loved Antoine's fight and his pride in being a Celtic.  that goes a long way with me.   hated his 3-point bombing since he rarely had a hot night from deep.  Without Toine and his ability to will the team to victory, we don't have that amazing comeback against the Nets in the playoffs. 

hated the trade.  thought Danny got robbed in an embarrassing manner.   move was strictly about dumping Toine for anything he could get rather than looking at it as moving an all-star player for either another all-star or some really good prospects/picks.   what he was able to do with the pieces he did receive is irrelevant to whether the Toine deal was good or not.  I view a lot of his subsequent moves that worked out as a lot of sheer luck.
