That's what I get for not signing on Hoopshype for a while.  Anyone else read Hoopshype?

Cavs apparently trying to see if Toronto wants Mo Williams.  Probably the groundwork for an attempt at a Bosh sign and trade.

Williams, Hickson and someone else will probably be the offer.  Resign Shaq for cheap.  Keep Varejao for the off the bench energy.  Not sure what they do for PG though.

Not sure Toronto would be buying.  I mean... Calderon I remember being good.

Of course I might just feel that way because he was always available for drafting in NBA 2k6 and as such almost always ended up as my PG.

 

Funny thing is. We hate Calderon down here. He's overpaid and if anything he's regressed from what he was a few years ago. Most of us are saying that right now Cleveland and Toronto are trying to work out a deal that would send bosh down to Cleveland.

Most of us, are hoping for something like this:

Cavs Get:
Chris Bosh
Jose Calderon
Marco Beli (Expiring)

Totals in salaries: 28.3M

Raptors Get:
Antwan Jamison
JJ Hickson
Delonte West (Expiring)
Mo Williams

Totals in Salaries: 28.3M

The numbers work out so financially the trade can go down. It also works out for both teams as Toronto gets an emerging Young player in Hickson and some experience in Antwan, some defence in West and somebody a little more reliable scoring wise at the PG position in Mo Williams. If Hedo Turkoglu is still wearing a Raps jersey by next season, he'll be a better fit for this squad since he'll be able to handle the ball and create plays, since he is after all a Point-Forward.


For the Cavs this works out amazing since they get their All star quality PF and a pass-first type of point guard that takes off the ball handiling pressure off of Lebron.

Negatives for Toronto: They don't get as much cap relief as they would have probably like. And rotation issues. If this trade went down does Andrea Bargnani still play C? even though he really needs to play PF? How would they draft? Can Antwan Jamison play SF?

Negatives for Cleveland: Jose Calderon has regressed. There might be some chemistry issues between Chris Bosh and Shaq, since in 2008/2009 when Shaq scored 45pts on the Raptors, Chris critized Shaq for "Camping in the lane" in return, Shaq verberally castrated Chris by calling him. "The Rupaul of Big Men"

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
