    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Regardless of who they actually drafted, the Indiana Pacers won the draft on Wednesday night. In dumping Jermaine O’Neal, the Pacers acquired the holy trinity of an expiring contract, future considerations, and the best talent in the deal. Expect to see the Pacers return to the playoffs given this excellent take.

    On the flip side, the Raptors lost significant depth and are now a threat to miss the playoffs, despite the presence of solid talent in Chris Bosh, Jamario Moon, and Jose Calderon.</div>

    What's the point in depth if your coach doesn't use any of it? We've had some of the deeper rosters in the league the past couple seasons, but those weren't the reasons we made it to the playoffs.

    DX should stick to the draft.

    That's what happens when you dump a blue chip, grade-A prospect like Rasho Nesterovic.

    Let's NBA? More like let's PGA. Golf for the Raps next spring!

    LOL Depth?

    That Maceo Baston was soo good at closing out games!

    Ford was a great player but its not like we are gambling with Calderon here! Calderon can possibly make the All-Star team next season if he continues to contribute to the Raptors like he did last season when Ford was out. As for Rasho, he played consistant but we barely played him in the 2nd half so really this "depth" is insignificant.
