Rasho traded to Toronto for Eric williams and bonner

SnT James for Alston.

 

Earl Boykins would be a nice, if only for the contrast.

 

I think they'll trade down now.

Toronto Suns waive Robert Whaley. Looks like Rasho will be the backup center and they can still get Aldridge.

 

Conangelo was on Rome today and of he tried not to say anything at all....
but it sounded like he was most impressed with Morrison.

He said that to him the workouts were very important in that you get a close up look at a guy in your gym and more importantly you get a sense of who he is. He said he would have never drafted Marion at #9 if he hadn't imprressed him at the workout and within 15 minutes of when Stoudemire walked in the gym they knew he was the guy.

With that mindset, he seemed to ralk mostly about Morrison and how impressed he was with his intensity, saying he was intense even over dinner.

Just my impression.

 

They dumped Arujo and needed Rasho for depth. Chris Bosh is playing out of position playing center. IMO, they may still draft a big man.

 

Sounds liek Conangelo is "talking up" Morrison so the Blazers get nervous to try to make a deal for the #1 pick to get Morrison...and then the Raptors get #4, take Bargnani and a couple of assets off the Blazers hands (Jack, Outlaw 2nd round pick etc)

 

Isn't that what I said earlier?
