My personal favorite is Crime and Punishment. I agree with Raps Fan, we need a scoring three who can create his own shot. Garbaojsa and Graham can't do that and I doubt Graham is part of the Raptors long term future. Lewis would be a great fit for this team. Great book, great post. My personal favorite is Crime and Punishment.

You guys don't even have problems compared to us. Our star player has yet again littered the local media with talks of a trade. He did this last year. I'm really getting fed up with his attitude. Yeah, he averaged over 30 points a game this season. Sure he has had a sickening number of 50+ point games. But quite frankly, none of that junk has helped our team. Who is he? Yep, the great Kobe Bryant. He is an awesome player and probably the most talented player of our age, but he's not helping us win rings. End of story. So do I want him traded? I'm not sure yet. But believe me, we may have a better team without him. Don’t worry. You guys don’t even have problems compared to us. Our star player has yet again littered the local media with talks of a trade.
