Re: Michael Holley: Antoine Says He's Happy To Be A Celtic For The Next Seven Years

["Jim Meninno" <jim_meninno@hotmail.com>]

This is one of the best quotes I've heard in ages.  It's great to hear 
Antoine talking like this (whether he means it or not).  I'm sure all of 
the quotes from last year were just negotiating strategies.  I suppose 
this is too.  He only needs to convince the Cs that he's their franchise 
player, and he will get a maximum offer.  I go along with the sentiment 
that has been expressed on the list that Antoine is a great competitor 
that loves the game.  I also love that this agreement makes it possible 
to keep him.  It's only too bad it didn't happen two years ago so that 
Antoine and Ron, as will as Pierce, had five year rookie deals.
