He may be on a D-League Roster before he is on another NBA Roster. Miller vs Parker>> I'd take Miller too by a slight margin Ford for Side Show Bob...Can't be done for now as Varejao is not able to be moved as he is trade restricted based on Cavs matching offer sheet of the Bobcats. But I like the deal when it can be done. Raps won't get O.J Mayo and I wouldn't want him. I know he is talented but if people have issues with Ford's ego that is nothing compared to Mayo this guy is a problem waiting to happen. Sorry took so long to get back to you :D Already said my nickel worth about Maglorie I think he is done. He may be on a D-League Roster before he is on another NBA Roster.

For the mike miller trade he has a great permiter defence which the raptors need greatly. Mike miller i would take over anthony parker. What about tj our 17th pick for anderson varego. Is rebounding ability is suberb and his defence is fairly good. He would take some heat of Chris bosh also figuring the fact is stamina is very good. There are solid quolities about tj that teams would really need including denver. Maybe trading tj, our pick and rasho, and getting the 6th pick to possibilty getting oj mayo? I would love to hear your point of view Cheers, Hello

Thanks for Comments first off Cory. First I will take the easy one. Jamal Maglorie is done as far as NBA goes. He was a flop in New Jersey and had a brief time in Dallas. Realistically he has been done for awhile. There is a reason the Raptors have avoided Maglorie all these years. He peaked in that year he made East All Star team and never has got back to that level. Jamal Crawford is inconsistant player but has the ability to explode for big nights. I am not sold on him as a player but admit that others may disagree with that. Mike Miller would fit the Raptors system but in a sense just makes you have to move a player like Kapono or Parker. I would not add a first to get him based on that. Corey Brewer is the youngest and best option on this list you have given, moving forward. I like his game and he has poteintal to improve. Defence is part of his skill set as well. All this being said I think Colangelo is hanging on to both his point guards at least a little longer than majority think. He is trying to drive up the value he can get back in a trade and thus far is doing a good job of it. Ok Those are a lot of different issues. Thanks for Comments first off Cory.

Also, the raptors are missing a big, tough guy in the middle to take some weight off bosh's shoulders. I think that jamal magloire would be a good sign also knowing that he is from toronto and want to play her aswel. Dealing of tj a first rounder for mike miller? or tj for corey brewer and a second rounder. Let me no what you think. Cheers, cory I think that dealing tj for jamal crawford would be a solid deal.

Technically once 2 teams are elminated from play in the post season or fail to make the playoffs altogether they are able to make a trade. The roster freeze ends( You are able to Trade) when teams indivdual seasons do. One other note for James.

The choice of photo was based on thought on how T.J might feel about all the talk of him being traded. You have to think he is pissed by it. Shawn Marion claims he wants to stay in Miami. Justin you kind of answered your question Raptors can not afford Shawn Marion. I know he likes Toronto or at least did in talking with him years ago at Vince Carter's Charity game. But money and Cap wise this does not make sense. That being said a trade at some later point should Miami struggle again could be at least possible but not likely.

The reason there is interest now, is because everyone has shifted there focus to next season. I think you are right that people are talking for a reason, but I don't think they are making things up. Their is a big demand for quality point guards, and Toronto has two. I haven't read your blog before, but I can tell by your photo choice that you are not a TJ fan. By the way, I think a lot of the credit that has been given to BC for turning the franchise around should go to TJ. I hope we get something good in return, otherwise their will be some big time sellers remorse. Look at Millwaukee, w/ TJ a they were a playoff team w/o they are Miami. Did you notice that TJ's rookie season, where he led the Bucks to the playoffs, got Porter a job in Phoenix. Oh, and he got SMithch coach of the year.
