--- Quote from: z_dizzle on February 03, 2006, 03:35:51 PM ---i liked the trade for different reasons:

first off itll clear salary; they can hopefully sign a couple of players wit that money

secondly wit rose gon, the raps can giv charlie v and joey graham more time to play

next, Davis has experience at center, an area where the Raps need help

as for the draft pick, that one does hurt a bit; but it came from Denver, who will most likely make the playoffs so theyd prolly use that pick near the end of the first round

Good points. But a first round draft pick? Damn. Denver better have a real good record by the end of the season.

This trade looks like it has no sense from both sides, honestly. The Raptors said last Tuesday, after they traded Aaron Williams for 2 draft picks "We are a team in transition and need to play our young guys". Ok mr. Embry. Then why you traded Jalen Rose and a fucking first round draft pick for a 37 years old guy? Basically they acquired Antonio Davis and two 2nd round draft picks (1 from Miami) for Jalen Rose, Aaron Williams and a 1st round draft pick (Denver's one). Fucked up. About the Knicks, like PLANT said, another 17 millions contract to add in the mix. Woa!

Because the raps aren't going to keep antonio davis in the off season. If they didn't make the trade they'd keep rose for about 2 years. The raps have 3 players that can opt out of their contract in the offseason even if they stay the raps will only be paying 36M to it's players. 24M if they all opt out. So finecally this is excllent and antonio is history in the offseason.

PLANT:
Yeah, even tho Toronto is giving away the draft pick, it will most likely be a late first round pick because Denver will prolly make the playoffs. 

On another note, it was a sad game tonight in Toronto.  The Raps beat the knicks and Jalen had to sit on the Knicks bench in his own house.   The crowd gave Jalen a standing ovation after the game and all the Raptors were giving him props.  Morris Peterson hit a buzzer beater at one point and pointed at Jalen.  It was crazy at the ACC tonight.  Bosh had 29 Points and Mike James had 16 points & 10 assists.

Even tho I think the trade was a good move for Toronto, Im going to miss seeing Jalen in the media and in a Raps uniform.

TobyTizzle:
Its a good move for the Knicks.

we addressed our biggest need: Small Foward. We have guys like Ariza, Woods, Lee playing SF when they arent ready yet for heavy minutes
we recieved another pick: so now we have 2 picks in the upcoming draft (both will be in the 20's) so its not so bad we gave a pick to Chicago
we cleared up playing time at Power Foward: more time for Channing Frye/Jackie Butler.
we got some money back: basically reduced Jalen's contract by $3million dollars with the money they threw in.

An extra $17million to the payroll for next season...who cares, it is James Dolan's money.

Rose will give us some sense of an identity, and hopefully fire things up a bit...
