i think there's less chance that mo gets a sign and trade because of a whopper contract than a team wanting to watch its pennies and upgrade a bad asset (that we'd take from them for consideration)

but the mike/yell forecast is fair and much depends upon on what is being offered back. i'd bet that we were offered sign and trade deals for both of them but what was offered back was less valuable than their cost against the cap/tax/whatever.

i think grant hill would be an excellent signing for us. even better (is there such a thing as better than excellent) if he'd do a two year deal. adding a high-quility player and man like hill and keeping the team intact would make for a very solid summer. (and of course garbo healing 100% and bosh losing that planter problem)

jr smith hasnt fallen out of favor with george karl, hes actually the best three point shooter on the team. doubt he would get traded, especially after a breakout year.

of course he just was in a car accident and everyone is just trying to find out how serious it is right now.

The raptors like so many other teams seem like they need the services of Marcus Camby. The raptors are one of the few teams I think have the assets to trade for the defensive player of the year.

A sign and trade of Mo Peterson and TJ Ford for Camby straight. The East is going to be wide open next year, weak as ever. Add Camby the the raptors probably could make a serious run towards the finals.

i think the raps could make a serious run for the finals anyway. i'm not much of a marcus camby fan, as you might guess- but you probably aren't either.

peace

nbanoitall

very untrue. I love his 12 rebounds and 3 blocks a game. He is a mistake eraser. It all comes down to basically the Nene and Kmart deals. Kmart isnt going anywhere. He either plays or he retires. Nene just got a new deal and he has impressed since. So he isnt going anywhere.

Marcus Camby simply has maxed out his value in Denver. Lots of teams need a center that does what he does. Toronto included. Denver doesnt appear to be contending in the next year or two. So you can expect the Nuggets to move camby this summer for more help for Melo down the road.

Basically the Nuggets play in a loaded western conference and dont have it easy out east like you guys.

Meh, we had our kick at the Cam-by. I think the team should explore other options that wouldn't handcuff them down the road.

I thought about this possibility as well. I don't know what Grant Hills minds set on right now, getting playing time or winning a championship, but if he wanted minutes I'm sure he'd get enough in Toronto. Last I heard (pure speculation) is that Hill is considering going back to Detroit.

could be like mike james and houston last summer.

add grant hill onto this team and we have the atlantic. a lucky year and that team's at the ecf.

ballocks

grant hill is the eric lindros/ken griffey jr of the nba. honestly, i think he's a nice guy and everything, but i don't understand why anyone would want him- especially if they're looking for him to become an important piece. it would be nice for him to suit up on nba live, but in real life it's a different ballgame. the guy is almost never healthy. he's had tough breaks, no doubt, but that doesn't really matter to me- i'm not opposed to him as a man, just as a player. why would any team that's looking for reliable production out of its wings even consider grant hill? the chances are far greater that he'll get injured again than he won't.

imo, grant hill is the ultimate "make-believe" player. i just hope we don't make any decisions this summer out of that mindspace. we've already taken on enough risk for one team. imo, it's now a matter of balancing that risk with security and reliability. grant hill doesn't qualify for the role, imo, and it's really not even close.

peace

I'm with you on Grant Hill but Ken Griffey will may hit his 600th HR this season. You don't do that with out playing a hell of a lot.

Obviously this team needs an athletic wing player, preferably one who can shoot the 3 also. I have these players in mind: Matt Barnes/Pietrus(most likely Pietrus as GS seem to prefer Barnes), and Desmond Mason. Mason doesn't shoot particularly well, but he's a veteran who understands the game. We can get the shooting coaches to help him get his ft% back to respectability and he would fill out needs nicely.

Ford/Calderon
Parker
Mason/Graham
Bosh/Bargs/Garbo
Rasho/Hump

Bring in a shooter off the bench. The guy on my avatar, Delonte West is actually a pretty good shooter and can replace Dixon and Jackson as our backup sg. He can handle pg duties too, and the best part is he's really underrated and underappreciated by the Celtics so he'll come in real cheap. Maybe all it takes is Joey Graham.

Kinda OT but I was surfing the net and came across this article saying a "potennial trade rumour" between the Raptors and Sixers. I'm sorry I cannot find the link because the browser shut down on me, and I forgot exactly where I was looking since I was going from 1 page to another. Anyways I read the article and the deal was something like this -

Toronto sends:
Joey Graham OR a S/T with Morris Peterson
along with Jorge Garbajosa
and also a future 1st round selection

While Philadelphia sends:
Andre Iguodala
and Steven Hunter

If something like that was to happen, what would you guys think?
