Read the trade proposal again.Gooden goes to Indiana NOT the raptors.

I posted this on Cleveland boards and all the responses to this trade were positive.They were actually concerned about not giving much in this deal to get Artest.
The line up they are looking at is:

PG: Hughes
SG:James
SF:Artest/James
PF:Marshall/Varejao
C: Ilgauskas/henderson

Cleveland likes Artest , Eric Williams.
Artest and Eric like Cleveland.
Peterson, Eric and Aaron want out.
Indiana wants to deal Artest.
Indiana would like Peterson, Snow,Gooden,A.Williams because I think that they are Carlisle type of players.
The Raptors want to move Eric and Aaron.
Pollard is expiring and the Raptors like this.
The Raptors like Jackson as a prospect and I think they would like JONES due to his slashing ability and I think he is a fair return for Peterson at the SG spot.
Above all it works under the CBA and the Raptors do NOT give up any of their young players.
I hope that this answers your question.

pretty brutal looking for Indiana

Was going to say the same thing, they give up Artest, Fred Jones and Pollard, and get back Mo Pete, Eric Williams and Drew Gooden? Hardly fair for them at all.
