Small Moves Buoy Colangelo’s Design

By Blake Murphy 81 Raps

It goes without saying that General Managers are measured first and foremost by their teams’ overall successes and failures. Being a great GM and building a top caliber team are, it would seem, co-dependent resume characteristics. It stands, then, that a great General Manager cannot, by definition, be so on a mediocre team; mediocrity and [...]

Belinelli Bargain: 23 year old for 32 year old

By Arsenalist 156 Raps

First up, respect to AltRaps for breaking this story first on any blog or website.
You have to love moves that have no negative possibilities and the Belinelli trade is just that. This one falls in the “doesn’t hurt” category. As in, it doesn’t hurt to have some more insurance at shooting guard. Or, [...]

Bargnani resigned, Parker out, 4-way deal and we get MLE back

By Arsenalist 136 Raps

Update @ 12:26AM: Final Deal.
The Mavericks and Raptors recruited the Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies to help facilitate the deal. The Raptors will get Hedo Turkoglu in a sign-and-trade deal with the Magic rather than signing him outright. They also will receive forwards Devean George and Antoine Wright from the Mavericks.
Marion will receive a five-year, [...]

Bryan Doing Work

By Sam Holako 162 Raps

Reports claim he has been living on Red Bull and Twinkies the last couple days/nights.
The shot-clock is expiring, and Colangelo has put in more work over the last few days then he has all season, I can feel it. His Teflon is wearing thin with whispers that his job could be on the line. Needless [...]

Bye K-Fraud, Bosh trade speculation, Workouts

By Arsenalist 103 Raps

Kapono GTFO. Reggie, what took so long? Now I don’t know how many of you were readers of my old site before the RR days but if you were, you’ll know that Reggie Evans was a guy I was madly in love with. He was the rebounder we needed after New Jersey [...]

Kapono Traded to Philly for Evans

By Sam Holako 146 Raps

Reports are trickling in, but it seems that we have unloaded one of our lumps of coal for someone RR (especially Arsenalist) has been hoping we land for a while now. More to come.
A quick salary note: Reggie Evans is signed through 2010 at a reasonable $5.1mill contract.

Thoughts on the Jermaine O’Neal trade

By Arsenalist 137 Raps

They say the team that got the best player in the deal won the trade.  It’s simplistic but often true. So if you want to feel good about this one, that’s all you need to know.
When I first heard O’Neal got traded for Marion, I was happy. Then I heard Marcus Banks was [...]

Trade Rumour: O’Neal for Marion???!?!

By Sam Holako 41 Raps

Hopefully HO can help the Raptors as trade bait.
With the Raptors on-court so miserable, I’m turning to the world of ‘what-if’ for my fix. Word out of Miami is that Riley is interested in trading for Jermaine O’Neal. O’Neal will have to show him some good stuff to make it happen, which shouldn’t be that [...]
