I agree Mark.... and no, I don't mean that in the incessant Snide-a-thon way. 
 I thought Antoine was improved (stats notwithstanding) this year.  I've 
mentioned before that I only catch the Cs on nationally televised games, but 
Antoine seemed to play more within himself this year.  That said, I think your 
analogy to the Stackhouse trade is a good one, and I believe that he could fetch 
someone(s) who'd fit better.  I know it was not offered up as serious trade 
fodder, but I think that Indiana is deep and talented, and yes, I think Isaiah 
Lord Thomas is a crappy coach.  Unfortunately, I don't think Donnie Walsh is a 
crappy GM, so I don't think they'd do it.  Seriously though, it could be a 
win-win for both teams.
