    Big trade. Wright's not a bad player.

    This trade doesn't seem to do a whole lot for either team imo. It might actually make both teams worse.

    Chris Bosh is so leaving in 2010. It's just a matter of finding out whether he's going to New York, Cleveland, Chicago, or Miami.

    Raptors suck so much.

    How does it not do anything for the Raptors? What exactly are they losing? Nothing really.

    Interesting trade for both teams. The Raptors upgrade in talent, but they lose a lot of outside shooting with Bargnani and Kapono gone. But getting Belinelli was good compensation for that. Maggette's contract is also new and Warrior fans who have watched him this season feel he is quite overpaid. He's putting up 18 points, but only shooting 41% from the field, and has never been much of a threat from downtown.

    Both teams gave up on their respective prospects with the Wright-Bargnani move. I just don't know how Wright will play behind O'Neal and Bosh. I haven't watched too much of Wright, but I know he has been compared to Bosh in scouting reports. How will he add anything new to the squad?

    Bunk. We don't have our 09 2nd.

    BC isn't ready to give up on Bargnani yet, either.

    Hes not going to be out that long.

    Reminds me of Al Harrington's injury right before he was traded, amazing how quickly he healed after being traded, lol.

    This rumor is 100% bogus. The author of that blog is an assclown troll who just annoys various Warriors boards (until he gets banned).

    Like it for raptors, they finally get someone who truly creates his own shot
