DALLAS (AP) -- The Dallas Mavericks acquired three-time All-Star forward Antoine Walker from the Boston Celtics in a five-player deal Monday morning.
Dallas is sending Raef LaFrentz, who signed a $69 million, five-year deal before last season, to the Celtics along with Jiri Welsch and Chris Mills, players the Mavericks got in an offseason trade that also brought Antawn Jamison from Golden State. Boston also will get Dallas' first-round pick in 2004.
The Mavericks will also get guard Tony Delk from Boston.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban confirmed the deal to The Associated Press, saying it was pending league approval.
The trade was first reported by the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on their web sites Monday morning.
Walker, who averaged 17.3 points and 8.7 rebounds last season, will split time with All-Star Dirk Nowitzki and Jamison. The Mavericks also have Eduardo Najera at forward.
Delk, a part-time starter for the Celtics, will give the Mavericks more depth at point guard behind All-Star Steve Nash and Travis Best, another offseason acquisition.

antoine walker = trade bait!!
walker? geesh di ako bilib dito bato mga tira nito eh:)
:hiphop:
now if only they can figure how to ship toine & 'tawn for shaq :glee:
hehehe!
:cool:
Para kay LaFrentz, fresh start ito sa Boston. Nung matrade siya sa Dallas malaki ang expectation sa kanya sa Center spot at hindi siya nagdeliver.

:bookworm2:
walker is a good addition wag lang kumana yung ego nito and besides mukhang masaya naman siya na napunta siya sa mavs..
jamison will be the sixth man so ok na rin..

ok to!! :nuts:
ok sana yun trade kung ang nakuha nila mas pam-bardagul kay lafrentz! kailangan nila yun tipong parang Rudy Distrito yun laro pero hindi mahilig umiskor!!
they definitely got a good player in Walker, but i personally think they could have opted for a better player than Walker.. owel. tingnan na lang natin ang kalalabasan ng trade na to. :?:
