What about you guys making a play for Ben Gordon? Since the Bulls are about to take Derrick Rose.

Great trade for the Raps, but I had hoped they would have gotten rid of Sam M.

BG is nice but I don't like his ball-hogging tendencies. I know he's a good scorer but dude pulls god awful shots at times. Plus, I don't know ifwe have enough to trade for him considering TJ's going out the door now (not that he's the player to be traded, but his name's sort of up therewith BG).
I think it's a good trade for both the Raps and the Pacers now (if JO stays healthy). The Pacers are very active on this Draft night...I'm wonderingwhat's under Larry Legend's sleeve...

Too bad we're getting rid of Hibbert. I actually like him.
And whoever said fire Smitch and hire JVG, I couldnt agree more

I think they're making the pick for us and trading it afterwards, like what we're doing with our first round (not sure though.)

Yes we are.
We just wasted a draft pick on this Nathan Jawai bum. 1.8% chance that he even makes it to the NBA.

It would have been awesome to watch CDR and Andrea compete to see who can bench a plate and a five.
Can you even wear white whirts under your jersey in th NBA?
CDR gets to much credit, hes lucky to have played on a very taletned Memphis team.
Hes good but not as great like was made out to be. its appearent the GM's felt the same.

Wallace has 4 year 9.5 mil/year contract...and he is just as injury prone as TJ/JO...and that would still leave us with no big to help out Bosh/Andrea and fillthat defensive/rebounding need.
I still think the JO trade makes the most sense out of all the trades.
Moon can become what G-Force is...for less.

That's good that everyone is positive of the JO trade.
I think he was a player waiting in limbo a la Vince Carter with the injury-prone image all the same. He sounded relieved about the trade from that phoneinterview and looking forward with the Raptors. Hopefully, we'll have a "prove the critics wrong" season out of him.
One reason why I was sold to the idea was that a friend of mine pointed out that when JOs contract runs out in two years time, he will enter the free agencymarket frenzy. Players like Melo, Lebron, and Wade (I think) have their contracts run out and Bosh and Amare can opt-out.
The Raptors can't be certain that he will want to re-sign and we can't assume we'll quickly develop the 17th pick into a marquee player as well,this is Bosh's team. With all these uncertainties, the odds make the JO trade just more favorable.
The addition of O'Neal, too, adds some of that brash bad boy attitude the team needs. We got the new Twin Towers running now in TO. Look for Bosh to starttaking more 3s, haha.

I just hope O'neal can learn to play 2nd option after Bosh.

well another thing to get you guys riled up
Artest opts out
"I never knew so many teams would be coming after me," he wrote. "All I can say is I made a hundred degree turnaround."
Of course he may have meant a 180-degree turnaround, but you get the idea.
LOL not the smartest guy but hey!
i think the raps only have their MLE left but i think the other teams that covet him as well ie: the lakers or what not only have the MLE as well. I remember acouple of weeks back that he was 99% not going to opt out but the JO trade happens and he opts out, makes you wonder if the pacer connection has something todo with it..again its ALLLL speculation.
id go nuts if it happens though.
