Ugh, that's all I need

Was to look at the Raptors Player Movement chart and see what a disaster the VC trade was. We all knew (except for Babcock and MLSE management, obviously) that it was horrible from the very beginning but to see just how little we got from it is astounding. It’s one of those trades that gets worse and worse as time goes by. It certainly is in the running for the “Worst NBA Trades of All Time” title.

It’s funny (well, maybe not funny if you’re a Raps fan) that the Memphis Grizzlies got skewered for the Pau Gasol trade. But ultimately, they came away with his younger brother Marc, who is a very good post player. And then there’s the VC trade… cricket, cricket…

Yeah, that comparison came to my mind too

That’s why I said the Raptors trade looks worse and worse as time goes on.

Memphis still has two draft picks to come that it can trace to that trade.

Nice to know Hedo has some kind of blood line to Vince courtesy of Nathan Jawai.

More than that

VC was traded for Eric Williams, was traded for Rasho, was traded for O’Neal, was traded for Marion, was traded for Hedo. I think those were even the largest individual contracts (though not the most valuable assets) on Toronto’s side of each of the successive deals.

I've been looking at the sky
