TI: Villanueva back to Toronto

Villanueva, Gadzuric and Voshkul to the Raps for Kris Humphries, Rasho Nesterovic and Juan Dixon.

Kris Humphries started out the year with a bang but has trailed off a bit lately. From what I

I like Humphries but I worry that's giving up a bit too much.. then again Nesterovic is clearly an upgrade over Gadzuric, Raps fans tend to get all hot and sweaty over his post D so it could be worth a shot. If they throw in a pick I'd probably do it.

I am going the other way. I would do this deal in the drop of a hat. Getting rid of Gadz makes this a good deal. My only reservation is that we would be dealing for another guy (humphries) who played well against us. We will probably resign him for a 6 year 52 million dollar deal. I do like what he brings to the table even though he is at best a rich mans skinner.

this thread is pure speculation and has no real merit which is why it was locked on the raps board.

I normally would be worried about that too, but not in this case, since I am very familiar with Kris Humphries and how he plays when not playing against the Bucks (as has been mentioned, I watch all the Raptor games).

I would absolutely do this trade.

Instead of putting on a display of ignorance, you could have made a humble inquiry about this and we would have clarified for you that on this board it has become the custom to preface trade ideas with TI.
T = Trade
I = Idea

That would have been the advisable course of action, particularly for someone with so little experience participating in this forum.

Isn't that the idea of trade threads? To throw out potential trades and debate them?

Honestly, I know it won't happen, but get this...

Calderon is doing awesome at PG for Toronto, meaning their need for TJ is somewhat lessened.

Andrea is playing like a girl and might not be the PF they thought they were getting.

Mo is clearly the opposite style PG we need next to Redd.

It seems that a "change of scenery" take two might benefit both trades in a CV for TJ swap.

Raptors board has an individual board policy that trade threads should not be placed there, simply because the mods feel that it clutters up the forum too much due to the high traffic rate. Sometimes a trade thread slips through, but most are locked/moved to the Trades/Transactions board.

As for the trade, it's meh as is, and I don't see any way of Toronto including a pick.
