TRADE ACCEPTED

So tell me what you think, would you do it and is it a fair deal?

I think its a great deal for Portland & NJ, and a OK deal for Minn... but a horrible deal for Toronto. IMO.


Minn. has Cassell, so I question if they'd want Kidd, his knee, and his contract.

Good deal for all involved...except Toronto. They would most certainly want more in return than Wally & Kandi.

Thanks Trader Bob!

Something I just threw together, I can see that it needs some tinkering, but the idea is there. Kidd doesn't want to come to Portland is what I am getting and Minnesota is interested. That is why they wanted Rahim in the first place. Now that Carter has asked to be moved......now you have my wacky trade idea!

Wally's contract is just so bad that i cant see the Raps agreeing unless you work in Rose going and another young player coming back the other way
