I don't think I was as aware of Shareef's ability to get to the line and
snatch rebounds.  He has 16 fewer defensive boards than Toine has in total!
Hmmm.
He's also 20 months younger than Toine.  I do like Toine when he is on but
even I would have to admit that he isn't as consistent as Abdur-Rahim.  This
would be a trade which I trust would meet with approval from most Celtic
fans?
Will RP pull this trigger?
