PROTECT THE PAINT

December 13th, 2010 Update: Antoine Walker has started his road back to the NBA and a paycheck to offset his debt and bankruptcy by playing with the Dakota Wizards of the NBA Developmental League. He has been somewhat effective while shaking off the cobwebs in his game, but it remains to be seen if he will be offered a 10-day contract once players are eligible to be added. As it stands, Walker has earned more money playing in a single NBA game then he is due to earn playing an entire season in the NBA Developmental League

Antoine Walker’s lawyers have been working to resolve his gambling debts in the range of over $900,000 for quite some time. (Note: Walker has been able to recently postpone his trial until 2011.)

The Clarke County district attorney has issued Walker a mandate: Have a deal done by November 30^th, or go to court and face felony charges.

You mean to tell me I need to sell stuff?

The Walker story is quite strange. Is he really broke? How else can one describe a player who makes millions of bucks skipping out on a gambling debt that is minuscule comparatively to his net worth?

He could sell one or two of his lavish cars, and this could all go away.

What I find more disturbing is why Walker has not handled his business as of yet. Is parting with material objects harder to do than paying restitution of his gambling debts that will land him in prison?
