This is what Toine has been saying all along.  He really hasn't had the
horses to go along with him and now he has a few more capable weapons.  I
think most pro players in any sport want to play for a championship and
willingly make the necessary sacrifices to at least get there.  I believe
it's obvious that Antoine does not want to be viewed as a Barry Bonds-type
player.  One who has HOF stats but no ring to show that his team, for at
least one year, was the best.  He is genuine when he says that he will do
whatever it takes from him to help this team get into the playoffs where
anything can happen.
