More Raptors Rumours.

If this trade actually went through the way it's speculated. I think the entire Raptor front office should be fired.
A good laugh for me none the less.....I'm sure most of you will get a good chuckle as well...

Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall are both reportedly on their way out of Toronto. Rose would be sent to New York while Marshall would wind up in a T-Wolves uniform.

TORONTO (CP) -- Toronto Raptors trade talk involving Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall heated up Thursday.

Yeah, this is a strange rumour. Toronto gives away arguably the best player involved (as well as one other serviceable player) and gets back probably the worst player in the deal (once you factor in Hardaway's health).

"TNT reported the Raptors are involved in trade discussions with Minnesota, New York and Miami. According to TNT, Rose could be headed to the Knicks for veteran guard Penny Hardaway, while Marshall plus Eddie Jones could go to Minnesota, and Latrell Sprewell to Miami."

Just the way the trade is described here, it's really two trades: Rose for Hardaway straight up, and a three way where Minnesota loses Sprewell and aquires Jones and Marshall, Miami loses Jones and aquires Sprewell, and Toronto loses Marshall and aquires nobody in return. Just doesn't make any sense at all from a Toronto perspective. I'm guessing there are draft picks going to Toronto as well, but even so, I don't see it working.

that trade doesnt work under the cap, so it will never happen unless more players are thrown in here and there...either way its an awful deal

Yah this deal is real stupid, especially for the Raps. I don't mind seeing Rose leave because of his contract but Marshall is great off the bench. He can post up or drop a 3 ball.
