Like Miami, New York must be grinning at the prospect of grabbing a former Celtic.<\/p>\n<p>Walker won\u2019t last as an unclaimed commodity for long. He\u2019s a proven bucket-getter in the NBA. The question is, will Los Angeles, Miami, or New York go all-in on Walker, or will the scoring machine light it up in another city this season?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miami Heat want to get back to the NBA Finals this season, and the main barrier standing in their way is the Boston Celtics.
