The Toronto Raptors are about to send Vince Carter and Jalen Rose to Portland for Shareef Abdur Rahim, Nick Van Excel and Derek Anderson...
-
:( BADD BADD for Toronto... Poor bastards. Their franchise player is all they ever had :-\
-
Good for Portland.
-
Damn, that seems kinda unfair
-
Nick Van Excel

no playoffs for the raptors in the next 7 years.
super trade for portland, now darius can start and .. well the trade itself is unfair already.
-

I actually think this might work out for Toronto

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...
-
great trade for t-dot. Vince an Jalen 2 of the most overatted players in the league with huge contracts. Great trade.
-
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)
-
lol
-
Damn, can I get a confirmation on where this was heard? I'm in the Portland area and they ain't had nothing about this on the news or anything tonight. Is it official or what?
-
No official. I've seen an article on ESPN.com
-

tell the bulls that lol. Nothing has worked for them
-
Brad Miller, Elton Brand, Ron Artest for immature underachieving kids...
sounds good to me :-*
there is now talk of possible trades with the Grizzlies, Miami (eddie jones), and Philly...
-
Brad Miller, Elton Brand, Ron Artest for immature underachieving kids...
add jamal crawford to that list too, bulls have fucked up big time, they've had so many good players and just gave them away like their nothing, reminds me of the clippers, lol

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.
