RE: Rasheed

I wouldn't take Rasheed on a silver platter.  His head is never in the game. 
  I'd much rather have a heady, team leader than someone with great talent 
but no self-control.  Antoine's stock rose this year and the Celtics need to 
try to unload him this summer.  How about Antoine and a pick for Camby and 
Mark Jackson?
