Riley back tracked the comments but NO ONE even mentions that.

Old friend Ira "eating his words as we speak" Winderman says Pat Riley is fed up with Antoine Walker's lack of conditioning. Apparently, our old friend showed up at camp at 263 pounds.
"It's beyond irritating," Riley said before his team faced Atlanta in an exhibition at AmericanAirlines Arena. "I'm beyond being irritated. I was irritated the first year when I signed him. I was really irritated last year. I'm beyond irritated. I don't have time to be irritated."
I guess he's irritated. But there's more, apparently Toine won't be ready until January in Riley's book.
"Antoine is a long ways away from making his conditioning goal," Riley said. "He'll probably make it by January, if he makes it. Probably. It'd probably take that long, because you can't lose five percent in a month, two weeks."
