The deal gives the Raptors a sorely-needed second offensive weapon behind Vince Carter.</div> I'm sure your gonna move this to the other forum, but I think people would talk about this more in here... .
Never, ever come here first to start threads, always team forums. This is a Toronto headline, so that is where it is headed.

Im so Happy. Now we need to trade Mo or Lammond for a big man. I still wouldnt do a Mo for Harrington.
Man the Bulls are stupid. Trading Jalen, and a player who is just getting better (Lonny). In return, washed up Davis, Jerome Williams and Chris who?
The Bulls were thinking less is more in this trade, getting rid of Rose, who is a cancer anyway is a plus. MVPlaya, head to the Bullas forum and start a topic in your own words for the Bulls fans, sum up the deal, lets see how you can cover it.
Awe man!!! Not JYD I was really hoping they wouldn't trade him. We just traded our two best rebounders.This my come back to haunt us. It was time for AD to go.How many years left on jalen rose's contract?
great great trade for us !!! I lllllllove it .. rose second scorer .. and a very underrated passer ... Marshal .. a player who is getting better and better every single season .. and Baxter .. a good role player as a Power Forward !! .. I ain't sorry for losing Davis who woesn't wanna be here, or Jefries who is absolutly USELESS ! I really liked JYD .. he loved the city here and the people .. and did alot for the community.. but hey .. this is business .. and if it makes the team better.. go for it BTW .. JYD and Davis won't play tonight as expected
two questions r coming up for Raps organization now : 1) Who's gonna rebound ? 2) who's good enough to play centre ?
hmm...glad we got rid of AD, who didnt want to be there...but now we have noone in the middle. that kinda hurts. doneyll and jalen give us lots of scoring, but we have no center. dear god...please keep othella harrington OFF the raptors team PLEASE!
The Raptors are going to rely on Marshall and Bosh to do the majority of the rebounding. Moiso will get a chance to play a lot of minutes at center and the Raptors will likely make another deal to acquire a big man. The Raptors are going to have an interesting lineup on the court. I think Jalen Rose is going to be the point guard for the team and will initiate the offense. Potential Starters: PG - Rose SG - Carter SF - Marshall PF - Bosh C - Moiso The Raptors definately improved their team in this deal by adding much needed scoring. They should be done with their 60 point performances for the rest of the season.

Jerome will be missed because he really was a class act and loved being here. But he's a role player at best.. I still remember him driving to Toronto from Detroit on the night that he was traded instead of waiting a day or so to fly in. So now, about that point guard problem...
