Blockbuster 4-team trade in the NBA

[EKBATAN]

nice trades....although i dont know what memphis management is up to but i guess stackhouse is a good deal for them, they need a veteran


what happened to iverson going there??

toronto will win the NBA title w/ turkoglu!!

thats not bluckbuster, its just a bunch of ok players and a granpa (stackhouse)

if you look at the salary situation and how all 4 teams made it work, you'd know that it isnt easy to pull of such a trade with those many parts involved in it, including 2 sign-and-trades.

good trade for the raptors especially. this sign and trade now helps them to have there whole MLE and cap space to make other FA signings since hedo is coming through a sign and trade. also getting antoine wright, who was a lottery pick a few years back but still has potential and a solid bench player, as well as devean george, who is a vet that can help demar derozan adjust to the NBA.
With that said, raptors can still sign carlos delfino now, and 1/2 free agents.
