he might be on his way to the Cavs.
and they might trade Bosh too before the deadline since he won't be signing an extension and may opt out.

PG Jose Calderon
SG Hedo Turkoglu
SF DeMar DeRozan
PF Chris Bosh
C Andrea Bargnani
STILL a playoff team
S P I C E:
^^Yes Parker is gone and I firmly believe Bosh will be traded before the deadline because everybody knows he isn't resigning with them after the season.

I agree with you regardless of whether or not Parker is there.
It's just the Bosh card that'll determine whether they can be a playoff team or not in my opinion.
RapAddict:
Because of the 4 team trade Raptors didn't have to renounce their rights to Parker, Delfino or Mensah-Bonsu plus they have the Mid-Level and Bi Annual Exemptions, so they could sign Parker still. That said I think he's going to Cleveland to try to win a Ring.
And I think Raptors will at least get to the playoffs if they spend their exemptions wisely, maybe get some Rebounding and Defense by signing Rasho, get some more toughness with a decent overall SF to back up Hedo like Kleiza and either a defensive specialist at the 2 or a backup point guard with the rest of the money. that's who and what I'd target if I was BC.
As for Bosh being traded I think Colangelo is trying to build a competitive team this year to convince bosh to stay in Toronto. From day 1 he's pegged bosh is the conerstone of this team and i don't think he's giving him up now. Although if the team sucks again this year bosh will be gone near the deadline.

Didn't know that about the rights. Maybe they'll sign Delfino then.
I think Parker and the Cavs are close on a deal, but you never know:
