Ima let all this go man, look at it this way, Bynum is more then the Wolves got for KG, or the Sonics got for Ray Allen, or the damn near close to what Memphis got for Gasol. NBA trades are about money, not talent. Bynum is more talent then all those teams got, including Al Jeff. Bynum may not be Shaq, but he's better then all the other centers goin not named Yao or D12. And he's 22. So quit thinking that you are going to get equal value for what you think Bosh's level is. You aren't. It won't happen.
It's not about getting equal value. It never is when you're trading away all star level talent.
It's about getting players/draft picks in return that'll make your team better going forward. I dont want Bynum's over-rated a.ss with his fragilebody and that kind of contract. The Raptors would be better off getting role-players + draft picks in return.
With Bynum + the players they have now, this team is no better than any of the other scrubs in the East.
Might as well keep Bosh for a few more months, finish 5th in the East and then sign-and-trade him in July.
Bynum isn't a Colangelo type of player anyway. Colangelo tried bringing in a fragile big-man as our starting Center last year and then gave up on himhalf-way through the season. Bynum wont fit Colangelo's flawed style of basketball.

Please tell me there is some talk of Otis Smith trading Vince Carter. At this point I don't even care what the Magic get for him just as long as he gets sent away. He completely ruins the flow of their offense by making terrible decisions.

They're looking at a lot of things right now. They aren't happy with how the team fits together and seem to be deeply regretting letting Hedo go. I think anyone, short of Dwight Howard, could be had for the right deal ... but yes, I think Carter will be the focal point.

1.Bosh > Bynum. Raptors management actually believe that this team has a chance to win a playoff round. They are not going to get weaker by trading Bosh now and jeopardize what they believe is a good chance to make the 2nd round of the playoffs.
2. Bynum is in the base-year of his contract which means the value of his contract does not match the value of Bosh's contract, so the Lakers would have to throw in more contracts to make the trade work.
3. Raptors ownership desperately want playoff revenue. If they trade Bosh for Bynum, they will risk missing out on the playoffs. I think its safe to say that as poor as this Raptors team is, they will likely make the playoffs and bring in some extra revenue.
4. Bosh is undecided. He likely has not told Raptors management that he is leaving. I think he'll probably leave in the summer after realizing how crappy this team is when they lose in the 1st round of the playoffs.
5. The Raptors would get more by signing-and-trading Bosh in the summer. Bosh will likely want a max contract. All he has to do is tell Colangelo he wants a max contract but he wants to play for another team. The Raptors would then likely give him the max contract and negotiate a deal with another team that would yield them better returns than Bynum. Lets be honest here. Bynum is a glorified role-player fortunate enough to be playing on the league's best team. The Lakers would've won the title last year without him. I know its hard for some of you to believe that the Lakers would've won the title without Bynum's monsterous stats (6 ppg in the finals) but it is indeed, true.

No they couldn't. ATL made it clear they were matching whatever deal came for Josh.Originally Posted by itsaboutthattime
they could have very easily have signed josh smith INSTEAD of brand.. and he would have fit the system that all the other players on the roster fit... butttttttttttt noooooooooooooo

The Dallas Mavericks are watching the Kevin Martin-Tyreke Evans backcourt situation with the Sacramento Kings and are willing to trade Josh Howard for Martin.
Marc Stein, writing for ESPNDallas.com writes: "Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that Dallas -- reluctant until recently to make Josh Howard available in trade discussions -- is prepared to part with the struggling former All-Star swingman in a deal for Martin. The Kings, though, have been telling teams that they are not ready to field offers for Martin, determined to give his fledging backcourt partnership with hot-shot rookie Tyreke Evans an extended period of evaluation."
Stein also reports the Mavs could join the bidding for Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala and Washington's Caron Butler.
Previously, there's been rumblings of a Jose Calderon for Martin swap, but that has been widely panned.
