Baker's versatility as a combo guard is great fit for Triangle.

He should grow a stache and we could nickname him Ron "the Anchorman" Baker

Players don't like the Triangle (?) You can't find players to play in the Triangle(?) The Triangle won't work in today's NBA (?) |

Sorry everyone . . . but this just KILLS me.
 All of this supposed sex appeal of Rose and Jennings because they have SCREW that (!) 15 guys playing like Noah and Vujacic and Baker is what I want to see (!) |

But where's the evidence that Rose can ever do that (?) Does he shoot or defend or have the versatility (PG/G) that Baker is showing (?) Does he show up for preseason practices and games (?) My opinion: |

The comments about Baker on Poasting and Toasting are pretty damned funny. Like Chuck Norris.

It's been a few years since Rose has been even able to play so I don't know why you would forgo a little bit of a looksie. If you want to come to a conclusion before a game has even been played, have at it. Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program
