Oh, I don't know on Rogers Paul.  I just watched him post up 265 lb,
6'-10" Predrag Drobnjak of the Sonics at will the other night.  Granted
Drobnjak is a rookie, but the guy is big, stong and mobile and Rogers
was able to toss him around like a sack of potatoes. As well, Rogers is
joining a team in the midst of a playoff fun so there is some extra
motivation to bring the intensity.

I'm a little skeptical. I think the post that sums up the talents of
these two players comes from Andy.

This is not the same player that the league saw two years ago. That was
Rodney's"carreer year." I've never been a big fan of Rodney Rogers

Delk and Rogers come off the bench and help. If you like three point
shooting, here it comes. Not many of you do but O'Brien told us what he
wanted and this move certainly spreads the court. You can't say he
didn't have a plan. I don't know...I think I'm just disappointed that
they weren't able to get Van Exel. Assuming they aren't going to get any
inside help rebounding or scoring, and I don't see this trade doing
that, I was hoping for a slam dunk at the offensive end. Van Exel
provides that. He also raises the offcourt entertainment level. And
they're looking forward to Omar Cooke? Omar God...whatever happened to
Joe Forte?

Maybe I just need more coffee as I'm a little hungover.
