heard this morning on SC and KIA pregame show that Rose is being traded to NY for Davis. Raptors are also giving a first round draft pick.
Davis will retire soon, and will get a good draft pick so i thnk the raptors shouldn't of done this trade!

The trade is about salary cap relief. The Knicks inherit Rose and a potential $16 million contract for next season, while the Raptors lose it. The league has become more about salary-matching than talent when trades are being done.

Moses is 100% right, all financial this trade.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Raptors actually waive Davis (or Penny) if the trade goes ahead. Pay them out and let them walk. If Davis is the player I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded again, probably back to the Bulls. If he walks, Pax will attempt to sign him of waivers.
The Raps and Knicks are playing for the ping-pong balls, plus the Raps will need some serious coin to convince Bosh to hang around.
the raptors have no superstars in there line up!
No average players either!
The only exception is there young and not that expensive Bosh.
Salary cap relief?
maybe if they signed some talent, they would be a team like the Hawks!

Your kidding ain't you, 'not that expensive Bosh', the boy is going MAX... and he'll be expensive. The Raps will have to go max to keep him.

Agreed TR bosh will be a great plyer in 3-4 years. I reckon him and Amare will be two dominant big men in the future
