The New Orleans Hornets and Toronto Raptors have agreed in principle on a five-player trade that would send Peja Stojakovic and Jerryd Bayless to the Raptors for Jarrett Jack, David Andersen and Marcus Banks, a source told ESPN.com Saturday.

...

In order for the deal to pass muster under league rules, it actually would be executed as two separate trades to get around a restriction preventing Bayless from being included in a multi-player deal prior to Dec. 23 -- two months from the date the Hornets acquired Bayless from Portland.

A trade call likely will take place in about an hour.

ESPN should check its own trade machine

Two point guards and a backup center? Hmmm.

I don't get why trade him now, and for that?

what a fitting final raping of the hornets organization by Peja that would be...albeit indirectly

If it does go through, at least Jack does seem to be a true backup PG option. But for an expiring and and a younger, better prospect?

He can't be traded with someone else until then. We could trade him straight up for Jarrett Jack though if Toronto was cool with it.

I know lots of people like Jack, but this hoopshype description of him sounds a lot like Bayless.

quote:

A bulldog... Very strong point guard... Not afraid of going to the hole... Able to absorb contact and make the shot near the basket... Quick hands... Must improve his shot off the dribble... Not very good running the break... Turnover prone.


Plus what little I've read about the raptors this season they like Jack and I can't see them trading him for a similar player. Banks would just be expiring filler and Andersen is a finesse center, not a banger. I just don't see it for either side.

That is an absolutely terrible trade. Bayless is better than Jack once he gets comfortable in this offense, and I don't even know who those other two players are.

Cmon Seriously!?!!?!

I love CP as much as the next guy but really?

Why not just make this cat the GM?

We're literally looking EXACTLY like Cleveland was the previous 2-3 years with Lebron

I don't like this trade. At least Peja can hit 3's for us

I don't know too much about the other two besides Jack, but I said that same thing about Belinelli and Smith. I trust Demps and our scouts, if we do this, then it has to be a good trade. I don't think they'd blow Peja's contract for a bad trade. I guess this means they really do want to hang on the Thornton, at least for now.

Apparently CP3 is BFFs with Lebron & now Jarrett Jack?

yeah ,
on the surface of it I really don't know what to think of this alleged trade. Part of me doesn't like it because I think B-Rex has more upside than Jack does. I know shite about the other two...the other part of me says trust the FO , they obviously know what they are doing , but what strikes me as curious is the fact Marcus isn't mentioned....sure seems strange given all that has gone down since the season started.
