trade either Kapono, Parker or Delfino. All three play a similiar game and right now the Raps need is toughness and rebound.

What do you guys think?

In Brian we trust. He is a basketball God and know when is, and when isn't the right time to make a move.

I would put Joey Graham there, but he'll just be a throw in for salary match reason.

This team won't contend until they land a premiere wing player and a solid big to backup Bosh and Bargs at the 4/5. If BC doesn't fill one of those needs this summer I'll be extremely dissapointed.

Worked for LA, but Kapono, Delfino and Parker are not scraps. I think many teams would like either one of those players.

I agree, I do think Parker as a main piece for something good. While I LOVE Parker's game, he is not part of the future and his value is as high as it will get. Raps depth is overrated in the sense that we need another star on this team at the 2/3 spot and a rebounder, and our dept does not really produce us either at the moment....

Colangelo is soft, he doesnt understand hard, the team makeup reflects it including Sam. Sam is not hard, he acts hard if he was hard hed be playing hard players not softies, and his mantra wouldnt be SHATS, it would be REBANDS

When Colangelo replaced 75% of the team two years, we improved by about 25 wins. So he should replace 75% of the team again, and then we will improve by 25 more wins.

My logics are infallible.

I think Parker is a mainstay here in Toronto. He will probably be coming off the bench if we do get a young 2/3. However, I do think there is value in Jason Kapono and Carlos Delfino. Package one of them w/ Kris Humphries (who should be getting playing time, but appears to be in Sam's doghouse) and we could get a nice piece to the puzzle.

we need a rebounder and slasher type
our offense is pretty much bosh inside/to the line
3's, jose's last second mid range shot

our offense in a guy who can drive to the lane
AB tonight did it 2-3 times..VERY impressive...if can do this...we dont rele need a slasher immedietly, but rebound/hustle is a desperate need

I don't know who you've been watching or listening to, but Sam always stresses rebounding. Always.
