The signing isn't official yet, but looks like it's likely to go down. I think it's a good move, we didn't really have a pure backup SG.

PG: Alvin Williams / Milt Palacio
SG: Vince Carter / Anthony Peeler
SF: Lamond Murray / Morris Peterson / Chris Jefferies
PF: Jerome Willliams / Chris Bosh / Jerome Moiso / Matt Bonner
C: Antonio Davis / Michael Bradley / Mengke Bateer

Michael Bradley could also start with JYD off te bench at SF and PF. The team is looking more and more solid to me.

Good move. Peeler should be fine as a backup, a much better choice than Hunter.

yeah yeah fine fine move...Peeler can shoot and so can Hunter but Peeler is more steadly as a player...another fine lefty acquasition...

Peeler needs to retire

Retire? He's only 33, and still capable of being a solid contributor.

by **Vins15** on Wed Jul 30, 2003 7:20 pm

yeah he puts up solid number as a 6th man...great player no need to retire now..but maybe in 4 or 5 years...

Aside from Peeler, I'd like to see the Raptors pursue Raja Bell. They can use a lockup defender, and playing him and Alvin at the same time would be hell for opposing guards :twisted:

by **Vins15** on Wed Jul 30, 2003 7:31 pm

then y did Dallas get rid of Bell?Dallas can use all their firepower at offense if they want..but if they wanna truly be serious contenders for a championship they gotta bring more D...and did they rili let Raja Bell go?

Peeler has yet to sign...hmmm...could someone have been Chad-Fording us?

Raja Bell...I think Joe Dumars needs to sign him right now...this instant...no waiting...screw Carlos Delfino...screw Jon Barry...I want Raja "The Microwave Mark 2" Bell backing up Rip Hamilton...

peeler is a good shooter.

the raps need 2 resign rafer alston, hes bout ready 2 be a starting pg. Every game he started he played well. At the end of the season he was playing extreemly well avg 18 8 7.

I think the raptors are gonna have to sign another guard for sure, 4 just isnt enough, but since when did rafer average 18, 8 and 7?

by **rudogg33** on Sat Aug 02, 2003 1:27 am

last 5 games of the season, when a. williams was hurt.
Rafer did his thing last yr, 8 ppg 4 ast off the bench but when he started he put up good numbers especially at the end of the season.

So In Essence, The Bucks traded away Sam Cassell & Tragic Johnson for Joe Smith Da Stiff...

Some one get me a pillow.

Toronto has need to use Mengke...he's a good player-so is Wang Zhizhi!

Why don't their teams give them GT??

That sux!....same with Kareem of LA!

raptors will be 50-22 in upcoming season.

by **magius** on Sun Aug 03, 2003 2:55 am

bucks also traded ray allen for basically desmond mason and a pick........ ouch.

by **MC Hao** on Sun Aug 03, 2003 3:03 am

mason could turn out better, who knows.

my ass, 50-22, first that is only 72 games :lol:

and if i remember correctly there is 82 games in a season :roll:

and second with 50 wins they would be at the top of the eastern conference as detroit had a 50-32 record, and i highly doubt toronto can do that, i predict them at maybe 44-38

thats a good joke....72 games in a season :lol:

Raps may play the same ball as in 2000-01....but not in next season.

by **Vins15** on Sun Aug 03, 2003 4:49 am

its too early to tell..the training camp isn't even started yet and there's alot of things that can stop them from going to the playoffs...mainly too much injuries..so if they win like 46-36 it'll be great improvement..and yes howcome i haven't heard an offical annoucement about the signing of Anothny Peeler..

Because he hasn't officially signed yet. :wink:

I'm not going to make an exact prediction of the Raptors' record, except to say it will almost certainly be good enough to earn a playoff appearance.
