Off topic.. but is he even coming back this season, or even playoffs?
My buddy hates him for some reason..but I think we really miss his toughness and rebounding. And I'm not the biggest fan, but he brings something to the table, the Raps desperately need.

There was already a long thread devoted to the argument " hasn't made a meaningful transaction in months" and how ludicrous it it. WHat do you think he does all day and night? Shop for big collars, drive Ferrari's, and seducing the women of T DOT? He does enough behind the scences that does not show up on the waiver wire, he's President for god sakes. Oh wait is that it, el presidente?

I constantly "bash" BC? Can you please point me to the posts where I've "bashed" him? The most I've ever said was that people tend to look him in a heavenly light more than they ought to, I'm the first one to give him (and Babcock to some extent) credit for bringing us out of our rut.
And yeah, for what it's worth he hasn't made a meaningful transaction in months.
Also, my nickname has nothing to do with president of the Raptors, it's more to do with Castro.

It's funny people keep saying this: We don't want to take back salary beyond this year in a trade. It's just as likely we will let his contract expire. We're going to be close to the luxury tax next year if we sign both Calderon and Delfino, use our first round draft choice and bring over Ukic (or use a bit to shore up the frontcourt with a banger-type big man.)
I really don't expect us to do much by this trade deadline, but rather tinker, or do nothing. If we can swap expiring contracts, Dixon for another guy who will be a free agent, I can see us doing so. But don't expect much at all.

if we can draft Nathan Jawai and test him as a viable backup C, then we could be in a good position, should be pan out.

In addition, teams cannot trade players under the following circumstances:
For two months after receiving the player in trade or claiming him off waivers, if the player is being traded in combination with other players. However, the team is free to trade the player by himself (not packaged with other players) immediately. This restriction applies only to teams over the salary cap. (Also see question number 72 for a special case where players can be traded together in less than two months.)
There seems to be a lot of confusion about the first bullet item above. Many media reports mistakenly say that a player cannot be re-traded for two months under any circumstances, even by himself. This is not true -- Danny Manning's trade from Phoenix to Orlando, and soon thereafter to Milwaukee is one example of the correct application of this trade rule. Other media reports confuse the sign-and-trade rule with this one, claiming that the player can be re-traded within 48 hours or after 60 days, but not in between.
