Default Toronto Raptors Thread

There were some moves and one rumour put out in Raptor land today.

I am really starting to love Colangelo

SOURCE

Quote:
TORONTO (CP) -- Toronto Raptors president and GM Bryan Colangelo managed not only to acquire a centre but dump a salary in one fell swoop Wednesday.

Colangelo traded fan favourite Matt Bonner plus fellow forward Eric Williams to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, in exchange for seven-foot centre Rasho Nesterovic and cash.

Nesterovic fills a gaping hole for the Raptors, who have been in need of a true centre to help out star forward Chris Bosh. The move also rids the roster of the disgruntled Williams and his contract....
Somewhat related:

Quote:
Sportsnet.ca -- Rumours continue to swirl around the Toronto Raptors and the No. 1 pick that they own in next Wednesday's NBA draft.

The Toronto Sun reports that the latest rumour making its way around the mill is a deal which would see the Raptors trade down to the third choice in the draft and also receive point guard Brevin Knight from Charlotte in exchange for the top pick in the draft and long-time Raptor Alvin Williams.

The deal would allow the Raptors to help fill their hole at point gurad since Mike James is an unrestricted free agent and may not return and also allow the Raptors to grab European forward Andrea Bargnini whom Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo is said to be enamoured with.

I can live with this move too

Colangelo is a good GM, he frees up cap room and gets decent players in return. Trading Raffa was a great move:haha:

Default Report: Raptors ship Villanueva to Bucks

In the words of Chuck Swirzky "ARE YOU KIDDING ME???"

The Raptors have traded Charlie V for TJ Ford. FINALLY A POINT GUARD.

I love Charle V but we needed this.



Quote:
t looks like the Toronto Raptors have filled their need for a point guard.

According to a report on ESPN the Raptors have dealt forward Charlie Villanueva to the Milwaukee Bucks for T.J. Ford.

Ford averaged 12.2 points and 6.6 assists in 72 games for the Bucks last year after missing all of the previous season and part of his rookie season with a back injury.

Villanueva averaged 13.0 points and 6.4 rebounds in 81 games for the Raptors last year - his first in the NBA.

Details to follow.

Agreed, the Raptors have been lacking a true PG forever. I mean we had Mark Jackson, but Grunwald traded him after half a season and then we had Alvin Williams who was all right, but not a true 1.

It stinks that we lose CV, but to get better you got to trade away talented players.

Chris Bosh is an MVP caliber player. I really think the Raptors are back on the right track.

I think with T.J. Ford and Chris Bosh the Raptors will turn around there season from last year and push for the playoffs.

They have looked impressive this year and I mean only lost to Memphis by 6 or something last night with a couple of starters gone so who knows maybe they will finally make a run for the playoffs.
