The Three Man Weave talk rehab and return, regarding Derrick Rose and Paul George respectively, while wondering when the real Raptors squad will stand up. Hosts of TSN 1050's 1 On 1 With Will & Duane, Will Strickland and Duane Watson are joined by Below The Hardwood host and 1 On 1 producer Ryan Henry. While they wonder where Rondo will leave the Big D and if we've seen the last of Larry Sanders.

The Toronto Raptors won four games in a row, then lost four games in a row, which team will show up in April?

Strickland: At this point, it feels like a roll of the dice. Coach Casey may need to sacrifice a couple wins for team health games and rest Kyle Lowry from time to time over the next month while preparing the rest of the squad for the playoff drive. If not, homecourt advantage will mean very little as #WeTheNorth could get deep sixed early.

Henry: Every team faces these stretches especially in this part of the season. April is still a long time away for a team that has currently lost its "fight to the last breath" DNA they developed early in the season.  I still believe this team will rediscover its magic beforehand. A season-worn but motivated Raptors team will be ready for the playoffs. Luckily, they won't have to face a Western juggernaut unless they make the Finals.

Watson: I don't know, but they have to figure it out. They need to establish if defence and ball movement are going to be pillars to their game in addition to scoring, while Coach Casey will need players to emerge in order to solidify his rotations. When they're on, they look great and give cause to question how far this team can go, when they're off, well...

What's next for the Chicago Bulls and Derrick Rose?

Strickland: Despite the facade of optimism on Lake Michigan regarding Derrick Martell Rose after his latest knee injury and successful surgery, his future as a marquee player looks to be done. The playoffs are seven weeks away; Rose's physical rehab is expected to be 4-6 weeks. But the real concern is Rose's mental and emotional rehab as he massages his soul due to the overwhelming weight of expectation on a team built to win now and a window on his hometown title dream closing rapidly.

Henry: With reports of Rose expecting to be back before the end of the season. It looks like the era of Rose will continue. I'm not at all convinced it will make a difference. The Bulls should start to consider moving on before this turns in to an eerily similar Brandon Roy situation. Three seasons have been lost waiting for Rose to be that guy again. The window is closing. As for Derrick maybe he can get advice/help from Grant Hill and find ways to resurrect his career.

Watson: Rose may be on the mend, but as we saw last season, his mental adjustment to being healthy was a bigger issue with his return than the physical. There is no way he will return as the same Derrick Rose and can he change his style of play and still be effective? Too many questions, particularly for a team that is in win-now mode, they've shown they can be pretty good without him. I think that's a good signifier.

As his stay looks short in Dallas, where will Rajon Rondo land next season?

Strickland: On a squad with more than enough capable primary ball handlers in Monta Ellis, Devin Harris, JJ Barea and even Chandler Parsons, this marriage never looked to be a lasting affair in Maverickland. Rondo's most recent clash with a head coach basically packed his bags for Sacramento in the off-season. George Karl has a history of dealing with mercurial players like Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp, so that experience may come in handy with Rajon Rondo and DeMarcus Cousins plying their trade and kicking up dust together in Northern California.

Henry: It's only February. The Mavs have plenty of time to turn this ugly situation into a positive. Rondo and Carlisle are two strong minded individuals who share the same drive to win. They also have the ability to forget and move on. Let them work out the kinks of this still-new core. If the Mavs enjoy a long playoff run or win it all, I wouldn't be surprised to see Rondo stay in Dallas next season.

Watson: It may be a little too early to say he won't be in Dallas next season. Rondo is a surly player at the best of times, so friction is expected. But winning cures all and if they make a push in the playoffs, he may see there may be no better options than staying where he is.

With Paul George engaging in full practices, does his return make the Indiana Pacers a scary low seed match-up?

Strickland: Scary? No. Intriguing? Yes. The narrative of the fallen hero coming back to save what days are left for the current iteration of Pacers is a nice one that ultimately fails, even if it comes to fruition.

Henry: Not at all. Even with a healthy Paul George last season, the Pacers fell short of expectations. Stephenson is gone and George has an uphill battle to climb in his comeback journey. He might hinder the Pacers rather than help them in the playoffs against a top eastern team like the Cavs, Raptors or Hawks team. They may put up a fight game in and out but a scare......No!

Watson: The Pacers have been scary all season, but not in a good way. If Paul George is 75 per cent of himself, he makes a significant difference to this team. The lower half of the Eastern Conference playoff bracket is a free for all, and they can fit into the equation. However, this will be the only place you see the words "Pacers" and "invoking fear" in the same sentence in 2015.

Do you think Larry Sanders will play in the NBA next season?

Strickland: Yes, but with help. The distance between Perceptions and Realities in regard to what was really going on with Sanders is vast. Kudos to the young man for caring enough about his mental health issues of anxiety and depression to step away from the allure of fame, fast life and fortune that can come with being an NBA player. A veteran team with a highly respected coach and relative organizational stability would be ideal for Sanders' eventual return.

Henry: Larry Sanders will not return to the NBA next season. After watching his tell-all in the Players Tribune, it looks like he will take an extended period away from the game. The issues that he is experiencing are not a quick fix. It will require more than half a season to heal. However, I do see the love of the game empowering him to return at some point down the line.

Watson: From a talent perspective, if his head and heart were in the right place, Sanders would appeal to numerous NBA executives, but his perspective shows that basketball isn't a priority for him. Which is entirely fine, but a love for the game, is much more questionable, and can take longer to rehabilitate from than an ACL injury.
