Charley Rosen: Raps get "C" Grade in Mid Term Repo

[ITookMCartersParkingSpot]

TORONTO: C
A handful of games above .500 is just about par for this team. But the big question is, since the blossoming of Jose Calderon, what to do with T.J. Ford? What about trading him for a banger? After all, an all-finesse team has a low ceiling.

Trade him for the banger brothers: Peter North and Lex Steele.

Agreed. Also noting that with some injuries earlier this season and a tougher 1st half, we're hoping they do better in the 2nd half.

oh really Rosen? Trade T.J.? Wow, what an unbelievable idea!

And who is going to take someone who almost retired? Let alone give up something really good for him....

Thanks Rosen.

And Milwaukee get's an C+ and Atlanta get's B+???

This is Mr. Rosen's credibility...

I wouldnt go into the c bracket with the raps. Damn near every "expert" had them missing the playoffs all together. The (although inconsistant at times) have held there own.

Id say B to B minus.

Whenever I read Charlie Rosen I generally give him an 'F'.

You all need to learn how to read (to the fullest)

From LINE ONE of the report:

As ever, the following grades are not meant to represent comparative evaluations. Instead, they measure how well, or poorly, each team has fared against preseason expectations.

Ya, I'm not sure how Milwaukee gets anything but a failing grade. They have not only failed to meet even conservative expectations, they have serious morale problems and a lameduck general manager, meaning that whatever plan he had will be scrapped by his successor. Michael Redd and Charlie V look like good bets to be traded this summer, not to get that team over the top but to help clear bad contracts like Simmons and Gadzuric and allow the team to start over.

I don't think that TO is going to even consider trading TJ until Calderon is inked.

[raps9]

I'm happy that he gave us a 'C.' It shows he knows that we can perform a lot better than what we have so far.
