No, but I guess I rather have that deal than the Diaw one. Salmons is a slightly better all around shooter, and is good at scoring the ball when his team needs him to score. Don't like the fact that he's older than Diaw, but his contract and us keeping the 17th pick makes up for it.

I wouldn't do this deal, though I think it's fair. I'm sick of having so-called depth, where there's three or four players at a position who are around the same skill level. We need one small forward or shooting guard who's head and shoulders above what we have now, and Ford would probably be our best chip to bring him in. Diaw is, from a talent perspective, whether he puts it all together or not, but Salmons isn't, so I don't think this deal makes us better.

I'd do it over the Diaw trade. We hold on to the 17th pick, get a nice scorer in Salmons, an okay prospect in Douby and with that second round pick would could take a chance on either Dorsey, Mbah a Moute or even Bill Walker if he falls there.

Still, I think we could get more for TJ than either of those packages. I'd rather build a package to get a high pick while holding on to the 17th.

I prefer neither, if I had to choose...I'd do the Diaw trade.

I'd prefer it, but I still wouldn't be jumping for joy. We're not going to be getting a MUCH better prospect, and we're still giving away a starter for a 6th man.

But Salmons doesn't want to play here, does he?

EDIT: Also, TJ's BYC expires AFTER the draft, meaning they would pick for us and us for them and then trade.
I'm certain a better deal could be had straight up after the draft.

I like the trade, but if Jesus doesn't like Toronto then why bother?
