Shareef Abdur-Rahim

[MVP]

I can bet you Shareef is frustrated on the amount of playing time he is getting in Portland.
He are his numbers in 20 games for the Blazers (3 as starter):
Min: 25.5
Pts: 11.1
Reb: 5.4
Ast: 1.7

Here are his numbers in 53 games for the Hawks (53 as starter):
Min: 36.9
Pts: 20.1
Reb: 9.3
Ast: 2.4

I think Maurice Cheeks should utilize Shareef better...he is a proven starter. I know the Blazers have more talent than the Hawks had, but c'mon he's a better player than Darius Miles.

Shareef can't play the 3, he would consistently get beat on defense, and he can't run the break like Miles.

Miles is also 6'9 and is much quicker and faster so its better for him to be their even though he can't shoot that well.

Shareed will probably be traded this off-season because they don't need him at all, and he's not complaining now, but a 20-10 guy can't be getting only 20 minutes off the bench, but Randolph is good.

yes i think sheed will be gone......maybe a Mavs deal here
Jamison for Abdur Rahim?
sounds realistic i guess but Reef would be benched in Dallas
I think Dallas should move Walker, and perhaps pursue Rasheed Wallace, although a sign and trade of Wallace for Walker wouldn't happen because Joe D isn't stupid enough to take on Walker
