    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Toronto Raptors traded Eric Williams and Matt Bonner to the San Antonio Spurs for Rasho Nesterovic on Wednesday, Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo told ESPN.com.

    The deal allows the Raptors to fill a desperate need at center without damaging the team's cap flexibility this summer.

    The Raptors looked at the free-agent market this summer and probably felt like they'd have to overpay on a five-year deal for a center.

    Nesterovic has three years, $23 million left on his contract.

    The Raptors should have roughly $12 to $14 million in cap room this summer.

    For the Spurs, they rid themselves of a center that's been largely ineffective for them and gain longterm cap flexibility. Both Williams and Bonner's contracts expire next summer.</div>

    No, teams can trade right after their season ends as far as I know.

    You can trade once your season ends.

    I think rašo nesterovič will now have much more chance to prove him self as I amazing defence center. About SAS... I don't think they lost much 'cos he didn't really fit into their game.

    I think that Rašo will prove how well he can play in new team and in augusts world championship.
