11 is really an idiot trade~~~
Raptors got Marshall and Bosh in their frontline~~
P.J and Magloire are exactly the same type of player in comparsion with Bosh and Marshall.....although Hornet's pair is more mature...
For me, Raptors should aquire a back-up SF or SG....

just a rumour ma...
but Raptors is the winner if that deal is success
Raptors can finally find a true center except "the dream".
C.Bosh can play his native PF again...
also R.Araujo (rookie) and PJ Brown can backup them as well....
Marshall is best fit on SF la...so Raptors lowpost can be as energytic as they can. Raptors resign M.Peterson now, can move him to SG
and R.Alston can be starting PG.
so the starting lineup
PG - R.Alston
SG - M.Peterson
SF - D.Marshall
PF - C.Bosh
C - J.Magloire

Hornets will be the losser...as they loss their team style now....
their lowpost are well reputation for last several years.
If loss Magloire and PJ.Brown, new comer, C.Anderson may start at C and D.west should be PF. VC can be G/F and Jose can be a combo guard....he can share some playing time of old d.wesley...
the starting should be
PG - B.Davis
SG - J.Rose
SF - VC
PF - D.West
C - C.Anderson

How come Knicks has so much to spend?
as far as I know, Starbury, Penny, Mut, Houston,and Kurt all pay 10M+ per year...but they are still a shity team.

Just another Portland, but portland still competitive in the old days...well let see what other "BIG NAME" they will add
