It rips off the Mavs. I don't think the Mavs would do a straight change of Kurt for Antoine (if the salaries matched) let alone having to take back two bad contracts plus Kurt for Antoine.

Is Laydan the GM for both the Raptors and Mavs at the time of the trade?

Houston is a guard-forward? Is this author a comedian? What team would play someone at a forward position who gives you 2 rebounds per 40 minutes?

Houston switches to the small foward position plenty of times, all pending on who is guarding him, and who he is guarding, and who is in the Knicks lineup. If you see a 3 guard lineup of Marbury, Frank (Or Craw) and Houston, then Allan is going to be playing the 3.

One nice thing about 82games.com is you can check how many minutes a player plays at each position. This year, Houston played 1% of the team's minutes at SF and last year it was less than 1%. (He's actually played slightly more PG than SF). Calling him a forward is a bit of a stretch. Maybe if several players are injured, he could be an emergency forward. Mike Sweetney actually spent more time as a center and TT spent more time as a PF than Houston did as an SF.
