<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Morris Peterson, F, Raptors Peterson Last year's stats: 14.1 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 39 percent shooting from the field The skinny: Peterson has been a solid, if unspectacular, role player on the Raptors the past several years. He had career bests in points and rebounds last season, but his shooting percentage took a major dive, especially from behind the arc, where he hit just 34 percent. Still, with the difficulty attracting major free agents to Toronto, the Raps should be able to get him signed to a deal in the six-year, $32 million range</div>.I think thats what he deserves he is still young but maybe we should explore other free agents too. Maybe Adonal Foyle too.
u got to be kidding me!!! "solid"???!?!?!?!!?!?? inconsistent is SOLID??? 6 years 32 million!!!! more that 5 million a year around!!!omg what r u thinking! u drunk or something?!?!? and u think toronto should try to get Foyle?!?!?!?!?! arguably the sh!ttiest player in the L. omg, this thread is incredible!
mo-pete is not worth $32M for 6 years. i think he's worth more like $3.5M a season. txonline, Foyle is one of the best defensive centers in the league. are you drunk? he averaged 2.5 blks in only 21mpg! that's the most blocks per 48 minutes per game.
Mo Pete is worth 4 million but hes young and improving every year and we got a new coach. I would like to re sign peterson for something like 5 years 20 million then sign Adonal Foyle. But look what Odom is going to get.

I think Adonal Foyle is the best backup Center in the league. He does nt suck. I would rather have him at Center and AD at power forward then have AD at Center and JYD or someone at power forward.

He was the number 1 option which he should nt be. He is a number 3 option is whe he does best hittin open shots. He will be much beter next year under O neill because he wont let Mo Pete shoot dumb shots and he will have Murray pushing him for playing time.

The reason he plays 21mpg is because the Warriors have another center named Erik Dampier on the team. It's a luxury most teams don't have, but put Foyle as a starter and he'll be right up there with the other centers in the league. Also the Warriors are not a halfcourt team, and they even give minutes to Troy Murphy at the 5. This team is built on speed, but when Foyle comes in the game he brings an inside presence. He's an underrated player, and you probably have not had the opportunity to see him play and appreciate his skill. He is far from being the worst player in the league. I think Pat Burke wins that award. Maybe you should start drinking!

txu, you need to watch adonal man, hes a presence in the lane, vicious shot blocker...id like to see him in a raps uni, hes better than mccoy, mammadou, montross or anyone else we got in the middle. like shape said, hes FAR from the worst player in the league. he may not be a shaq on the offensive side of the ball, but defensively, hes a total presence and about mo pete, i agree, hardly woth that much, i like him as a rap, and he can still develop, but if he wants that much, let him go

eric plays ahead of adonal because he has more low post game offensively and mussleman plays an offensive style...dampier is overall the better center so he starts. dude...the stat of 2.5 blocks per is huge, how can you argue that he sucks with a stat like that staring back in your face. the fact that he avg'd that many blocks in such short minutes says more about his skill then his lack of skill. if he sucks so much, can you come up with any substance as to why he does? other than just saying he sucks!

Bosh will be the Offence in the post. We need a Foyle a freakish shot blocker. He is like Ben Wallace but bigger. He scores point how JYD does atleast he does nt try things he cant do like AD does. HE deserves to start and Dampier is solid. Dampier can option out but probly wont.
