Raptors' Colangelo On Prowl For Guard

[.loggie]

Toronto Sun -
Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo said yesterday he is going to continue to try to acquire another point guard -- even though T.J. Ford will begin working out this week.

"I've been in communication with a number of teams, doing the normal course of activity in terms of making and receiving phone calls and talking about improving our basketball team," said Colangelo, adding that acquiring a point guard is a priority.

Even though Ford, who suffered an arm stinger on Dec. 11, will begin workouts this week, he could still be four to five weeks away from rejoining the team. Jose Calderon is playing more than 40 minutes per game in his place and shooting guard Juan Dixon hasn't worked out as a backup.

Some point guards mentioned as possibly being available include former Raptor Damon Stoudamire of the Memphis Grizzles, Jason Williams of the Miami Heat and Luke Ridnour of the Seattle SuperSonics.

I don't think PGs like Jason Williams and Luke Ridnour would fit the system.

So people can say what PG they think would be good here. You can tell I really deserve that MVN award.

We need another point guard because it is still uncertain how long that TJ Ford will be out.

Sure Jose Calderon and Juan Dixon are playing well, but if Ford is gone for a while we need more depth at that position; solid depth.

Apparently Colangelo is really interested in Damon Stoudamire now that he's a free agent.

Lets see if Colangelo can bring Stoudamire back to his first team.

Looks like that won't be happening.

Hmm...didn't realize that he'll be joining San Antonio.

Too bad for Toronto, it would have been nice to see him in a Raptors jersey again.

OMG BALLA I AM STILL THE BIGGEST NOOB EVER =). Anywho we need a rebounder.

 

[nba_balla]

Lmao.

Agreeeeeeed ^

 

[bulls12]

yeah this is so stupid, they already have Calderon, who can certainly start. Dixon's alright I guess. but yeah the Raptors will be wasting their money and a roster spot unless they actually try to acquire a center, which is what they really need IMO.

yeah i agree guys, we dont need another guard, we need a better SF, sure Moon is good, but we need more depth at that position, and I say we trade Rasho, cause well.....he sucks, and Bosh needs someone who can pick up where he left off then he gets tired
