Mo'se

Jose for Mo could be alright if we can throw in Hedo and get something back. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense, especially with BC saying he wants a 10-assist per game guy.

That’s a good point but there aint that many point guards in the league that average 10 assist a game anyways unless you can get nash, paul or williams which aint gonna happen. I think I would do this trade.

They could get Collison though as NO is looking to move him or Paul with the most likely candidate to be moved being Collison.

If the Raps are going to trade Calderon(a playmaker) for Mo(a shooter) then they would likely need to keep Hedo in order for him to run the offence.

We also need a 13 rebound type

I don’t see the point of a str8 Jose for Mo swap. It does nothing to solve Raps’ D woes, and I’ve always found Mo Williams over-rated. Lebron made him an all-star but I don’t see him as much of an upgrade over Jarrett Jack. So, this trade does nothing for our side.

With Turkoglu leaving Raptors need a playmaking, passing PG, capable of avg 9/10 assists and scoring, and not a 2nd combo guard as neither Wiliams nor Jack fill the bill.
