I'm actually glad he's gone from the Raptors. I always thought he was a ball hog, which was the only reason WHY he was scoring so much. I never felt he made the team better.

Did the Pacers really need Barbosa? :confusedshrug:

Allegedly they are making Collison the backup and starting Hill. Barbosa then become backup SG to George.

I think it shows they are serious about making a deep playoff run this season, as they obviously dont believe in Lance Stephenson for even 10 mpg.
If you wanted to develop Stephenson, it could hurt that a little.

[quote=G-train]Allegedly they are making Collison the backup and starting Hill. Barbosa then become backup SG to George.[/quote]No they aren't. That all stems from Indy's beat writer, he's got some weird agenda that they NEED to start Hill at the point (even though he's not a PG and the numbers back it up) since they traded for him. Vogel's said, in not so many words, that Collison's the starter.

Actually I have heard Vogel talk about Hill being a potential starter at least twice.
He isnt a true PG, but he is a good player. I'd rather start at good combo guard at the one, than a truer PG who has played as poorly as Collison in March.
Re: 2012 Trade Deadline deal: Raptors trade Leandro Barbosa to Pacers
George Hill can light it up.

What?
Re: 2012 Trade Deadline deal: Raptors trade Leandro Barbosa to Pacers
I think we'd be a better team with Hill starting at the point.
