folks, there's no ref conspiracy against antoine.
sure, they hate him. sure it colors their calls. he's
earned it by being such a jerk. can he turn his
relationship around? yes, but not in a day or a week.
it will take years. is he willing? i doubt it. 

that said, i've always been on the fence about trading
him. he's still young, and if surrounded by the right
talent, could be a solid contributor on a championship
team. however, unless we pull some rabbits out of the
hat in this draft, we may never be able to surround
him with enough talent to make his game subservient to
the team. 

in any case, i'd take chandler and crawford for him in
a heartbeat. chandler will be special as he matures.
crawford will be a solid combo/point for years.
