    post a link soon...but i saw it reported on the score ticker

    i know lots of you dont like mo...but i personally like him as a raptor. i dont like him as a starter, but i like him off the bench for us. he's a pretty decent perimeter defender too.

    ^ true...but i dont think Mo will ever become as high-caliber of a player as Billups....he just doesn't have a lot in his game to show for it

    Good news, hes cheap, and he does a decent job coming off the bench. In the past I've really disliked Mo because of his inconsistency, but sometimes he brings good scoring off the bench. I expected this to happen and I'm glad it did - 8ppg while shooting a hot 37% from behind the arc.

    How much did the Raps offer? If it's anything more than 3 million, I'd leave it. There are better options for a sixth man at a much cheaper price.

    As long as he's not signed for anything more than the qualifying offer because he doesn't deserve any more than that.
    3 million is even too much for Mo-Pete, we can just go out and get Matt Barnes or Richie Frahm or Bobby Simmons or something.

    Exactly, why pay him 3 Million, when their are guys like this in the d league, or invites to training camp? Plus they're more consitant than him. I rather have someone like Simmons give 6,7 points on a daily basis for like 20 mins a game than have Mo Pete play 28 mins a night, scorin 14 one night, 2 the next, then 9 then 3 etc. Plus there's a big difference in their salaries.
