So far this season Delfino has been a very consistent performer, shooting, defense and rebounding. Moon is giving them the same. Kapono shooting and at least hustle if not good defense. Calderon with great game management, superior passing and at least hustle on defense. Bosh up and down but improving, Parker up and down but improving. I think Ford has been up and down as well and the Raps have to be pleased they have Calderon to come in when he is trying to do too much by himself. AB mostly mediocre and the rest of the cast adequate for their minutes.

Frankly if Graham and Dixon have been rendered irrelevant they should move them for another big man who can help defend. Bosh and Bargnani don't have the weight/strength to take on some of the guys they end up defending.

It was good to see them going inside to Moon last game as to me this is what they need to do to improve their offense.

I don't have the salary cap numbers or anything, and this may be a way slanted idea in favor of Toronto, but when I think about it, Toronto is really missing an intimidating Centre. Considering Joey G's upside (which I see none of, but others do), Chicago's faltering lineup, and Ben Wallace's aging, do you think a deal of Joey G, Dixon and 2nd Rounder could fetch a guy like Wallace OR Tyrus Thomas? Just saying.

Edit: Or Dalembert
