Former Boston Celtics All-Star Antoine Walker faces three felony counts of writing $1 million in bad checks to three Sin City casinos, according to a report in yesterday’s Las Vegas Sun. The 32-year-old forward, who played in 2008 for the Minnesota Timberwolves, won an NBA title with Miami in 2006. Before that season, ’Toine was traded to the Heat from the Celts, the team that drafted him in 1996.No. 8 is accused of writing 10 bad checks worth a total of $1 million to three casinos: Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood and Red Rock Resort, reported the Sun. Under Nevada law, gambling debts are handled as bad check cases. Prosecutors said Walker, who ran up the debts from last July to January, repaid $178,000. But he still faces criminal charges for the remaining $822,500 - not to mention the $82,500 in fees the district attorney’s office’s wants.

With the Big Baby situation looking more and more dire, why not offer 'toine the Vet Min with half upfront? Antoine could pay off his gambling debts, or even better, just double down on the C's to win it all (currently 9/2). The Celtics would then enhance their quest for acquiring the entire 2002 NBA All Star Team, as well as having the worst three point shooter in NBA history (with at least 4,000 attempts) coming off the bench at the four spot. Not to mention the dance moves. Win-Win-Win.
