Trade Rumors Swirling Around Mo Pete?28th December, 2006 - 5:52 amToronto Star -There are undercurrents to Mo Peterson's status that caused eyebrows to be raised when Raptor officials said about 45 minutes before game time last night that he wouldn't be in the lineup.The seven-year veteran and longest-serving member of the team is in the final year of a contract that will pay him slightly more than $4 million (U.S.) this year, making him one of general manager Bryan Colangelo's biggest assets on the trade market.League sources have told the Star that "several" teams enquired about Peterson's availability earlier this season when coach Sam Mitchell took him out of the starting lineup to give the job to Fred Jones.Teams starved for outside shooting ? New Orleans, Denver or the Clippers ? could have some interest in Peterson for his ability and his contract.http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/439...around_mo_pete/
New Orleans has had interest in Mo Pete for a long time. They were gonna offer Jamal Magloire for Mo Pete. I wouldn't be surprised if they traded him because they have a younger group of guards coming in such as Calderon, Ford, Jones, Graham, Parker. I think his time in TO is almost over. I wouldn't be surprised if he was dealt by trade deadline.
I actually had a feeling that he was going to be traded the same year as jalen rose but I guess im wrong. I think that Colangelo will definitely ship off peterson at least this year or during the offseason with a sign and trade. But he will be remembered most for his deeds in TO
Recent rumors link Mo Pete with the Spurs, do you guys think we could get anything of value from the Spurs?

I don't see him going with the Spurs, but it very well could happen.
I honestly dont see a single player from the Spurs that could help the Raptors, I wouldnt even want any of their draft picks seeing how it'll prolly be a late pick.
