That game may be Walker's path to another team, but after unsucce sful stints in Dallas and New York, it's going to be harder and harder for him to find a spot on a roster.

But Walker is a former All-Star, and perhaps more importantly, a highly respected veteran that would be a great fit in a younger locker room. He may not have many 32-point games left Ed Davis Jersey in his career, but if nothing else, he could likely still find a place in the league on a younger team hoping he can help guide their newcomers.
