This trade will serve us well in the long run. With all the positives
that Antoine brings to the team, there is an accompanying downside by
having him on board. I think the last straw was the 'it aint gonna
happen' statement that he made last week. I could only shake my head
when I read that line. During the near end of the 3rd quarter against
Indiana the other day, Antoine again just dribbled the ball and did
not pass to the point guard and also took the shot. Same old, same
old. This guy is really not going to change. Last night I was
already thinking of possible trades and I was hoping that we could get
Ben Wallace for him. Lafrentz is okay but the term of his salary
makes me a bit weary. Trading Delk is also a good move since Obie is
really itching to start him at 1. Really stubborn guy! We need to
get another veteran player to assist Pierce in the leadership
department. In a nutshell, good move by Ainge. He was able to
acquire a lot in this deal-- a PF-!
C, a 2
guard, cap space/ cap relief next year, and a draft pick.
Goodbye Toine, thanks for the memories. I will never forget your
performance during the 2001 playoffs. But you brought this to
yourself....you bought your ticket out of town.
