    Point is, Morey isn't stupid. He knew Scola and Martin were better dead to him than alive. You can't just pull a new trade out of your butt if one gets vetoed. If no one else was willing to trade with us, or give us fair value, we had no reason to get rid of them. Morey doesn't hold onto guys too long, never has, period.

    Kyle Lowry told me this: "I strongly feel (the Raptors) are the right franchise for me. Toronto is just where my heart is.'' — Chris Broussard

    No, but you have to include Valanciunas.

    I cannot wait for Clutch's take on this Lowry deal. My guess is that he won't be too happy.

    it's like when we traded two 2nd rounders for that terrible Raiders CB, and then Casserly tried to convince us that we didn't really give up two 2nd rounders because we shouldn't have had that other 2nd rounder, so really we just gave up one 2nd rounder.

    Who's excited?!

    Dude is wayyyy to raw still. Saw him play against Great Britian last week in Houston and he was decent, if that, against a very unimpressive team. he has a lot of work to do. Great potential, but many growing pains to come.

    Lol martin and scola are as good as gone. Lin will be matched, camby won't be resigned. I don't know why we got asik if we were going to tank.

    Livingston/machado
    Lamb/
    Parsons/Morris/White
    Patterson/Motiejunas/Jones
    Asik/Leuer/Brockman

    Is our team.

    Of course.

    But it had apparently already been edited by the time I clicked it. Out of curiosity, did you manage to snag a copy, screen grab, or a copy/paste of the text of what you originally saw? Even though it is most likely made-up BS, it would be interesting to at least see it.

    I wonder why someone would make something like that up?

    If I'm correct, we have the possibility of four 1st round picks next year, don't we?
    Raptors
    Ours
    Suns
    Mavs

    This is getting completely out of hand.

    For those of you liking the trade... don't you guys feel a little underwhelmed? I'm no GM but feels like we could have gotten more somehow. Then again maybe I overvalue Lowry...

    I'm going to have to vouch and say it did say 2 first round and 2 second round draft picks. I believe it was editted like 15-20 minutes after it was initially published.
