I think Graham should have been handed a starting spot at the "3" until the Marion trade happened, see if he can fill the role that we all see as a weakness. Instead, we probably drop him and he'll have a solid career for someone else.
Great on O, weak on D. Half a stud.
I disagree with that sentiment of Bosh, relies on his jump shot and is erasable around the net. It's anecdotally true, but its not true about Bosh.
I'd like to see how many players could dominate the paint with Bargs, Kapono Parker and Calderon as his supporting cast.
The team's composition is weak, and that's bad GMing.

RE: Parker.
He's not a 6th man on a playoff team. Perhaps an 8th. He can't create his own shot, has decent handles and very little athleticism.
RE: Graham.
He isn't consistent and doesn't dominate in practice against guys like Kapono, Parker, Bargs and Moon, so that's why he doesn't get handed the spot.
RE: Jose.
He was weak on defence because of his Hammy, I thought I stated this. The year before he was much better at holding his player to the perimeter.
RE: Team Composition.
Yeah it's a bad composition, so rather than sink with a superstar, trade him and some loafers for more talent at more positions.
Re: Bosh. He isn't a dominant 4th quarter force. He falls in love with his jimmy if he can't take guys off the dribble. Rarely, does he post up. He is a face up 4. Get CB another player that forces the d to pay attention to the other guy instead of bosh. This comes back to the composition thing. TJ and Jose were great in that TJ would be able to break down 90% of all the other PGs and get to the hole forcing D's to collapse. Jose can do it too, but his hamstring limited his production last year.
