Understood, but my point is, he was a productive big man they had on the team when healthy. No one else has really stepped it up in that slot and Bargani doesn't seem to be paying off. So I think there will be some other moves made possibly. They need physical help and Garbo would have given them some of that.

Colangelo also stated he had 4 other deals in the possible works, so you never know.

jose, parker, moon, bosh, JO sounds like a good starting 5 for the eastern conf.

the problem now is a back up PG and C

The plan is Bargnani would be the backup C. I am sure there is still more to come.

Richard Jefferson got traded to the bucks for Yi

Yeah but Yi didn't want to be in Milwaulkee anyways and Nets don't want to pay Jefferson's salary. Lots of teams are unloading too in the hopes that when LeBron and some others that came into the league at the same time become free agents next year, they may be able to sweep him or somebody else up by dumping players now.

Good news for the Raps. If JO plays well (not getting injured) we place top 4 in the east + salary cap after 2 years. If he doesn't play at all, just like Double B said 2 years from now LeBron and a lot of other superstars will be free agents. JO's contract expires at that time leaving TO with a huge salary cap space (20Mil). I believe this is also the time Bosh's contract expires?!

the trade will serve its purpose... BC for MVP!!!

now the biggest issue... BACKUP PG!!! I hope BC isn't considering getting Derrick Martin to play again... Delfino can play backup but he's no PG

I think if JO is healthy and calderon develops some more and actually looks for his shot more often we will have a good chance of having a 45+win season. But we still have a very long way to go before we beat the pistons or celtics in the playoffs..

Jefferson is bad for NJ. that deserves a "hello" from jack armstrong.
