| 3 first rounders this year....Methinks we won't need zo for more than 2 seasons. |

Well... Depends on what the Raps get on draft next year.
Not all first rounds turn out half decent. |

I like that deal.
He may not be 100%...and he's definitely past his prime...but Alonzo is a MUCH needed big body up front. Poor Bosh needs some help!
What's left on Alonzo's contract anyway? The idea was that we'd HAVE to take on equivalant salary if we trade Vince, but that someone with only a year or two left could then be let go, and we'd have a ton of cap room to sign a top notch free agent or two. Hopefully that's the case here too?
Two first rounders as well...nice. Let's give the new management a chance to work some draft magic and really scout some talent.
I know the other players by name, but that's about it...? |

I'm willing to bet Carter will get 20 PPG once again off Kidd's passes...if (a big if) he stays healthy.
Now that Carter is gone, there's no one exciting to watch in the Raps. If Bosh can consistently play as well as he did against the T-Wolves...he has a lot of catching up to do with his peers, Wade and Melo (Forget about Lebron, that guy is just light years beyond)
Good thing about not having a franchise star player, tickets will now be cheaper!! |

bottom line is .. look at the value of Carter and McGrady at their prime and look at what we've gotten back in return on this day. it's not encouraging ..
pls. pls. FIRE PEDDIE

oh, and the best part of this deal...although I know people will disagree...we kept Jalen.
I just read the contracts though......we're on the hook for a lot of years for a lot of $$$ :nervous: |

| Raps really gotta win at least a few close games. |

He made two baskets and then two from the line before Reggie nailed that last shot. If Jalen could give the Raptors 23 points every game, I think everyone would be quite satisfied ;) |

We lost the game by 3 pts?! WTF? Again?!! Geez...
That addition of Zo (if he decides to check in to Toronto, that is) is much more valuable than whatever Carter provided the team with in the few games he's played this season... They can finally give up on Loren Woods for a bit (thank god, that kid is weak).
And Eric + Aaron Williams combo is a solid addition... they're not big time scorers/shooters, but are pretty much bangers and hustlers on the court, a-la-Bonner style.
The only question remains - we shipped 1 guy out, got 3 guys in return. Who are the other 2 guys that will need to be dropped from the current roster to free up the room for the new guys? |
