybe if you play harder- check that-
maybe if you played defense AT ALL, your team would be better
and you wouldn't be whining about losing

who doesn't want out of minnehaha???

Why am I not surprised that Walker can't get the job done and wants to leave so he can run away from the problem instead of being part of the solution? Why am I not surprised?

If he could get away from the buffet tables and get his fat butt in shape, he would probably find a home. Nobody wants an aging big that won't play defense, and never saw a shot he didn't like. With the contract he has, he should be happy to still be in the league.

i lay the blame on the wolves here. why on earth would a rebuilding team add a guy like antoine walker? so they can teach the kids the wrong way to play the game? minnesota t-wolves arguably have the worst front office in professional sports.

minnesota wants walker out of minnesota too. glad we're all on same page.

WASTE OF TALENT!!! the problem was early on in his career Walker got it into his mind that he could just stand behind the arc and chuck up 3's... never developed that low post game and forget about playing defense... he needs to just accept a small buyout and get back into shape
