Triano makes changes as Raptors in free-fall
Patience is wearing thin, changes are being made and as the Raptors
free fall through the Eastern Conference standings, coach Jay Triano is
taking a hard-line approach.
Latest Raptor Trade Rumor
The NBA is nothing if not a giant trade rumour but this one involving
the Raptors piques your attention: The rumbling is the Raps considering
sending underachieving point guard Jose Calderon to Sacramento for the
Kevin Martin who doesn’t curl. Martin can score from the two-guard,
can’t play much defence, and wouldn’t that make him the perfect Raptor?
Bosh Not Handing Out Discounts?
Toronto’s Chris Bosh doesn’t sound like he’ll be giving anyone a discount when he becomes a free agent next summer.
"That’s a good question," Bosh said before his game against the Knicks
– one of his potential suitors – when asked if he’d be willing to
accept something less than a max deal in order to play with better
talent. "I don’t know (laughs). I don’t know about (LeBron James and
Dwyane Wade). I really don’t know. Like I said, it’s a business, so
that would be tough to do. You’d really have to make a big commitment
to do that."

Toronto Still interested in Marion for a discount
Doug Smith – Sports Reporter
Toronto also remains in contention to re-sign forward Shawn Marion, who is attracting very little interest on the open market.
General manager Bryan Colangelo said last week he had a number in mind for a contract offer to Marion, who was paid almost $18 million last season and will surely take a significant pay cut.
