    some twitter thoughts from simmons and stein who are gaga over this trade...

    @STEIN_LINE_HQ Don't agree that Peja's expiring was an asset. Best-case trade scenario... J-Rich? Diaw? I'd rather have Jack + saved $$$$.

    I'm told Raps, meantime, did deal w/intent to play my man Peja. But deadline is 90-odd days away. No shock if his expiring deal moved again

    I think Bayless just realized his NBA destiny: good stats on an awful team. RT @buruzoth what's your reaction for the Raptors?

    But Hornets DID give up first-rounder for Bayless and now part w/Peja asset. Must see getting under tax line/adding Jack as too-tasty combo

    Since Bayless can't be included in a multi-player deal prior to Dec. 23, its two deals with Bayless for Andersen and Peja for Jack & Banks.

    No chemistry concerns for red-Hornets because A) I'm told Bayless was not fitting in so hot and B) Jarrett Jack, as stated, beloved by CP3

    That Hornets trade was brilliant. Saved them serious cash ($11m including tax) + Jack will really help them as a 3rd guard. Kudos to Demps.

    @sportsguy33 Unless sale of Hornets finally goes through and new owner would have said in JAN or FEB: "OK. I will absorb Iguodala contract."

    Amazing. New Orleans gave up on him fast. I'm still waiting for him to score 18-20 ppg....

    It's not like Monty didn't know what he was getting with Bayless. I think this move is really part of a total mindest change in NO. Thanks to their good start, it's like they are suddenly in a "Win Now" rather than a "Build for the Future" mode. So, I guess they'd rather have a proven vet like Jack than a younger prospect like Bayless. With a young guy, you always worry they will make a dumb turnover at a critical moment that will cost you a game. But, isn't that kind of what Jarrett Jack is known for?

    He already did - in summer league.

    Jarrett Jack on steroids says Kevin Pritchard.

    In reality, his ceiling is Tony Delk.

    The Raptors gave up on the season on July 8 when Chris Bosh announced he was hitching a ride on the Coat Tail Express and following his buddy LeBron to Miami.

    Toronto missed the play-offs the last two seasons (in the East, no less) WITH Bosh. Did anyone think they actually had a chance to make the play-offs without him? No. They are in total rebuilding mode - and will be for quite some time.

    Maybe he meant Jarret Jack after abusing steroids for 15 years.

    Raps now have to choose between Barbosa & Bayless to play behind Calderon. That is a seriously shitty PG situation. Good thing we passed on Brandon Jennings.

    Maybe Jerryd will surprise people, but he's got a long ways to go before anybody would trust their offense to him.

    Seriously. What the hell is up with the no headband rule that so many coaches seem to have.
