Antoine Walker(notes) hasn't played in the NBA since he played two preseason games for the Memphis Grizzlies in 2008.

Now the 34-year-old is trying to make an NBA comeback. ESPN reports that he's set his sites on the Charlotte Bobcats since that is where a college friend and former Kentucky teammate, center Nazr Mohammed(notes), is hosting Walker so he can get into some daily Bobcats pickup games before the start of training camp at the end of the month. Walker is apparently hoping the team will extend an invite to him.

MJ could sign him as the 12th or 13th man off the bench. Give him the league minimum, help him get back on his feet.

Exactly. I'm not sure why people are bugging over this. It's not like we'd drop a huge contract on him, or even start him. He'd give us a veteran presence off the bench, and who knows? Maybe he'll get a little bit of his game back from working hard on it.

I don't guess we need him, but it's not like this would be the worst move in the world. Not even close.

      Bryce Young vs Saints analysis

      By d-dave · Posted

      I've watched and listened to several evaluations from the good ole youtubers.  From what I was able to watch, the first few drives before I left to do a job to the end of the game were very different for Bryce.  So he had a "good" game.  Which is great.  I love a win, period.  His WRs had some drops, thing ripped away, etc.  Not great, but a W is a W, right? I think the Panthers have to start Bryce.  You have to see if he continues to build on the good plays and make fewer and fewer bad plays.  No QB is going to play a perfect game.  But we need to continue to see Bryce make plays.  Does he have the ability to will his team to victory?  I'm not sure. I'm still in the Bryce is a backup QB camp.  I'm glad he had a good game, I glad we won, but I need to see more before we make a decision to keep or trade him.  Playing Andy literally does NOTHING to help you for the future.  Andy may not even resign with the Panthers.  We could be out both starting QBs by the time FA/Draft season hits. Ultimately, this is a Dan Morgan and Dave Canales issue.  Can they get value out of Bryce to help them improve the total roster?  Is there a FA QB who would be an upgrade?  A surprise cut or post season trade?  Or is there a QB at the top of the draft who they think they can mold into a high level starting QB?  I don't know. I do know I want to see more of Bryce Young and more out of him on the field.  I want to see the fire, the competitor come out.  I want him getting pissed.  I want him to grab his beanbag and tell us all he's the f'ing dude.  I just don't think we'll see that out of Bryce.  If not the fire, then let me see the ice - let me see the rattle proof dude who kills with accuracy and playmaking no matter how hot and crazy it gets.
