    Plus the jerseys cost more to customize on the Internet do they? Someone asked this already, and its a little OT, but do you guys think he'll wear #11 or 12?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">Fisher is another overatted player because he's been in a good situation and on a championship team, he's not a big playmaker, just a guy that can shoot, play good defense but not well against very quick guys, and has average passing skills, he was definately not the best one there.</div>



    What? Come on...Fisher lost his starting job to Payton...you just proved that he's a great PG! Hudson's all offence and injury-prone.

    You want clutch...go with Fisher!!!

    No what og15 stated is just about right. He's overated for the reasons og15 listed.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting banks3:</div><div class="quote_post">We can give Mo Pete as much money as he wants. We can give him a 3 year 30 Million dollar deal, because we have his Bird Rights, but anything over 3 Million is overpaying. 3 Million is even overpaying him. 2-2.5 Million is reasonable. Or maybe we should let him go and get Richie Frahm for $50 and a bucket of KFC.</div>

    That's exactly what I meant. Since the Raptors are out of cap room and Peterson is still legally under contract (as a restricted free agent) we can sign him for whatever amount of money even if we go over the cap limit-- in contrast to try and sign a free agent with what.. about $1 million left in cap room? We can trade him later after the season starts, but to let him go for nothing right now is just plain stupid. Babcock already made a qualifying offer of $ 2.4 mil for one year so we'll see how that turns out if there are any negotiations going on. We can use the remaining $1 million to sign a veteran centre who can possibly tutor Araujo.

    Exactly what "trade" are you talking about here? In fact, the only Raptors trade in the off season was on the draft day when we swapped second round pick Albert Miralles to Miami for a future second round pick and Pape Sow. If you are talking about Rafer Alston, he was signed as a free agent, NOT traded for anyone on the Raptors roster.

    Jalen's fit????

    It seems to me that over Jalen Rose's career he only seems to really produce well from the point guard position. I just can't see Rose starting at small forward. I love Rafer and some of you Rap fans will remember Rafer's first games as a Rap and how he was a breath of fresh air to the franchise as he was getting everyone all sorts of open looks and shit. Basically just like Jalen's first few games as a Rap. I can see either Jalen or Rafer getting alot of pine this year cause as far as I am concerned they are both point guards and only point guards. Gonna be some competition for that spot this year.
