why didnt they just draftv tyrus thomas--put him at C and go with CV Bosh and Thomas over the long haul---retain james????

i said on a Raptor board this guy si quickly becoming isiah thomas north

i dont know what to say anymore --that GM from NO is looking like the best young exec

Wow! I really like Ford but he's too much of an injury risk and CV had such a great rookie year. Using up $8 mil per for 3 years of Toronto's valuable cap space on Rasho Nesterovic makes zero sense also.

I hope Toronto was smart enough to negotiate to get a pick if Ford's back starts acting up.

if i am a Raptors fan i think i would be upset, but as a basketball fan i think this will work out for both teams.

Does this mean that they won't re-sign James?

I think this trade can work out really well for the Raptors, but Bargnani better be the real deal. I think Ford is a hell of a point guard. He was really the engine of that Milwaukee team. I kind of wonder what Milwaukee was thinking. You have to believe a Magloire trade is next for some sort of guard.

Hey, can we send them Francis or QRich for Magloire?

If Ford stays healthy, I like it for the Raptors.

Thats a hell of a gamble to take on Colangelo's part though. Value wise, they didn't do too well with this deal. Ford is a very good PG though. Raptors better hope he stays healthy.

i dont think you trade a big for a small--tj is over-rated and has a poor medical history. CV is a versatile 6-10 240 pound player who had some incredible succes his first year, including a 48 point game. the 1st pick in the draft as a LONG way to go to prove he is as good as CV/ if it was me, i wouldve kept CV and drafted Tyrus Thomas

i couldve had
F-6-9 220 Thomas
F 6-11 235 Bosh
F 6-10 240 CV for 10+ years

I'm with you on the Tyrus Thomas drafting. I think that frontline would have been so dominant that they could have waited to find a real PG. I also don't understand why they added Rasho and gave up Bonner for him. That's like two bad moves in one. But, so long as Bargnani is actually decent, I think TJ Ford and Bosh and Graham is a good nucleus. If Bargnani can at least provide them with outside shooting in year one, I think they will be much improved. To me, Ford was the reason that Bucks team made the playoffs. Heck, he had them at the 5th seed before he got injured in his rookie season. I don't think he's overrated.

I think CV is good, too. But the trade is somewhat surprising for Milwaukee to me because TJ seemed like their leader. Maybe there was some behind the scenes stuff, who knows. I'm guessing they try to get a PG of some sort for Magloire or with the MLE. I mean, Milwaukee's frontcourt of Bogut, CV and Simmons is pretty damn good, too.

look on the bright side if this deal dosent work out for toronto at least we'll be 4th place in our division instead of 5:D
