Is it just me? IMO AP and Garbo are already Rapters to me, they def belong in the team and I think there is great chemistry with the old raptors, Bosh, Graham, Calderon, Mo Pete.

Rasho doesn't really look out of place either, but Jones, to me doesn't quite look like he fits in that uniform, he would be a player I wouldn't mind losing, if anybody should be traded I think it's him. The team seems to be gelling quite nicely right now but to me, Jones still looks out of place.

Also I have to say that I am quite happy with Gnani as the first overall, this kid is def special. Looking at Pau Gasol and Dirk, I think he has the potential to develop into their level. I am not saying he will be as good as them, but I don't think it is far fetched to think he can be as good as Gasol right now. Gasol might be better than him throughout his career (I hope not) but I thik he can def be as good as the Pau Gasol of today.

Humphries and Tucker are players who I am happy to have on the team, they bring great hustle, but I could care less for them. Tucker seems to belong more than Jones, although I often confuse one for the other on the floor, but nevertheless, Tucker just seems to belong, I think due to his hustle, he is often at the right place at the right time, unlike Jones. Humphries is great character, but IMO he still doesn't look like a Raptor yet.

I love all the players on this team, so I think all "belong"

but I think we have mad room to improve in a couple areas, which would make certain players that "belong" expendable

Mo/AP and Jones will not last as our backcourt rotation, and I feel this is an area BC will be working tirlessly to upgrade

I love the newfound depth in our frontcourt with guys like Garbo/Rasho/Humphries/Bargs....but we a still are very weak in the paint and on the boards and I only really see Bargs as part of the future of this team.

As much as Jones has struggled, trading him now would be a mistake, IMO. His value is at its lowest, for one. But more importantly it would send a message to our players that I don't think is a good one.

No I agree with speedy because I feel right now for BC to make any decisions regarding trading Raptors would be a mistake, because lets face it. The majority of this team has never played with one another before and I feel that we should give each player some more time before going off on a few players saying we should try to make some moves. I think we all should stay patient and just see what happens.

The players however I feel don't fit the Raptors new style at this time are:
Moe
Freddy

But like I said give them time, just look at how Rasho has turned it up latley...

i'm hoping that fred has a solid 2nd half. i THINK he can be more productive in the NBA. to start the year off i thought he would compliment the roster. But the #s don't lie:

AP & Mo Pete average more points, more rebounds, shoot a better field goal and 3-pt pct., turn the ball over less and don't foul as much. I think its a shame, I like his game a lot. Cheers to him having a solid end to the season.

Jones is struggling right now, and sometimes I say I wish that Salmons stayed with us, because he has played better then Jones this season. But I don't think we should trade him because he will get better.

But I agree so far he's the only one that looks out of place on this team, and struggles, but players like Garbo and Parker are playing really well with the Raptors this season, and I am hopeful they'll keep it up.
