Knicks/Raptors Trade
« on: February 03, 2006, 01:49:34 PM »
The New York Knicks have acquired Toronto Raptors guard/forward Jalen Rose and a first-round pick in exchange for power forward Antonio Davis, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reports.

Davis was a likely target to be traded because of his expiring contract.

The Knicks have lost nine of their last 10 games.

Davis, who played for Toronto for four-plus seasons from 1999-2003, served a five-game suspension after going into the stands in Chicago during a confrontation between his wife, Kendra, and a fan. Davis played for the Bulls for 1˝ seasons after being acquired from the Raptors.

The 37-year-old Davis, who spent the first six seasons of his career with the Indiana Pacers, was averaging just 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 36 games for the Knicks.

Rose, who turned 33 on Monday, is averaging 12.1 points -- his lowest mark since 1998-99 with the Pacers -- and 2.8 rebounds in 46 contests.

I can see Davis for Rose but why throw in a 1st rd pick? It's not worth it.

Is this a joke?  What the hell are the Raptors thinking?  Why would they give up a first round pick?

First round pick > J.Rose + A.Davis combined. So the Knicks won.

yeah that's what i'm sayin, i don't understand the first round pick, it 's going to make the knicks better in the long run though, and it'll hurt the raptors

I feel sorry for you Raptor fans. If they can't re-sign Bosh they might not even be able to replace him through the draft.

raps head office is straight up sad. first they give up carter for basically no one and now they toss in a first round pick like its nuttin. IMO they underutilized rose as well. i hope CB4 leaves T.O. so we can see how good he really is.

it was a salary dump pretty much.  this way, toronto can free up minutes for joey graham and charlie V and they dont have to pay jalen 17 million next season.  They can use that 17 mil to resign Mike James.  BTW, I guarantee all you guys that Bosh will resign with Toronto.  Just wait and see.

Jalen Rose isnt doing shit for the Raptors, sure hes a big name, but hes the most overpaid player in the NBA and his numbers this year suck.  Do you guys realize Jalen Rose makes more money than Vince Carter does? 

Great move for Toronto, Im surprised they actualy got rid of Rose and his contract.  Not at all suprised it was the Knicks who agreed to take him.

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
      
The WCCWL is always looking for new members; take a chance at becoming a champ!! PM Mo Z. Dizzle if interested!!

Antonio Davis aint no fucking factor. He's like oldest fuck in the NBA. Why would you do it? WHY? A first pick means alot to the raptors, cause they will get an early pick, and look where they got Bosh (who you love so much) from. Plus even tho Rose is an overpaid fuck, he's still better than Davis. As far as I know, his contract expires after this season, so it's not like this can be about salary cap to (re-)sign other players.
