    A team with the worst record in the league is likely to have a fair amount of*bitterness brewing among the players. In other words, it's going to be hard to keep*anyone happy. The key is to figure out what's best for the long-term interests of the franchise, and in the Raptors case, the answer would seem to be less Jalen Rose (he may have skills, but with a -110 plus/minus, he's not exactly making a difference) and more of the rookies.

    The two most used units through 12/06 were:
    James/Peterson/Rose/Bosh/Araujo: -10 points in 73 minutes
    James/Peterson/Rose/Bosh/Villanueva: -10 points in 54 minutes

    While some more youth oriented rotations have produced a semblance of more decent results:
    James/Calderon/Graham/Bosh/Villanueva: +13 points in*43 minutes (3-1)
    James/Calderon/Peterson/Bosh/Villanueva: +13 points in*38 minutes (4-3)

    The main motive for giving Rose significant playing time may be to*improve his trade value, but with the exorbitant contract he carries, that might be a tall order even in the best of circumstances.</div>

    Have fun..........
