ESPN Insider reports that Chicago and Boston had a trade in the works before Jay’s accident that would have included the following:

To Boston: Jay Williams, Donyell Marshall, and Marcus Fizer

To Chicago: Antoine Walker

I have a hard time believing this proposed deal was legit, but thank goodness it didn’t happen! Not only would the Bulls be vastly overpaying for Walker’s services, but he would not be a good fit on this team. We already have a guy who likes to hoist up erratic shots, and his name is Jalen Rose. I’ve NEVER been a fan of Walker’s game, so I’m glad to see that such a deal never happened. And if these talks were for real, I would certainly hope that GM John Paxson wouldn’t seriously consider overpaying like that. That would concern me.
