What a meltdown by the San Antonio Spurs... 0-4 sweep. Mark Cuban must be kicking himself right now.

As I mentioned earlier, everything changed for Spurs after Mau's nose got whacked. His 3 point shots were so off and he shot under 40% in the 8 games. As Manu goes, Spurs go and no one stepped up in Suns series like Hill in Mavs series.

As for Raptors, I didn't want Bosh to resign before and certainly don't want him to resign now even all these twitter stuff. My buddies and I were thinking we shouldn't even do any sign and trade. Just lose Bosh and save the money. Suck for a year than go for the top draft pick. The pieces we would get from sign and trade are not gonna help us to win a championship and we'll end up being a low playoff seed with a big salary anyway as long as we have Hedo. Might as well save some money to start fresh.

What? Just let him walk? THAT IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING THAT CAN HAPPEN. You do realize that if he signs for max money and we trade him, we won't be responsible for his contract right? Letting him walk and we end up with no pieces we can build around in return would destroy us. It would just demolish us. Sign and trade him for a piece we can focus our attention around and some expiring contracts to match his 17-20M salary. We would lose the expiring contracts within a year, which would shed cap space and we would still be able to have a piece to build around. Raptors will also have a shit load of cap space for the 2011-2012 season as the following players become expirings next year

 

Reggie Evans (Trade Him or let him expire)
Marcus Banks (Trade Him or let him expire)
DeMar DeRozan (Resign for MLE)
Marco Beli (Trade Him or let him expire)
Sonny Weems (Resign based off his performance throughout the season)

 

There is also the huge chance Raps will probably tank this year and we'll be able to get another Lottery pick. If we trade for Beasly we will also be able to get the Pick we gave Miami for Shawn Marion back as well.

 

Also the thing about Hedo is that he wasn't used properly. Turk is more used to a Point-Forward position, where he has the ball in his hand the majority of the time on the court. He compliments Jarrett Jack well because Jack is a more of a slashing and scoring Point guard, however Jose and he have been at odds which has been detrimental to both this Organization, team and their stats. I say we also find someway to trade Jose Calderon and his outrageous contract.
