This is just another dumb move by the raps.
There was no way in hell Marshall was going to stick around. We all knew that. So why didn't the Raps at least try to get a pick to help one of the many many teams trying to get him before the deadline (Philly, Cleveland) just to name a few.
At least they should have gotten something for Marshall... this is absolutely pathetic.

Maybe, maybe not but it all depends on what was offered to Babcock. They probably would have had to take some big contract back this way and I doubt Babcock would want to buyout another player unless it was a contract with one year left. Atleast now his contract is gone and we have extra cap space.

Really Mike, there were a couple teams looking to make a run and were looking right in the direction of Marshall.
If Babcock sends out a league wide fax saying the first person to offer me a 2nd round pick gets Marshall, you'd have a 2nd round pick within the hour. [/b][/quote]
Sure it could be possible but then again we already had 2 second rounders and Babcock's relationship with the fans already wasnn't great.
Say Babcock trades him for a 2nd, you don't think there would be fans angry that the Raptors could've made a push to the playoffs? We were in a good position or atleast on a roll at the time.
It's Toronto, they'll always find a way to bitch about the team. I'm sure the media would be going on and on about how Babcock doesn't want this team to succeed that is why he let him go for nothing basically.
