O'Neal was a gamble for the Raptors that did not panned out. When he got picked up I thought awesome we finally have a centre who can play well defensively and also offensively that will complement Bosh. Well, obviously everbody's wrong. Moon, on the other hand suddenly hit rock-bottom and became expendable when Joey Graham play excelled. To me, this trade is not bad and I don't mind it at all especially if Marion and Banks help the Raptors. I am not sure if Banks is PG or SG but he will definitely fill in as a bench player and Marion will be a good help as well.
Losing Moon and O'Neal will not lose some sleeps on a lot of Raptors' fan. Maybe O'Neal will get better in Miami with Wade. Hmmmm... isn't kind of coincidence that there was this guy with the same last name used to be one-two punch in Miami?
