Raptors Bench Goes From Best To Worst In League

James699 · Post #1 » by **James699** » Mon Jan 7, 2008 7:05 am

Most of the bench players, are quite useless and need to be traded. No doubt, they are great basketball players, but somehow they are not working in our system (mainly Smitches).

This is the players I recommend be traded:

Kapono - A deadly Shooter. But really he hasn't had too many good games for us. If Heat wants him for a first round, take him.

Nesterovich - Some old guy making 8+ million, either trade or waive

Graham - With emergence of Moon, he is not needed.

Dixon- Would be great for Bobcats or team that needs scoring. Didnt work well here.

Garbo - Waive him (hes injured and getting old)

Martin - Waive him (he sux)

Delfino - trade him while his stock is still high

Parker - Needs to be gone, too old

Hump

Players that need to stay:

Bosh (Franchise)
Ford (Best Raps PG)
Calderon
Bargs
Moon
Baston - Good as backup C, But we need him to play more

yes. lets trade arguably our 2 best perimeter defenders in parker and Delfino.

Trade Kapono because he hasn't had too many good games for us in half a season ? I can't even begin to explain how faulty that logic is.

and of course with nesterovic gone we're going to have bargnani and Hump manning the C spot ??

Better yet who do you propose we trade for?

how bout Michael Redd? CV? CV worked so great in our system. We should practically trade half our bench To milwaukee.

Ummm...the reason our bench sucks all of a sudden is because they're missin' 2 key pieces...Calderon has become a starter and so has Bargs

I think Calderon was the main ingredient in making our bench as good as it was. Having two starting point guards really does make a tremendous difference.

Are you kidding me? Bustnani stays? This guy can't rebound if his life depend on it.

Hump should stay, and bustnani should be shipped.

In the words of Jack:

"Get that gahbage outta heah!"

BTW, I mean the OP not the players he suggests moving.

bargs was always a projected starter going into the season.

the one they are missing is calderon but it doesn't matter, it's not like a hockey line out there. even when our backups come in and calderon is playing they still stink. delfino is in his own little world where he'll take every single shot and kapono thinks he can cross everyone up.
