>>I have a problem with running a guy down on his way out of town and to me 
that is clearly what the C's are doing here. Antoine will play 30+ minutes a 
nite in Dallas by the end of the first month of the season. He is not as good as 
some on here think, but to listen to some of you on here you would think we 
were giving them Vin Baker instead of Antoine Walker. >>


>>>>>Oops Kestutis, I wasnt clear in my typing. I was talking about the 
Celtics management not the members of this list. The whole Antoine debate is an old 
one on this list and no one is going to change their minds. My problem is 
with the Celtics via comments by Ainge, Wyc, and through whats been released to 
the media basically running Walker down. >>>>

  In the case of what I posted, these were Antoine's thoughts as relayed by 
Grousbeck. I don't think it was said to denigrate Walker.
They just interviewed Donnie Nelson and asked him basically the same question 
about playing time and Nelson essentially said Antoine will have to find a 
way to fit in with the "big three".
  He said that everyone who has come to Dallas understands that their shots 
and points are going to take a hit.
I don't think people are taking that into consideration when comparing the 
stats of the players involved.
