    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Celtics and Mavericks made a business deal Monday, but Antoine Walker took it personally.

    One day after being traded to Dallas, Walker ripped the Celtics, stating that his relationship with the team's management -- or lack thereof -- led to his departure.

    "I didn't have a relationship with [Danny Ainge, the team's new director of basketball operations and a former Celtic], period," Walker told The Boston Globe on Monday, hours after the trade. "They're going to say cap reasons and this and that. But anybody who knows basketball knows this was a personal situation. He didn't like me. It's either him or the owners. Somebody didn't like me.

    "I figured I had too much power for them. I think I had too many friendships off the court. I think he felt he couldn't have a relationship with me. And I just think he never had a high regard for my game. He's entitled to that opinion. I'm 99 percent sure coach [Jim] O'Brien didn't want me to leave."</div>

    I agree with Toine, i've been a c's fan since he came to them as a wee rookie, i've watched him grow and blossom into the best player and most loved in his city, DANNY AINGE CAN GO TO HELL AND TAKE THOSE DALLAS PLAYERS WITH HIM! WE WANT TOINE BACK.

    the NBA is full to the brim in this (bleep)....all this 'here today gone tomorrow' crap...one minute you will have some franchise owner saying "oh yeah hes a great asset to the team and we get on very well"...then hes traded soon after and treated like(bleep)
