Raptors and Hornets close to completing 5-player trade (UPDATE: Done deal)

So, Anderson can play with Ariza again.

 

Oh snaps!! Hornets are for REAL!!

 

Jack would be a nice pick up for the Hornets. He plays well for the Raptors

 

yup, if he don't get cut.

 

Although none of the new players are world-class Grade A players (assuming the deal goes down), the Hornets are doing their best to keep Chris Paul in town. The team would even be able to make a second trade later.

Hate to see our team further eclipsed but I'm resolved on the Rockets having a mediocre season at best, and that, only if there is some sort of deal after December 15.

 

did u even watch him in yesterdays game?

 

That's a steal for the Raptors I think. One of their best trades for years.

 

?? No he doesn't. I just dropped him from my fantasy team, dude is a turnover machine and his %'s are in the toilet.

 

Doesnt work, Bayless can't be traded until mid december

 

Very lopsided trade in favor of the Raps. Peja's day has passed, but he's still a great spot-up shooter, and Bayless is a very athletic PG with a high ceiling at only 22. Why is Dell Demps even considering making a move at 10-1... the current roster's obviously clicking, why throw a wrench in to the equation?

 

WTF? Didn't they just trade for Bayless?

 

Jarret Jack is CP3's friend.

 

This is false.

The Hornets traded for him so yes they can trade him now if they want.

 

Seems like a waste of Peja's expiring contract. Seems like they could get more than Jack for that.

BTW, this would officially go down as 2 separate trades because Bayless would have to be moved 1 for 1 since he was recently traded. Toronto has exceptions that can swallow his contract, so that's not a problem.

 

Good trade for the raptors

 

But thacabbage so emphatically told everyone (or a couple of people at least) that Bayless was better than Brooks in one of his first blog entries. This doesn't make sense.

 

just read on rotoworld that theyd have to do 2 separate trades cause bayless can only be traded alone

 

Yup. Raptors are winner here. It'll be fun to see a Bayless/DeRozen/Weems lineup. Talk about athleticism.

 

It's a good trade for the Hornets. They save some serious cash and get a very solid bench player in Jarrett Jack. He could play both guard positions. Peja is done and Bayless hasn't proved anything in the NBA yet.
