The Minnesota Celtics (Timberwolves) completed a deal to send a pair of former Celtics to Miami Heat in exchange for another former Celtic.
Rick Alonzo of the St. Paul Pioneer Press is reporting that the Timberwolves have traded Ricky Davis and Mark Blount to the Miami Heat and will receive Antoine Walker, Michael Doleac, Wayne Simien and a conditional first-round pick.
Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley criticized Walker publicly earlier this preseason for his poor conditioning.
The Celtics traded Davis and Blount to the Timberwolves in January of 2006 in the trade that brought Wally Szczerbiak, Michael Olowokandi and Dwyane Jones to Boston.
Walker landed with the Heat in August of 2005 after his second stint with the Celtics. He was part of a sign-and-trade deal involving five teams.

Where to begin with Walker McHale in Minnesota as if there wasnt enough to begin with between the Timberwolves and the C's. Celtics fans will keep a close eye even more so in the daily box score on the Timberwolves. It should make for even more of a fun interesting season.
