Attention List Members (Was Re: Walker Haters)
Since there were no restrictions given in terms of attitude, age,
behavior, etc. in regards to the players being of equal or greater value
than Antoine, the one's I named are all valid. I forgot about
Coleman and Mason, or I would have added them to the list. Since
Pitino's willing to deal Antoine for Brian Grant, he apparently doesn't
concur with the list members' evaluation of Antoine's skills.

PS: Antoine is gone people, accept it - embrace the fact - or continue
in denial.
