TJ Ford is an extremely talented young man, with quickness like not to many others. He is courageous, cocky, and skilled.He did have trouble last year because of his size, and the position he plays (Chris Paul the exception), normally takes longer to develope. Some of his boneheaded passes made me throw stuff at the TV at times however. But that's all part of the maturation process.The old adage is you have to give up value to get value certainly applys here. Charlie V is a solid big man who plays a position the Bucks sorley needed to fill. He has several years left on his rookie contract, and has never had a serious injury. Combined with Bogut, this tandem should work well together for years to come.I am all for this trade, and I am sure Larry Harris isn't done yet, what with Mags still with us.Bell/MoReddSimmonsCVDrewThere were a couple of games last year if you recall where TJ got hurt and ran right into the locker room from the court. He may be healthy and never be bothered again, and I certainly hope that is the case. However, an injury like that you will always wonder.Either way, moving foward, this is a great move IMO, one that will reap dividends now and in the future.
I don't know. When I heard about this trade at first I was thinking hmmm this could help both teams but now I don't really like it because Charlie V was doing such a good job and I thought the Rapters were going to build around those two for years to come but I guess thats not what they had in mind. Anyways CV will indeed be a great fit for the bucks and I believe they will return to the post season while the Rapters are once again sitting at home. Heres a good question. Do you think CW leaving will effect Bosh's choice to stay in Toronto or not?
I don't think so. Bosh and TJ are good friends who played against each other in HS. This trade helps Toronto because it lessens the log jam up front in addition to getting them a PG they so desparately needed.It works out well for the Bucks as well because now you can put Bogut where he belongs, and you have a PF with soft hands who can be on the recieving end of some of Drews great interior passes.I love the trade as a Bucks fan, and as for the Raptors, it allow's them to play their number 0ne pick right away.Bosh and Ford will be an exciting duo. From my perspective, advantage Bucks.All of this and we still have Mags to dangle out there for other teams.
