What would be accomplished with trading away Antoine for Robinson since
Robinson's salary is ridiculous as well, and he will be 33 years old in
August and he would probably drop dead playing Pitino Ball. The C's
IMHO would be a worse team with Robinson than with Antoine, (who will be
only 21 years old) and the 3 headed center at this time.
As far as Geiger his salary demands make him a joke.

Did you notice Antoine's play when Kenny was healthy or were you just
not paying that much attention to Walker because he is too flashy for
you.
