Mavs/Celts trade

I think it helps the Celtics more than the Mavs. I have never been shy about my feelings of Antoine Walker, I feel he is the most overrated player in the league. He forces shots, isn't that great of a shooter to begin with, and pouts when things don't go his way. He has been known to be lazy when he isn't getting the ball as well. He scores because of sheer volume of shots, nothing more. How will that attitude fit in with Dallas, who doesn't have enough balls to go around as it is? Walker will get the fast pace style he wants, the freedom to keep throwing up shots, but Novitski, Finley, Nash, etc all shoot better. I don't think he can accept being the 4th option. Yeah, he led Boston in assists the last two years, but throwing the ball to Pierce isn't that difficult. If he doesn't check his attitude at the door, this could be a bad move for the Mavs, who become very soft in the middle with this move. The Celtics unload a gunner and get a center who can shoot outside, perfect for the style of offense Ainge's is looking for. Lots of pick and rolls with Pierce and LaFrentz.
