Well... they just traded for B-Jax and Raul Lopez. I don't think they're looking for another point guard, and point guards for centres trades usually don't go well for the team losing the size, but maybe you're right.
Edit: and signed Damon Stoudamire.
In any case Duhon is a player that won't force shots. He is not a good shooter. Calderon and Alston are both nice shooters, so it's a good contrast.
I still think it's suspect that this rumour is true, though. There aren't enough minutes to go around with these three on the same team. Somebody's going to be unhappy.

Maybe if this works out, Babcock has a deal in the works that would send Rafer to the Cavs.

Re: Confirmed: Toronto signs Chris Duhon to offer sheet
The Chicago Tribune had a conference call with the Bulls GM John Paxson, who confirmed that Duhon has signed an offer sheet with the Raptors.
Quote:
Chris Duhon has signed an offer sheet with the Toronto Raptors, but in all likelihood the Bulls restricted free agent will suit up at the United Center this fall, Bulls general manager John Paxson said Monday.
"It's highly likely that we will match the offer," Paxson said in a conference call with reporters. "Relatively, in the scheme of things, it's not a lengthy deal and it's money we've allocated for Chris."
The offer from Toronto is believed to be worth no more than $2.5 million a season for three years. Paxson's initial offer to Duhon was in the range of $6 million over three years.

Good find. This is what I was afraid of. Paxton is probably going to pull what we did on the Hornets last year. If Paxton does decide to match, until it's official, it'll put the Bonner signing on hold. It might even keep us from signing him later on.

Re: Confirmed: Toronto signs Chris Duhon to offer sheet
I dunno why everyone is so excited about this. Duhon is a restricted free agent and we only signed him to an offer sheet. As Turkish Delight pointed out, mo pete signed a two yr offer sheet with the Hornets last summer and guess what team did he end up playing for. The Bulls will likely match the deal, sure Duhon is not the top point guard in the NBA, but 2.5 M per season to keep their starting point guard, is still a real good deal.

I hope you pitch faster than you post. I beat you by several minutes on this one. Even changed the thread title.

Any chance the Raptors can counter with another offer ?

Re: Confirmed: Toronto signs Chris Duhon to offer sheet
Lol, good timing spurious. 
Anyways, McF--no, I think once the Bulls match the contract, Duhon is signed for good. No more offers. Might be wrong. |

Re: Confirmed: Toronto signs Chris Duhon to offer sheet
I think a few here were all for drafting Duhon a couple of years back with our 2nd Round pick.
Looks like they may still get their wish.
