Jalen Rose to Toronto?

[Joe Mama]

I'm not sure if this trade was actually happening, or if they were just reporting a rumor. However on the ESPN halftime show tonight they mentioned the following possible trade.

Chicago trades:
Jalen Rose

Toronto trades:
Morris Peterson
Jerome Williams
someone else (I can't remember who)

Joe Mama

Bulls get raped in that trade....

No kidding. Toronto moves a lot of contracts, 2 of which are pretty bad I think (alvin and Mo pete, not sure on the numbers though), get back 1 big deal.

However, they get a real second scoring option to Vince. Give Bosh 2 more years and Toronto might even be scary.


I have no idea why the bulls do this deal though......

I wouldn't want Rose. He may be a good player, but he's always got something he's not happy about. I don't think Toronto will be a better situation for him than Chicago.

Did you get that from the comment EJ made about him in the Chicago game the other night. Eddie Johnson said that Jalen "always has something he's not happy about." It is an interesting comment. No matter how good a player is, he becomes a lockerroom cancer if he's always got a gripe.

We've got one of those already--kinda. He's got a gripe, but "he just does his job and is a professional" because he's a "team guy."

Sorry, couldn't help it.
