Antoine For Shareef: Here's The Deal As Proposed On WEEI
Pete Sheppard (sp?) on Sports-Raio WEEI in Boston said he's heard from two or
three sources that the Celtics (aka Rick Pitino) are planning a big trade. The
deal, which he thinks has a "strong possibility" of occurring, would be Antoine
and the tenth pick to Vancouver for Shareef Abdur-Rahim and the second pick in
the draft.
I don't what anyone else thinks, but this would be a great deal for the
Celtics. While Shareef may not be as good as Antoine, he's certainly not far
behind, and the acquisition of the second pick gives the C's a wide degree of
flexibility. They could take either Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, Robert Traylor,
Dirk Nowitzki, or trade down, dump a salary cap dreg like Pervis Ellison or
Travis Knight and still come up with one of Il Duce's favorite players - Raef
LaFrentz.
