Thanks man. The backcourt of the Wizards had a great game. I couldn't stop them at all. My big men need to step it up or there will be MAJOR CHANGES.

Good presentation my man! Just asking.. how did u get that Antonio Dnaiels pic? That's the training palce aye?

Thank you as well. I got the Daniels pic by taking a screenshot when they reveal who is the POTG and yes that iz the training place.

[The X]

it would be hard to turn down that deal as Raptors would luv to get rid of Rose....

btw, no way in hell is Eric Williams a SG

Yes, I am a fan of Rose though. Hill is good but can't fit the SG position Rose is in right now. I don't wanna move Joey Graham to the bench too.

On depth charts around the web, it says he is an SG. He is more like a F.

[Mark.]

I think go with the trade, even have Hill as your 6th man, since hes a point foward, Rose is a good player too, sorta the same just with an outside shot

[Bosh4]

Do the trade put graham at SG and play Hill at SF you get rid of roses contract
and you get rid of a CANCER

C:Woods
PF:Bosh
SF:Hill
SG:Graham
PG:James

[Its_asdf]

Graham in real life can't play shooting guard yet. I think that Hill wouldn't be traded for Rose unless other players are added because Rose's stock isn't very high and he's being paid a hell of a lot of money.

Try trading Rose and a few scrubs for a bunch of players with medium sized contracts that expire soon or players that have a lot of potential.

[nbalive744]

Ohhh major changes? I hope your big men step it up next game, accept the trade too, Grant Hill kicks ass.

[Keo]

Lmao! The cpu did that exact trade in my Franchise. I'm a big fan of Jalen so I say decline. Grant Hill is too old and injury prone.

[[C][B]#4]

Sensation..if i remember correctly, I think Jalen's older than Hill..but illusionz..u should take a look @ grant hill's contract, cuz Jalen's contract endes @ the 06-07 season, giving the Raptors cap flexibility to resign Chris Bosh. If Hill contract is like a year, then I'd go for it. I'd start mo peterson and keep graham where he is, and use Hill as a sixth man.

Hm .. thats a good idea too.

Graham aint ready to be a SG.

Thanks for the tip man. Maybe I will do that but he a huge contract which will be hard. But we will see what will happen.

Yes, I mean MAJOR CHANGES.

Both guys are old too so ye.

Both Rose and Hill's contract end in 2 years and Hill has a "+" by his so I aint sure what that means. Both are near their end of their career so ye. I want everyones opinion.

Thanks to everyone for their opinion. It gave me options on what to do but it is still hard to see if I should accept or decline. More comments please and I will decide by tonight.

[BOSS]

Well people I will decide after the game vs New Jersey. Hopefully Orlando doesn't change there mind yet.

Thanks for the PM iLLuzionz...yeh I'm looking forward to your submission too. If you're playing a 29 game season, your first 'window' would be after 15 games. If you're playing 58 games, the same goes... I like the feel of your Dynasty and it's about time the Raptors made it back to the playoffs!

I'll be keeping my eye out!
