who cares??!! useless player playing for a useless team & sport

 

[Dynamite_Kid]

useless sport? maybe thats because u can't play it....

Rafer can go cry in Houston now. Get him out. I can't wait to see the drama unfold between him and Tracy. There will be some definate tension there. I am excited however to see what will come to fruition between Rafer and Yao. There will be some magic there, and Tracy will get jealous. So excited...the fall is here. October baseball, hockey season is back, NBA pre-season about to start, and TERB is better then ever. I am one happy Cock, I mean man...

I never understood what they were doing with him anyhow, had him a while back, let him go, got him back and signed him to a long term deal, no deal him...so Babcock is......nah, too easy

 

[Big Sleazy]

Rafer had moments of greatness...but they were only moments. A point guard is probably the most critical position in basketball. And you need an unselfish player who's going to control his emotions at all times. Especially under pressure. I wish the guy luck and hope he matures down the road. With the Raptor's luck it will probably be this year and he'll go on to a Hall of Fame career...but I doubt it.

BS

great trade, at least now sam can concentrate on the the new players, and their development.

Always liked Rafer and his skills, too bad he didn't know how to act like a professional on and off the court.

Yep, Rafer may be a bit too street for the NBA and it will be his limitation not his strength.

T-Mac will eat him alive. It should be fun to watch. Yao probably doesn't speak english well enough yet to make entertaining press.

For the Raps, it's a good deal in the long run. Skip was a stupid signing at that long of a contract and can be a disruptive influence on the court and off. They are at a bit of a loss at the point. Hopefully the Europick will be able to cut it in the League. Either that or they try CB4 at the point. The've had him play pretty much everywhere else.

Rafer Traded For James!!!! Amazing!!!!

Mike James??? not Lebron?????

oh....

still the best trade that Babcock has made even if it's not Lebron...
