Maggette is coming to the Raptors in a sign and trade with TJ Ford this offseason. Because Bryan Colangelo is a 10 times better GM then whoever you mentioned Magic and because the Clippers need a PG badly. What has he done better then these trades? Brandon Roy for Telfair/Ratliff Tyrus Thomas for LaMarcus Aldridge What did Kevin Pritchard start with? Darius Miles/Ruben Patterson/ more "jail" blazers that were old and on bad contracts. Turning that into Oden/Rot/Aldridge + more and a .500 record in 2 years is pretty good. Then you take a look at what BC did with the Suns...And now what hes doing with the Raptors.

Answer my PM that I sent you 4 days ago. Thanks. Maybe he doesn't want to answer? Ok, you're retarded. Hey drew, does your bro play baseball for Westview still? I know he played basketball, but I was just wondering if he still played baseball.

Trade Villanueva for Ford. Signed Parker and Garbajosa (who was the glue of our 47 win team and was injured all year), Signed Kapono who's showing how good he is with playing time in the playoffs.
Bargnani isn't a waste at all, hes a European who needs time to develop. The Moon signing was huge, trading Araujo for Kris Humphries who's still in the NBA. Acquiring Carlos Delfino for a 2nd, and just wait to see what hes going to do this offseason.
Sure your GM did trade for Roy and for Aldridge (Tyrus Thomas is much better defensively still). Besides that, hes done NOTHING. Moving Randolph to the Knicks could have been done by me, and picking Oden #1 could have been done by you.
I doubt i need to go through what he did with the Suns (which took about 6 years), hes only been in Toronto for a year and has done nothing but great things so far.

Sure your GM did trade for Roy and for Aldridge (Tyrus Thomas is much better defensively still) Any GM picking Thomas over Aldridge (please take out the final week of the season where Tyrus for the first time in 2 years showed the promise making him a #2 pick. Nobody cares much that late in the season anymore) should be fired. Now.

At some point, Thomas will make a bigger impact then Aldridge will. sure. a bigger impact in what is the question. I'm thinking he will have the sort of impact Ben Wallace had for the Pistons sort of role. Hes going to be that defensive stopper type guy. Hes also improving his scoring, hes only like 22 as well.

Now. just one of the many reaons Paxon should be fired. sure, its always easier to see things like this in hindsight, but how long has he been there now? and the furthest they've got is the second round? and he's gone through how many coaches? trading Tyson Chandler, who was coming of a season in which he averaged 7.1 ppg (per 36 miutes) on 56% shooting? one of the most unselfish players in the league/one of the best rebounders in the league/one of the best defenders in the league. fuck! he still doesn't play a prominat role in NO offense. he shoots mroe than he did with the Bulls, yet his FG% went up!!!! and they traded him for PJ BROWN!!!!!!!!!! i'm done.

CP3 = higher FG% on less touches, and basically layups for him. Trading Chandler for PJ Brown was suppose to be the next piece in the equation (The Bulls won like 50 games or more last season, nobody saw this type of season coming), and they didn't want to have to resign or pay the rest of Chandlers contract.

not wanting to pay a good players salary is never a good reason to trade him.

not wanting to pay a good players salary is never a good reason to trade him. When you have an entire team full of young players who are all at the time looking better then Chandler, you do. Especially in the salary cap world.

first of all, nobody really argued when tyson was traded. He drove us insane with his inconsistency, and he sure didn't look like the next coming of Ben Wallace II (the peaking one, after his Bullets years and before his Bulls/Cavs years). Nobody could imagine he'd ever get close to that level. Sure he was only 24 but he had been here for 5 seasons already. And didn't show much improvement in any of those (apart from short stretches of 2,3 games where you thought you just watched the breakthrough only to get back the old Tyson for the five following games) Fact is, the Bulls couldn't afford to pay BOTH Ben and Tyson, so that's why Tyson had to go. And nobody really knocked hard at our door at that time (btw, not sure how a multi-billion business like an NBA franchise can not afford, but let's just assume you have to have earnings every now and then too, only Isiah is granted exceptions there) But maybe is has something to do with playing in an AllLeague lineup of Paul, Peja, and David. He even might be close to the old Tyson on many other teams ...
