    <div>

    <span style="font-style: italic">Oct 29</span> - Barring a trade, Luke Jackson seems to be on the odd man out. There has been speculation that rookie forward Jamario Moon might be waived, or even veteran guard Juan Dixon.</p>

    </p>

    But the Raptors are flush at small forward, which Jackson plays, and are carrying just the right number of bigs.</p>

    </p>

    Jackson also stands to earn $798,308 US this season, which is not a prohibitive sum in terms of buying out a contract.</p>

    </p>

    Dixon, on the other hand, is in the books to make $2.9 million. -- <font color="#000000">Toronto Sun</font></p></div></div>

    I guess no matter who gets cut, some fans will be upset.</p>

    Luke Jackson will either be cut or traded. He just doesn't fit in...</p>

    I think they're announcing the cut around 6 PM today (although they supposedly have made the decision already). Jackson seems to be the logical cut.</p>

    They are going to announce it at six? What, like winning lottery numbers?</p>

    Anyways, my gut tells me that Moon is sticking around, but I think the CREAM rule means he is the one to be cut.</p>

    lol, the FAN said that the deadline for the cuts is at 6 today. So that's probably the latest we'll have to wait. If Jackson wasn't making so little, I think his guaranteed contract would secure his spot. But the Raps can easily absorb his deal if they don't think he can bring anything new to the roster.</p>
