they don't pay their players in canadian dollars

People need to stop calling Bargnani a 3. He's a 4/5 he can't guard Pierce and Butler and would get eaten alive by Carter or Jefferson. It's a a good deal for both sides a healthy O'Neal provides what we need and if he's a bust we have space for Bosh + one of Bron, Wade or Melo

they can get money from the toronto leafs who had not made the playoffs for 22 years. the leafs have 123 million but did no make any moves cause their getting ripped off. The leafs say if they remove there team by 2010 then toronto gets all that money.

when you mentioned the jermaine o'neals salary and saying it is a problem...its not a real big problem if u look towards the future...when jermains contract expires after the 09/10 season that is the same year tht all stars LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh's contracts expire as well. The point im trying to get at is that with Chris bosh and Jermaine o'neals contracts expiring that year the raptors will have cleared a lot of salary room for those stars.

the raptors have brought in roko ukic, their 2nd round pick in 2005 from croatia. he played in italy last year. obviously the pg today is calderon, but don't be surprised to see this guy bring something to the table

[ajwest747]

this would be my starting lineup for the raptors

C- Jermaine O'neal PF- Chris Bosh SF- Jamario Moon SG- Anthony Parker PG- Jose Calderon

not kapono of barganani is SF because Moon is a good blocker. and the bench will also need good players you know, just like ginobili and gordon at bench

delfino would produce if the raptors decide to sign him back, reports say we've signed hassan adams to take his place who played international last year, and we also signed roko ukic who has tremendous potential, also we might sign our indiana pick nathan await who is said to be the next shaq, this would benefit us until he gets old lol, im thrilled the raps made this trade and it will benefit us considering oneal now has something to compete for

[GEORGEIO111]

The second O'Neal steps on the court with Calderon and Bosh he's gonna be bringing his A Game. Calderon can find oneal in perfect position and bosh and oneal can do most of the scoring together and of either are doubled u got deadly 3pt shooters to dish it to. This team should win 50 games very easily if Oneal is healthy. Expectations are high!!

Hmmm, I don't know, right now can't think of anyone but I may have an answer down the line...its mostly star guards who r free agents like arenas, monta ellis but a trade for a valuable PG would work.

[markmata44]

Yeah man I feel ya, but one question, if you were the manager of the raptors, who would u sign to a contract to back up calderon?, well the free angents that are point guards.

[jmel012083]

oh i know man, calderon is a winner, he wears his heart on his sleeve on the court like me, plays with that intensity, plus i think he's a better point guard overall, he knows when to shoot, knows when to pass and can lead a team better. nothin personal to ford or anythin but i like calderon better.
