Arsenalist is concerned that the Raptors don't have any young prospects to fall back on if the the O'Neal/Bosh/Calderon plan doesn't work. Meanwhile, RaptorsHQ is worried that the Raptors don't have a perimeter player who can create his own shot late in the clock. If he can shoot like he did last season, I would assume that Jose Calderon is that guy. Doug Smith lists the three worst Raptors training camps he's been to. Barrie, stand up! DaBullz.com reports that CSKA Moscow has offered Ben Gordon a one-year, $5.5 million net contract — equivalent to $8.9 million in NBA money. It seems like nobody thinks he's going to take the offer, but I wonder if he's stubborn (and stupid) enough to do it just to prove a point. Hoopsworld lists the five teams most likely to become the next championship contenders. Guess which team isn't on the list? Wow, you got it first try. You're good. You know who's huge in Indonesia? Danny Granger. Would you like to hear a rap about Lenny Wilkens from the intro to the 1989 NBA All-Star Game? Silly question — of course you would! Edited to add: Because I was accused of "hating" on RaptorsHQ in the comments, here's my response showing that Calderon's shot-making ability at the end of the shot clock compares quite favorably to other players in the league who are considered the best at making those shots. I'm not saying that Jose is the ultimate late-shot-clock shot creator, but the numbers show that my statement has merit. |
