Who do you think would be a good trade for the Rapters? Who do you think they can get for Mo-Pete? Do you think the Rapters need to make a trade or are they fine right now?
I don't have anyone in particular but the raps need a big man. A PF or C to fill the lane. I don't think they would get a lot for Mo pete because I think it has to match salary wise. Maybe moving someone like Micheal Curry or Lammond Murray is a better way to go. MC is not productive in any way. They say he is great for the locker room, but so was JYD and they shipped him out. Lammond is a good scorer and may get good trade. He seems to be riding the pine now that the three new players are here.
I would Trade Peterson for Doleac and a 2nd or something but I wouldn't trade him straight up for Doleac or Harrington.
Toronto is okay right now. They have already received Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall from Chicago, and since the trade, they have been playing very well. So there's no need to mess up the chemistry that's going well for the Raptors.
are you crazy? trade mo pete? hes our sixth man, and playing really well. hes been as consistant as iv ever seen him play. iv always said a good role for mo pete is to come off the bench and knock down a few shots...give us an offensive spark from the bench, and hes doin that beautifully. we have LOTS of trade bait, murray, bradley, brunson, montross contract, hell, even moiso can be put on the trade block, hes obviously not a good fit in raptor land. raps should make a move for battie...he plays good minutes at center, and boston was shopping him around in the offseason...they could also use another scorer, so id offer up lammond for battie straight up
to address their need in the middle, the Raps will have to part with Jalen Rose. VC is untouchable and we all know it. Jalen and MoPete to Portland for Wallace. Makes sense and it addresses the immediate need of both teams You guys have to be crazy to think that GM Grunwald will actually pull the trigger on a trade again. He was basically forced to make the AD/JYD trade - more than likely from AD's annoying wife. The problem here isn't the players, its management, more specifically, GLEN GRUNWALD. If not for him, we could of had a more competitive product on the court, night in and night out.

He is like having an assistant coach who is also one of the players. He is too valuable to the Raptors at this point. I don't think anyone will take Lamond though, he didn't get enough PT to show people that he can play. Noone will take that salary off of the Raptors hands unless we take someone with a similar contract and skills, which is not even worth the time talking about
How about Lamond Murray for Jerome James? James is 7ft 2in, and might develope as a good rebounder. We need his height the most. How about Lorenzo Wright(grizzles), or Stromile Swift? They both can play center. Wright is 6ft 11in, Swift is 6ft 9in, but is a better shooter. I also like the deal for Tony Battie for boston. that would be a good trade, Tony's 6ft 11in. Lamond Murray for Tony Battie, do that any day!

Sorry about mentioning Swift, I'll try not to do it again. Sorry about spelling Wright's name wrong. Battie for L. Murray+Curry, would be a great deal.

Why would the Blazers give up a great player for Rose, who no one wants. Another huge factor is that Rose's contract is one of the worst in the league, while Wallace's is around 18 million in expiring. Do the Blazers really want another long and horrible contract? For you Raptors fans who seem to be a bit dreamy, the answer is no.

It took so long for the Bulls to get rid of Rose. No one wants him, not because of him, but of his massive contract.
Here are some more big men that might be a possiblility. Their just ideas. Tony Battie- 6ft 11in Jerome James- 7ft 1in Kelvin Cato- 6ft 11in Brendon Haywood- 7ft Lorenzen Wright- 6ft 11in Nene-6ft 11in Jahidi White- 6ft 9in Kurt Thomas- 6ft 9in Kwame Brown- 6ft 11in didn't mention S. Swift-hehe
there is absolutely NO way nene is a possibility...nuggs wont let him go...certainly not for anything we can offer. jahidi JUST signed in phoenix too
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting The Prophecy:</div><div class="quote_post">It took so long for the Bulls to get rid of Rose. No one wants him, not because of him, but of his massive contract.</div> err, like i said...someone does want him - the raptors
I've got a question. Do you think the rapters could get Darius Miles, for Morris Peterson and Michael Curry. Darius has the stats of Mo-Pete, and MC might top the deal off. What do you think? Its just a thought.
i think the cavs would be winning out in that deal big time. darius hasnt proved anything yet. hes just as inconsistant as mo pete, if not more so. id rather have both those players on my team then darius. i dont even think darius is on the trade block, but either way, hes not what we need
