I still don't see this trade as making the Raptors a legitimate contender to win the East. The East will go through Boston for several years with the Pistons, Cavaliers, and possibly Magic challenging. However, I do think that it was a great trade for the Raptors. They are better off getting rid of Ford considering they already have Calderon. Plus, I am very interested to see how the combination of O'Neal and Bosh meshes. |
