Anyways, the rotation will tighten eventually. With guys like Bosh and Parker showing some wear-and-tear right now it is no wonder that we are relying on our depth. Its our biggest asset and to have it and not use it would be a major mistake, especially during the grind of the late months.

Why did we trade for Juan Dixon? To make him sit on the bench like Fred Jones? No, if that were to be the case we would have just let Fred rot there. When you bring in a guy like that, you are obviously going to give him the opportunity to play and see what he can do and how he can contribute to your team. So far, Juan Dixon has vastly outplayed both Mo Pete and Graham since he's put on a Raptors uniform. His defense and rebounding is an issue, but he has still brought a lot more positives than Mo Pete and Graham.
