Sorry but a lot of people in this thread are crazy. Bosh has limits? Bosh shot one of the best FG%'s in the league and will be a top 15 player in the NBA when his time is up. Trust me in Gm's mind a lot of people would love to have Bosh on their team easily. In 2 minutes(in the 4th quarter) when losing by 5 or less Bosh shot 52.4 percent so calm your bum. Anyways, this trade is horrible and Maggette alone probably wouldnt get that package but you got to understand the Rpators wouldnt trade Maggette for 5 and Charlie either. (However, I dont think the Raptors would do this trade either. Maggette for 5 and Charlie)Sure Maggette is better then Charlie but I think the Raptors can get a better player with the 5th and Charlie because there are many teams out their desperately looking to trade their stars and rebuild. However, I agree the Clippers GM wouldnt do this deal in a mile. One thing I dont like though is people are saying defense wtf.. Who in the NBA plays hard defense? Charlie can block shots and he is actually alright guarding SF's in the league. I have watched Charlie for 82 games and trust me he is an alright defender for a rookie. As well, the Raptors have systematic issues? Whoever said that is crazy. Don't people say the Clippers have issues because they never want to sign anybody on their team? Please the Raptors did a good job in drafting Charlie. They easily can both play on the floor with no issues. Bosh + Charlie are not great defenders but they try and they are going to get better, and I dont see anything wrong with that. If thats something bad then I would love to have that problem.


O yea, and I don't value my players highly and I am a Raptors fan. What people dont get on this board is every single team has their homers. I mean yes their are homer raptors fans, but their are homer clippers fans.. look at this thread. All I am trying to say is that every team has their homers. This trade is horrible and any raptors fan who thinks the Raptors are the only team in this trade thats giving up a lot then they are crazy.

In the first part I was talking about the Charlie + 5 for Maggette that for sure would be too much for the Raptors as we are trying to mold are team and I dont think Maggette would be the right player for the Raps to target if they were going to make a trade like this.

However, the Charlie + 5 + Calderon for Livingston and Maggette? That I agree would be a big time steal for the Raptors and the Clippers GM would be fired in a second. I mean any good fan would know that the Raptors would win in this trade espeically if Maggette can stay healthy. Livingston is already a great defensive presences and a great point guard. So I fully agree with the point some clippers fans have made that this is a crazy trade for them.
