for guess who....Antonio Davis. Raps also gave up a first round pick as well. Geez whats gonna happen with this? Maybe the Raps will trade Davis for someone that actually wants to play here. Great for the Raps to get rid of Rose's contract and Davis' contract is done at the end of this year. Well done! Chuck Swirsky just announced this on the fan590

your right they got rid of J.R and that fat contract of his. looks like the raptors will finally have some room under the cap at the end of the year.

That's it I've had it - what kind of bull-shit trades are happening here - I'm putting my application in for GM - and the way things are going - I might just land the job!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW do you see this as a bullshit trade? Rose was going to make another 17 mill next year. Davis is done after this year if he even comes here at all. there will be teams that will want Davis and the Raps will be rid of 17 mill next year. I say YIPPIE! Oh or are you a Knicks fan? then i see your displeasure

Yes i did. Sorry, but what i cant understand is why we sent a #1 pick?
Raps have two first round picks next year i think and its suppose to be a very weak draft so they will still have at least one. And well, i think its worth it to get rid of Rose's contract. Cap space is pretty good now

mojo - they could have waited until the end of the year and got rid of Rose - the Raptors can still make a run - but now with AD - I hardly doubt it

you cant be too sure. If someone is willing to take him you deal him. The Raps i think had to do it. Im not sure someone would take him for sure after the season. I think its a good deal, but as the Swirsk would say, "thats why theres chocolate and vanilla"

You guys forget how hard it is for the Raptors to sign free agents. Most NBA players don’t want to play in Canada for whatever stupid reason.:mad:

Did anybody ask Davis' wife about coming back to Canada? I'll bet she's thrilled.:eek:

I may be wrong, but if Denver makes the playoffs, the Raps' extra pick goes out the window. So, they may have traded their only pick.

Regardless, they release the cash they would've given to Rose. I liken this to JP's letting Delgado's big contract go. Bite your lip for a year, and build your team by throwing the money you have around next year.

Add two big names and put them in there with Bosh, James & Villa and you've got a team gents.

Rose's money will look better in James' & Bosh's wallets anyway!

I agree. While we now might have the cap room, the tough part is getting people that are willing to come. If they can lock up James and Bosh, that might be a start. It's kinda like the Jays right? You have to make your organization creditable before you can attract people to come to your club. The Raptors have a long way to go with all their coaching/gm changes over the years, their lousy trades, and questionable drafting. Good luck to the Raps...
