    The raptors just can keep one of Calderon and Ford. It is hard for them to trade Ford. BTW, Ford claimed he wanted to stay in Toronto, but Calderon didn't say that. I believe Calderon will sign with other team this summer.

    If you watched the raptors vs the jazz, you wouldn't say that.

    Simple, keep Rafer but get another veteran backup who is a true PG (not Bobby Jax, who is a shoot first PG), or draft another PG to groom/compete with AB, if there is one out there by our #25 (?) pick.

    With Rafer, his offensive inconsistency is a given, the problem is that the Rockets are forced to rely on his offense way too much. When Tmac and Yao are healthy Rafer seems to be the 3rd option on offense. When one of them goes down, Rafer becomes the second. No team will have success with Alston as their 2nd and 3rd scoring option. Rockets need to find that consistent 3rd scorer that can create his own shot and leave Alston to run the offense.

    I have always undervalued Rafer until this playoff series. It's very obvious that we are a completely different and better team with Rafer in the lineup. With that said, I still want a starting PG that could make us a true contender. Rafer could win the best backup PG award for sure if there is one..
