the lakers would have no centers

With Bosh around, you don't really need a bonafide C next to him. All you need is a vet that can rebound, defend, and finish around the rim- Rasho can do all that.

On the trade in general, it seems as though most think PHX is getting too good a deal out of this and Toronto getting the short end.

How about if Toronto also gets:

ATL's 1st round pick from PHX
and
Laker's 1st round pick

...to even things out a bit.

This deal is brutal for the Raptors and no matter how some Lakers fans want to try and slice it they run away with this deal. No centers? They'd have Rasho and even Diaw (who actually does pretty well there). Barbosa's contract is nice but not so much when you factor in Banks comes along for the ride. Calderon needs to be extended but Bynum will be extended for even more pretty soon, too. The Raptors come out with worse players and in a worse contract situation. Ouch.

The last things the Raptors need are more depth, non-elite prospects and undersized shooting guards. They've got plenty of those. They could use another star alongside Bosh, but a team without a single star and a mess of positionless players is just asking for trouble.

barbosa isn't worth dumping two contracts and getting odom/farmar.

lakers don't even consider.

Wow holy homerism batman. How can you justify that anwser man? Toronto gets screwed in this deal and LA gets one hell of a team look at the roster when it's all said and done. I_Like_Dirt said it perfect in his anwser why Toronto dosn't do it but Calderon is going out so that the only negitive thing.

Toronto wouldn't touch this deal with Atlanta's first maybe the T-Wolves but not the Hawks.

Why do suns reject?

Steve Nash
Raja Bell
Shawn Marion
Lamar Odom
Amare Stoudamire

Thats a great lineup...

I think if a first rounder is added, I might consider it for Toronto. Bynum and Bargnani front court could work. This would be a great team in the near future..

Bynum
Bargnani
Delfino
Barbosa
Ford

Great young talent, and we get picks.

I don't think it's that bad like some other Raptor fans make it out to be...Bynum is a great talent, and is so young, could be deadly in a few years.
