If he is , well I guess I've never seen Nelson healthy and I've seen him play since he was drafted.

I don't hate the Raps. I think Dwight Howard and Chris Bosh are the two best young bigs in the league. I'd kill to have some of ya'lls talent in a Magic uniform.

I just unload on trollers, perhaps to an extent some consider disproportionate to the crime. If the troller is a Raps fan, so be it. :D

I drafted him since his first year in the nba in all my fantasy teams. I knew him before he came to the league and let me tell you that he can be as good as Stockton.


He can be but hes not.

But hes still very good.

If you look at real pointguards, hes the second best pointguard in the east after Billups.

Among ALL nba pointguards calderon is #1 in Assist-Turnover, hes #1 in field goal %, hes #1 in three point %, hes number 1 in free throw %.

His biggest strength is he plays so well within the rhythm of the offence.

His biggest weakness is his defence when hes facing very speedy guards. Hes a bit tall to keep up with the Chris paul's and Tony parkers of the league. But facing bigger guards like Billups, etc he defends nicely. Offensively he has his way with most.

Hedo's value is at an all-time high right now. I think you guys should trade him for a good pointguard. Good pointguard + rashard + dwight would work better than Hedo+rashard+dwight. Just my two cents dont mind me.

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

Agreed on the Calderon bit. I didn't say he was already as good as Stockton was, but he can be one day. And yeah, his main problem is defense.

And as much as I hate the idea of parting with Hedo right now, I also have to agree with your thoughts on getting a good PG to play with Rashard and Dwight. And Hedo might be the price to get it. :(

Okay, people say we should trade for a point guard. But if a point guard is so good, why would any team trade them????? What good point guard is available right now? We never had a chance at Kidd......so that doesn't count.

I mean I love the way Calderon plays but guys like him are not only rare, but if they are out there, they don't get traded.

So its pretty easy to just say trade Hedo for a point guard....
