Hes a very polished and effcient player, and definitely does not have Gasol&#039;s post game. Any team with a tough interior defender or that can committ to doubling will stop him from scoring in crunch time. Case in point, they still haven&#039;t scrubbed out the blood stains on the ACC floor from what Howard did to bosh in the playoffs last year.Yeah, if he had a great wing player like wade where it would be harder to double him and keep things a bit more spread out, it could def work as a kobe/gasol type thing.&lt;blockquote&gt;Toronto Sun &lt;/blockquote&gt; Yeah, the sun is a rag, probably was The Star. Lots of turkish people in T.O. had a lot of turkish friends in high school. Great culture and food! Also, those motherfuckers do not play! Our starting strongside linebacker was 5&#039;7&quot; 145 lb turk who just used to mash shit up! Guy was one of the toughest people I&#039;ve met. Had a fierce unibrow.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>how do you know? he&#8217;s never been in that spot.</p></blockquote><p>CB&#8217;s problem is despite a pretty complete game (few post moves, great facing up, great range and jump shot for a PF) he has no real &#8216;goto&#8217; move, can stuggle to get good post position against good defenders and he&#8217;s not athletically dominant.

I don&#039;t trust that guy&#039;s game at all when I see him play.Also, I actually like Parker. Given the right fit, I think he would play the Ariza role well for another team.Also, I would take a guy like Calderon over the likes of Rafer Alston any day. Dude can straight up ball...his injury slowed him down last year, but when he&#039;s healthy, he&#039;s one of the most efficient guards in the league.What I&#039;m actually hoping for is that Rubio&#039;s stock drops down (it won&#039;t) and the Raptors grab him. That kid is going to be special IMO.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No way Bosh is a better franchise player than Gasol was in Memphis.
