    Like that a lot for the Raptors. Think it's garbage for the Heat

    I really don't know if this is a good move or not, but getting rid of Moon makes sense. The guy is a bonehead and I don't want to pay to keep him.

    Miami was just taking their time grooming Beasley to be the starting SF. This move is mostly for Beasley, although if JO can stay healthy he could really help out the heat this season.

    Lol, I'm sitting in class and I'm fucking happy about this. Great trade. I think Miami will get a lot better with this trade as will Toronto.

    If BC included another draft pick, I am going to be majorly pissed off.

    Re: Marion and Marcus Banks traded for Jermaine O'Neal

    Its an okay trade. Marcus Banks is either gonna take minutes away from Ukic or play the 2 spot ( can he?). If he takes away from Ukic, I'll be kinda pissed. Marion should be okay on this team, we're not gonna be running enough for him to have phoenix type numbers but he'll rebound and defend hopefully. If it doesnt work out, we have a nice expiring this season in Marion to upgrade the roster and convince Bosh to stay which is nice.

    Edit: wow, just read what Chutney posted. The draft pick we included better be for 3-4 seasons down the line, if its next years first that would be the shittiest thing ever.

    Re: Marion and Marcus Banks traded for Jermaine O'Neal

    Great trade by the Raptors. The JON-Bosh combination was a failure and this gives them a free look at Marion and hopefully a step closer to Phoenix style run and gun offense which this team should excel at.

    I thought Marcus Banks actually played well in Phoenix when they used him at SG alongside Barbosa with Diaw handling the ball. Maybe Banks can rediscover his confidence with a change of scenery.

    Re: Marion and Marcus Banks traded for Jermaine O'Neal

    I hope a future first round pick isn't involved, that sounds shitty.


    Edit: sounds like a conditional pick, which is better.

    Supposedly the pick is top-14 (lottery) protected through 2014, and not available until the 2010 draft.

    Re: Marion and Marcus Banks traded for Jermaine O'Neal

    Well he couldn't improve in his 1st (MIN), 2nd (PHX), or 3rd (MIA) changes of scenery. I don't think Banks is a salvagable player anymore. He is what he is.

    As for the trade, Miami won in straight sets.

    I like this trade a lot for Miami. The JO-Wade combo can upset a lot of people in the playoffs. Heck Wade by himself could upset some people in the playoffs.

    On the court, this hardly matters. Marion joins a shitty team (no offense), JO will suck and get hurt in Miami. Where the Heat won was clearing even more cap space for 2010, and ridding themselves of a terrible contract in Banks.

    Re: Shawn Marion, Marcus Banks traded for Jermaine O'Nea, Jamario Moonl (possible pic

    Couldn't do this a night earlier so Marion couldn't get that game winner?

    I think this helps Miami long term, because it gives them more center support, while allowing Beasley to become the starting power forward.

    Toronto probably remains crappy.

    NICE, only negative for me is that Banks might cut into Ukic's minutes

    the talent going either way doesn't exactly thrill me but i like the money coming off the books this year. next year may have the names but with the economy the way it is, how many owners are going to be willing to overpay for what's out there this summer? Kinda like my gf at a Winners, BC could come away with some nice finds and good bargains. besides, we got Bosh coming off the books in '10 ;)

    This will at least give you a more exciting player to watch this season than JO...not like you were going anywhere before the trade anyway. Plus, you get cap space in the offseason. Nice deal for both teams.

    well technically we were headed towards the bottom of the league and that's somewhere. i suspect that will continue.
