Summary: 

For ten minutes a game, Walton can still be the best center in basketball;
and ten minutes is exactly what the Celtics need out of a back up center.
No longer will McHale have to play undersized center when Parish needs a
rest or is in foul trouble.

As far as the deal from the Clippers point of view...who can say what the
Clippers need.  They seem to have a reasonable starting lineup.  The trade
can't hurt the Clippers all that much because ten minutes a game was not
all they needed.  It does seem that they could have received a little more
in return for Walton.  They should have taken a chance on a younger player
with potential rather than an older player with a certain future.
