As the trade deadline is getting closer, NBA teams are still evaluating any chance of trade that can strenghten their squad for the remaining season or ease the financial burden emanated from the expensive and undesirable contracts they have. One of this type of trade has happened between the Rapstors and Miami Heat last night.
While Miami added Jermaine O'Neal and Jamario Moon from the Raptors into their team, Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks moved to the other side of the border. Thanks to this trade, the Raptors were able to rid of the pricey contract of O'Neal and to have a chance to form more versatile squad on the court by creating a balancing mixture among Bosh, Bargnani, Marion and Calderon. On the other hand, the Heat have got another scoring option, and they can be more effective in the paint. Due to the fact that they already have a promising rookie, Michael Beasley who can play in the same position that Marion does, it has not been very hard for them to make a decision to trade Marion in favor of O'Neal.
Personally, I expect better results from the Raptors after the All-Star weekend is over. Time will tell...
