Can kiss goodbye any trade f jose to big D now

Quote:

The Pacers have agreed to trade PG Darren Collison and SG Dahntay Jones to the Mavericks for C Ian Mahinmi in a sign-and-trade deal.
Mahinmi gets $16 million over four years, the Mavericks get a starting point guard, and the Pacers clear up a logjam at the position, although we're not sure why they just gave Collison away. Collison should be a good fit in Dallas, while George Hill is now the starting PG in Indy, with Lance Stephenson set to get a much bigger role this season. In an update, the Pacers are now said to be trying to sign-and-trade for D.J. Augustin, which would send Hill back to a bench role, if it happens.

eitier find a different partner/keep him although has expressed he is unhappy with the addition better with this young core we amnesty him if we cant trade him and sign some vet back up or bring Uzoh back and perhaps Anthony Carter too but someone in the Anthony Carter mold who can actually shoot

Then we are looking at the PG PT as Lowry 33 MPG Uzoh 10 MPG 5 Carter/vet

Wouldn't be surprised if Houston shows interest in Calderon. Even Sessions is off the market now.

jose and amir for Dalembert anyone think that in the short run can help us and houston both? Amir started the year as our starting C and showed he can stay there and is better there as opposed to the 4.

**HKF** · 07-12-2012, 09:14 PM

Dalembert is in Milwaukee now.

Houston amnestied Scola trade Amir and bring in Scola a better scorer and as gritty as Amir.

Landry is officially a Raptor.

Welcome aboard, smart player that has shown a lot of promise. Hopefully being away from Carmelo let's him get back to the level of play we witnessed during his Rookie campaign and last year while Melo was down.

for 20 million i rather have JLin at 25million. better player, more exciting, and will keep the air canada center rocking. raptors sell out every single game with lin.

i hate how this organization spends money to bring in middle of the road players who won't contribute shit. this is gonna end up like turkoglou, kleiza.. even more stupid cuz we're trying to develope terrence ross and to lesser extent derozan.

**Porn Player** · 07-15-2012, 12:04 PM

3 year deal, it's fine, slightly overpaid but he's got talent and he's smart. Casey also wanted him, and that guy just keeps getting it right, so I trust.

Lin is nothing special and we have Lowry, who is infinitely better.

if the raps care about revenue, they would have spent the extra 5 mil to get lin. lin is every bit as good as lowry if not better, and he'll sell out games and merchandise. he would put toronto on the global map and bring in global corporate sponsors.

i believe casey is a good coach. but he tends to favor defensive players like lowry who are just a bulldog on defense. lin is the way better offensive player.

**Porn Player** · 07-15-2012, 01:34 PM

Lin is a nobody. He's hyped because of his ethnicity and his underdog story. Lowry is a superior player in every facet of the game.

The Raptors are a global team, the fanbase is huge and the ACC is one of the most packed stadiums come game time.

-James- · 07-15-2012, 05:51 PM

There is no way Lin is better than Lowry. Sorry, bro.

Weren't you the one that said Lin wasn't overrated?

seifer0406 · 07-15-2012, 06:55 PM

Lowry is just a much better fit for us than Lin. Lowry might be better but it's not like he's in a different class than Lin, I would say they are about even with a slight edge to Lowry. For the Raptors though Lowry is a much better fit because of his defense.

**Knick Killer** · 07-15-2012, 08:26 PM

Hell yeah he's overpaid but it's a nice addition. If Casey is a big fan of him then I'm thrilled to have him on board.

you mean on the main forum

i was saying he would keep up his production next year. he is overrated by some but most basketball fans have a realistic assessment of how good he actually is. even then, he is better than lowry. we just happen to be discussing in a raptors forum where most fans(except myself) see everything with homer glasses. not the first time i disagreed with the guys here. we disagreed about hedo and kleiza too.

weren't you the one who was saying asians were wack for making a big deal out of lin's success cuz you would never make a big deal out of a white guy having success? and then everybody put you at your place that we live in a world were white guys are the top of the food chain so no shit nobody would make a big deal? good times
