    We have too many young inexperienced PGs right now so it's good to see Strickland coming the raps. I don't think he'll be making a HUGE impact, but he certainly can help.

    Any word on Baker yet?

    Just wait until you guys see him play , he ranks 7th All-Time in assists , and can shoot when he needs to , great FT shooter and can finish around the basket.

    You guys will love him after tonight , I hope the best for Rod hopefully could help the Raps to stay in a playoffs spot.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Skip:</div><div class="quote_post">To me, Rod is welcome ANY freakin TIME! Wait, my friend told me we signed him already tho.

    I'd love to have him in Raps jersey. We need a strong, veteran like that on the floor. Like everyone says, he's got that pass-first mentality. But he's also very athletic and quick, we need that athleticism real bad right now... someone who's not afraid to drive, cut in and attack the basket and face the big guys.</div>
    He's not the same guy off the bounce that he was a few years ago. He's had his share of problems and dust-ups as well. I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly but I seem to recall something about him and Anthony Peeler in Minnesota or something like that

    Let's just say that he isn't a guy you go to if you're not desperate........

    Yess!!! As long as Milt and Pargo aren't seeing a lot of floor time I am happy. Rod plays 30 mins and Roger Mason plays 18 mins. [​IMG]

    No I'm just playing, but Pargo needs to go, for some reason he thought he was better than he really is, maybe he was thinking this was the Lakers, and when he played it was when the team was lowing someone out os he could launch up shots like a maniac/

    Ok i can understand Pargo, but I think Milt deserves play time. I think he's pretty good, especially in fast breaks he's a good driver. He's a bit underrated by raps fans.. and although he's not the best, he's decent i'd say

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting choppa22:</div><div class="quote_post">He signed with the Raptors thats a major plus for them he brings energy off the bench and a lot of teams could use a 6th man like him.The only problem is he is old.</div> "Quoting another thread."

    He is old, but that'll bring size and some more class to the team. He has the age, experience and knowledge from which your team could benefit. He could teach them all about other players as well as tactics, moves and other things like player analyses. Young people like Bosh would get the most out of it, also it would help Williams and Marshall's games, they already play as well as they can, this could possibly not only make them better but the team as well. He'd be to you like Jackson is to the Rockets, well almost anyway.

    I can't wait till Jalen and Alvin come back. And to have Rod, Milt of the bench. Mason would be backup for Alvin.
