I hight doubt JJ is going to take majority of Weems min.

[Hassan]

wouldnt fit into our system.

[Hassan]

good trade by BC. hed be better then any playerd we would be drafting with that pick anyway

[yertu damkule]

i dunno about you guys but i'd cut alabi over trey

sure, why not...i mean, it's not like he's got a guaranteed contract for next season or anything...or that they've never actually seen what he might be able to do given the proper development time. i mean, when you're in a position to compete for a championship like the raptors are, you can't have a guy like alabi. crazy. oh, and keeping johnson would have meant signing him for the remainder of the season, taking up a roster spot, and not allowed them to make a move such as this.

Am I the only one who is meh about this trade, the same way I felt when Julian Wright, Ajinca and POB came to the Raptors?! another wasted talent that couldn't hack it on a good team and our GM siffing through someone else's trash thinks he found a gem?!

big whoop.

Who wants to bet that Chicago would find something better with that pick?!

When he was giving the opportunity he played very well. The prob is the bulls are set at that position so he never got to play very much

Either way what's the harm, we probably wouldn't of got any player of his talent with the heat pick...

and you know this how ?

have you heard of:

kevin martin
david lee
tony parker
manu ginobli
...

all drafted in the late 20's or in the second round

Some of you guys really need to read and watch more basketball. This guy has been playing in D-League, has been so inconsistent with Bulls that he was not getting any minute. Look at the front page for scouting report on him.

Fouls at a high rate, Turns the ball over at high rate and ...

We got the over weight Joey for our FIRST ROUND Miami Pick and you guys are celebrating like we got a budding super star.

Ops, I forgot, his last name is Johnson and maybe this is why !!!

[MangoKid]

Great trade. For a pick that would be in the late 20's, they player selected wouldn't have amounted to what Johnson would bring.

The kid is long, got a nose for the basket (there were rumours the Raps were high on him a couple of years ago), plays solid D, can play the 3 or 4, and is a tough customer (he was a MMA fighter). He should instanteously be our starting 3.

[RaptorsFan4Life]

The heat first rounder is essentially a second round pick... especially considering this is a weak draft...

Great..that's 4 out of how many guys?

[Raptorsss]

Dude's a big-time project. Honestly, right now, I'd put him behind Julian Wright on the depth chart. He's shooting under 50% from the line, 41% from the field, is foul prone, and doesn't have a great b-ball IQ.
