I forgot about him.......Whats his contract worth?  Isnt it around 60 mil or so?

$30mil, but obviously so far he hasnt been worth it. But, at the time it we would have been starting Channing Frye at the C as we didnt have Eddy Curry or Antonio Davis, so Isiah sorta had to sign James. We got lucky after with EC and AD. Curry's heart condition was a worry for me too, but he has been cleared to play, and all in all he only missed like 20 games last season from it. The 8 mil for Curry is not a problem to me, because there arent that many dominant young big men around (Amare, Bosh, Dwight Howard, Okafor, Yao) so if you have one, give him the money he deserves. Crawford is worth his money half the time, then the other half I could do better.

Anyways, the reason the deal never got done before was Babcock thought picks were VERY valuable, and if you look at his resume he never really traded a pick. Toronto needed to focus on Bosh, and by clearing up more capspace this shows a real committment to keep him, and possibly James. So I do think it made sense for Toronto in some sense, but I still feel NY got the better. Jalen Rose was never gonna be around long term, so better to get him outta the flow now...

who knows, AD will probably get released and sign with Chicago again... PLANT anyword from Davis yet about his playing situation?

Eddie G.:
Raw deal for the Raptors ???

The player has 48 hours to report to the team after they've been traded. The Raptors play tomorrow so we will see if Davis is in the house. ??? Im kinda doubting he will even play for the Raps tho, considering his history here and all....
