    Immediate speculation will centre on the future of Peterson.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The young swingman who has been playing well of late. Talks have already been held about a deal that would send him to the New York Knicks for Othella Harrington and another undersized power forward. The rumours are sure to begin anew.</div>

    Peterson for Othello doesn't work. The Raptors would have to add Micheal Bradley or Eric Montross. I dont think we ge enough for Peterson tho. Othello does have a nice post up game. But we dont need another 6'9 235 player. We need a 6'10-7'0 defensive center who can rebound and block shots. I wish we could get Brendon Haywood.

    god i hope we dont pull the trigger on this deal...othella is garbage. mo pete can at least have a positive impact on a game by draining some jumpers...othella cant do anything. streaky is a nice way of describing his game

    Othella isn't to bad he has a good post game. He did score 13.1ppg one season. If we gave him 25 minutesi could see him get 7-8ppg and 6-7rpg.

    I think Murray is closer to Othello's trade value, at least Mo-Pete still has some youth.

    Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
    Yet do I hold it very stuff o' the conscience
    To do no contrived murder: I lack iniquity
    Sometimes to do me service.

    I don't think that we Should trade for Othello. He sounds like a pretty angry dude. All this talk about being from "the moor" is a little overblown and I think that he's got a chip on his shoulder. I mean He?s admitting to having killed. I think that his attitude would hurt the team? What do you mean we?re not talking about Othello?! The thread clearly says "Peterson for Othello"! A typo? Who are we talking about then? Othella Harrington?! He?d be even worse than Othello!
