Post has been modified to reflect recent transaction in bold


And as of 10-25-07 completes throwing away 2 2nd round picks for absolutely nothing.

In a three-way trade: Portland Trail Blazers traded Chris Dudley to the New York Knicks; NewYork Knicks traded John Wallace to the Toronto Raptors and a 1st round selection in 1998 to the Portland Trail Blazers; Toronto Raptors traded a future 2nd round selection (top 50 protected until 2012 with no protection afterwards) to the Portland Trail Blazers.



How in The H.E. Double Hockey sticks does he protect a 2nd round pick for 15yrs and then rationalize giving away 2 unprotected first round picks along with 2 unprotected 2nd round draft picks like Halloween candy for a 1-dimensional overweight Jabba Da Hutt?



Whoever defends this Cluster ****** GM should have a Cactus shoved up their Bunghole.




We have the worst GM ever in all of of sports for eternity. There will never be anyone else to supersede him.

Wow. Dude, you don't just casually come across stuff like this. You must be combing through Zeke's entire history to dig these things up. That's dedication. The Mafia salutes you.

Wait, so you're saying that Zeke knows that you're *allowed* to protect draft picks? His ignorance to the matter was the only explanation. Now there's none! What a clown.

That kind of dedication brings a tear to my eye.

LOL, you really are a jackass. That trade was made in 1997. Thomas had nothing to do with it.

Thomas was in Toronto at that time. It took me a while because I looked at it from a Knicks perspective, too.

Yes he was the trade was consumated on October 10, 1997 and our witty GM was still there

He quit as GM the right before the summer of 1998.

I looked at it from a Raptor point. He stepped down as GM during the 96-97 season. He operated solely as president. He completely left the organization in the fall of 1997.

Not the correct way to look at it.

I know that reference well. But Thomas left his duties as GM after he traded away Stoudamire in Feb. to the Blazers who acquired Dudley for Stoudamire. He cited health concerns relating to stress but the Raptors owners asked him to stay on until they could find a perm GM. He stayed on as president. He finally left the organization in Nov. 97. I forgot the interim GM name, I don't think it was Babcock but Thomas was out of the loop when that trade went down.

LOL Thomas wasn't the GM who traded away Stoudamire Son

1997-98

All optimism evaporated when the team was hit by numerous injuries in early 1997-1998 season. Although Thomas was a Hall of Fame point guard and skilled evaluator of talent (as evidenced by his selections of Damon Stoudamire, Marcus Camby and Tracy McGrady), his failed ownership bid for the Raptors led to his resignation. Glen Grunwald, a lawyer and former All-American basketball player was then hired as the Raptors' General Manager. With the exit of his mentor, Stoudamire immediately sought a trade and on February 13, 1998, Toronto's first "franchise player" was shipped to Portland along with Walt Williams and Carlos Rogers for Kenny Anderson, Alvin Williams, Gary Trent, two first-round draft choices, a second-round draft choice and cash. Kenny Anderson refused to report to Toronto and was subsequently traded to the Boston Celtics on February 18, 1998 with Zan Tabak and Popeye Jones for Chauncey Billups, Dee Brown, Roy Rogers and John Thomas.


Thomas was still acting as GM and President at least until the 17th game of the 1997-1998 season which would have been somewhere around December

1997/98: After 2 seasons of optimism things fell apart for the Raptors. The troubles started early in the season with a slew of injuries to Popeye Jones, Marcus Camby, Carlos Rogers, Walt Williams and Zan Tabak, which led to an early 17-game losing streak, which buried the Raptors in the first part of the season. The struggles as well as an ownership change led Executive Vice President Isaiah Thomas, whom many considered the heart and soul of the organization, to severe his ties with the team. As the season wore on the Raptors even severed ties with their young budding star Damon Stoudamire as they traded him to the Portland Trailblazers along with Walt Williams and Carlos Rogers for Kenny Anderson, Gary Trent, Alvin Williams, a couple picks and cash, after Stoudamire indicated he would not re-sign following the season. The Raptors were not done trading yet, as they sent Anderson, Popeye Jones and Zan Tabak to the Boston Celtics for rookie Chauncey Billups, Dee Brown, Roy Rogers and John Thomas. With all the tumultuous changes it was not surprising that the Raptors struggled finishing in last place with a horrible record of 16-66.


Once again the trade was consumated


New York Knicks as part of a three-way deal in which the Toronto Raptors received John Wallace from the Knicks, and the Blazers received a 1998 lottery-protected first-round draft pick from the Knicks and a future second-round draft pick from the Raptors on 10/10/97


That's before the 1997-1998 season got underway and ISAYUGH was still calling the shots.


I'm going to send Guido to your house tomorrow with a Cactus to get the job done. Enjoy and I hope you live through it.

I stand corrected and apologize for the jackass reference. It was I who was the jackass. I always remembered Thomas saying the stress of Stoudamire and Camby infighting led him to leave. I thought it was 97. I never gave him credit for the John Wallace trade for Dunley. Change alot of perspective that I have about Thomas too.
