You are right on target about everything you stated. I could never
understand why some people on this list are so much in love with
Robinson. Right now he is not even the go to guy on his own team and I
believe the Spurs would salivate and drool if the C's were stupid enough
to trade Antoine for him. I am sure Pitino would say thanks but no
thanks.
