There's a lot of things a like, and some I don't.

Unless the young guys have break out seasons, this won't be the Raps year to reach the conference finals - no matter what minimum salary vets the Raps manage to sign for that last 1 or 2 (if buying out Bank's) spots.<br /><br />We'll see in September, but I believe BCo wants toAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-18661113327422442182009-08-10T19:51:33.931-04:002009-08-10T19:51:33.931-04:00only 1 roster spot currently but a buyout of Banks...only 1 roster spot currently but a buyout of Banks and that is possible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949252276261906672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-11299874147651498862009-08-10T19:43:40.185-04:002009-08-10T19:43:40.185-04:00i agree with the first comment, go out & get U...i agree with the first comment, go out & get Udoka + Pops. The rest is up to Triano - rebounding is about boxing out, and crashing the boards with passion/desire.

White Black Blue or Brown let's just evaluate players on how they play. Warren Moon spent 6 years in CFL cause people believed black guys could not play quarterback. Steve Nash is white as a ghost and a 2 time MVP. Color should not be the issue how you play should.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949252276261906672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-84928530513765241502009-08-10T18:02:20.159-04:002009-08-10T18:02:20.159-04:00"Enough white players already!

For all of the positive things Hedo brings offensively, he might take away as much defensively. I'm hoping for a big leap from Bargnani on the boards but I don't know if the time he's spending with his national team is going to allow him Vittorio De Zenhttp://vittoriodezen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-43320628402211967252009-08-10T14:29:50.376-04:002009-08-10T14:29:50.376-04:00I had a chance to read that over the weekend it wa...I had a chance to read that over the weekend it was well done.

He may go for the vet's minimum (he was paid $1M or so last year and is 31 years old) and ranked #4 in the LEAGUE in Defensive Rating (for players that played over 1,000 min). Think he's a very nice fit.<br />I would also buy out Banks - and while it doesn't affect the cap, it would open another roster spot Tom Listonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848179340644089138noreply@blogger.com
