the thing that stands out to me is that I went to the C's practice in Lowell a
few weeks before the trade. Antoine didn't run one bit. He was the last one up
the court most of the time, usually because he was arguing with a ref. And THIS
in practice!!  It was obvious to me at that point that this would never work
here. I think Antoine was purposely being defiant and would have continued to
been until he was traded. He was trying to force Danny's hand. I say that
because of the way he was acting and also because of Mark Cuban's admission
that Antoine asked him to bring him to Dallas in the offseason. Antoine simply
didn't want to be here anymore and was clearly making that known.

Why - he came in with a different body type this year to be able to run more? 
Are you saying it couldnt happen because he was unwilling to or because OB
didnt want to?

By the time I got around to it, Shawn answered it. I'll add that I was talking
about his whole improvement, not just running. He had to be traded, and to a
team like Dallas, to have this change.
