    Should the Rockets try to work out a sign and trade with the Raps for Davis? He has proven to be a great rebounder and has an excellent shot for a PF. Or maybe we could go try to get him as our center...He would be even better than he already is against zone defenses.

    1) At what cost - Is Antonio Davis worth the money he will be asking?

    2)Trade for what - What will we give Toronto that they would take for Davis.

    3)Does Davis want to come here? I think he would prefer to stay in the East.

    There's not too much we could give Toronto in a sign and trade, so maybe we could just pursue him with our cap space. I don't think he would ask for the max contract, leaving room for other FA's. I don't know if he'd want to come here, but he wants out of Toronto for sure.

    Davis is definitely a very good secondary option if Webber cannot be had. However, it appears his desire is to play in Orlando.

    It's starting to seem like everyone wants to play in Orlando...but Orlando can't get both CWebb and Antonio Davis, so at least one of them can't go to Orlando. Does that mean he decides to go to Houston instead? [​IMG]

    I can really see Kelvin Cato as a conceivable trade bait here. He got 5 more years on his contract and that, coupled with his so called "potential" can be something very attractive to Toronto.

    Nope, Toronto's got Keon Clark, who's basically a Cato with heart.
