It looks like the shimmy has found yet another home:
Apparently Antoine Walker needs the cash pretty badly — after not landing an NBA gig he has taken a physical and signed to play with Guaynabo in Puerto Rico. Former Bull (and Buck and Hornet) Marcus Fizer will join him.
Walker has been out of the game for more than a year (remember his season in Minnesota in 2008? Don’t worry, nobody does). Still he hoped to find an NBA gig but not even the Wizards have been willing to pick him up. Come to think of it, he may not have been the best fit for that locker room right now — remember he was arrested last year for writing $1 million in bad checks to Vegas casinos.
Hey, when you need the cash, you need the cash. Even though Walker’s old and far beyond washed up, you have to think he’d be dominant in a Puerto Rican league, right? Isn’t all the good competition in Europe? It can’t be that tough in Puerto Rico. Walker can launch 10 threes a game (and connect on two of them) and nobody’s going to say shit. Dude must be living the dream right now: ill-advised shots with no repercussions, short-armed floaters in the lane that hit front rim, and no defense whatsoever.

You think is that the league is that bad?
First game: 17pts, 10 reb
Second game: 13, 11 reb
Every enforcer that comes here, “think this is a small island, got to be easy”. Ask Fizer, A. Walker, Tractor, Pittsnogle, Pinnock, Oliver Miller, Tony Delk, Matt Freije, Marcus Williams, Dan Langhi, most of them had been in NBA. Non of them has had espectacular numbers.
