    I thought that TJ Ford was a guy that is only 24, averaged 14 and 8 last year. Came up clutch a few times for the Raptors last year. Pretty solid defensivel.yHe's arguably the fastest player in the NBA. </p>

    He's no Tony Parker but he's a very good point gaurd. I think a trio of Ford/Manu/Duncan is pretty solid.</p>

    </div> Nope, sorry.</p>

    TJ can settle for second fastest. The fastest plays for the Warriors.</p>

    Having TJ Ford paired with Duncan isn't too smart. It's a contrast of style.</p>

    </p>

    Battier used to have a wrinkly head, now not so much. Do you think he botoxed his dome?</p>

    Contrast of styles seems to be the name of the game in this draft. Granted I've been trying to move away from that.</p>

    Well that's no reason to pick players and fall into the crowd. Contrasting styles of play isn't too smart when forming a team, which is why a lot of teams won't be strong.

    Ford is too brittle, too small and weak defensively in the halfcourt, and most importantly is a horrible shooter.</p>

    He needs to play on a team that plays fast and can afford to use him for 30 MPG max. </p>

    </p>

    I think Jason Terry would be perfect to play with Duncan.</p>

    Brandon Roy, too, but he was taken pretty early. </p>

    I'm still willing to trade some of me 6th round picks for a 4th or 5th.

    If someone has an outstanding pick and their new pick comes up, can we auto-skip them? (see RaptorsFan#1)

    As long as there is at least 5 picks between the outstanding one and the new pick. I don't want to see someone get auto-skipped on the wrap arounds.

    No one ever wants to be skipped on the wrap-around. RIGHT GHOTI?</p>

    Change of subject time.</p>

    </p>

    You know what I really hate? When you take a poop that's so big that you need to break it up with a wire hanger to make sure it doesn't clog the toilet.</p>

    Dalembert is a weirdo. </p>

    </p>

    One time I was taking a final exam and I was sitting by the window and I kept hearing a buzzing. I looked out the window and Sam Dalembert was by himself between two buildings playing with a remote control toy car. By himself, just playing with an RC car. 7 foot tall guy by himself in an alley of campus playing with an RC car. Mind boggling. </p></div>
    you can't be serious. really. why would samuel dalembert be near your school?
