which is exactly why you'd probably not want to trade away a player with Jamario Moon's defensive potential. when Bruce Bowen was 28 years old, he was also an nba rookie and shot only 40% from the floor. the next he shot 29%.

Carlos turned 25 last summer. Manu turned 25 the summer before his rookie season in 2002; he averaged 7.6 ppg over 69 games.

and Bosh and Calderon are going to be perfectly fine defender through their prime years. they need to be in the right system, most definitely, where again the Raps have a few more steps to take.

Manu is one of the best players in the world. his ball skills are incredible. We all know we're a little lacking in this regard but, as I see Carlos cross over to his left and stretch out for the layup, we've got some upside here too. we've got upside as a slashing team. we even have upside when it comes to shooting - Delf and Moon are only just finding their jumpers!

Kapono is going to be a gritty shooter for the next half decade. He's one of the best shooters EVER! You've got to keep this guy around and see if it can pay off huge in the playoffs.

Give em some time, that's all I'm asking.
