Its gona pay off bigtime for Toronto, trust me.  Chris Bosh is coming into his own, and Rafer Alston is doing a great job this year.  Add Shareef into the front court with Bosh, and Anderson in the backcourt, they will be fine.

Now what most of you dont realize it that this is a money dump for Toronto.  Jalen and Vince both have years left on some 90 plus mil dollar contracts, while Shareef, Anderson and Van Exel only have one year left.  Expect Toronto to make some major moves before the trade deadline or in the offseason.

EXACTLY homie. all this is a money dump. Carter and Rose have 2 FAT contracts, I think Rose is even making more then Carter ???. But Carters got 3 years left and Rose has 2, and the players Toronto are getting back in return all their contracts end this year, so the raps could be lookin at like 25 mill cap space, that's huge!. Either way though it's a shitty trade for the present time, but it could be really bright for the future with all the cap room...

lol at everyone thinking this is bad for Toronto, VC's stock has dropped, they aint doing shit in Toronto. Gaining Shareef basically means their season is over, and they will go back to the lottery... give Toronto 3 seasons and they'll be decent...

In 3 years Rahim will be 32 years old, Anderson 34 and Van Exel 37.

In 3 years, none of those players will be there, thats the point. They are expiring contracts, the team will do poorly with Reef at the core and Bosh playing out of position, = lottery picks = good future  8)

The Jamal Crawford thing is different for the Bulls, that was the right move to free up cap space.

But overrated? Get the fuck outta here...

He's playing well, make sure you vote Marbury/Crawford for your starting Eastern Conference ALL STARS!!! Ariza and Korver at the foward spot ;) lol

Carters worth nothing to the NBA now except for fans, he will never lead a team to a championship.
