Traded after one season in Dallas, Hawks forward Antoine Walker doesn't want to move again. He hopes the Hawks will sign him once he becomes a free agent at the end of the season.

"Guys can always say they want to get traded," said Walker, the Hawks' leading scorer and rebounder who is earning $14.625 million this season, "but it's tough to keep moving and get to know a new system, new plays. It gets mentally draining, so hopefully I can stay here for a while if we can get things in the right direction.

VERY INTERESTING!

And you're right about getting his act together. He better start BUSTING HIS ASS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE COURT if he wants to be a part of the future here. But hey, isn't this the first time that a player actually WANTS to come back to the Hawks? WOW!

I think he just added that to make it sound like he doesn't want to play for a losing team.
