I Heart the ESPN Trade Machine

Man, do I ever! So, being a Raptors fan, I am always looking to improve upon a roster filled with deficiencies. One Shawn Marion, currently of the Miami Heat, would be a cure-all for what ails the Rap's porous D. And help immensely with their atrocious rebounding. Imagine a front line of Bosh, JO and the Matrix? Sick sick sick. All of them are capable of averaging 20 pts, 10 rebs. I know that being on the court at the same time would see their respective stats go down slightly, but that is a killer lineup. All we (*when i say "we" it always means the Raps) have to do is trade Bargs, Hassan Adams, Jason Kapono, Roko Ukic, some other scrub, a draft pick and cash considerations!
Someone get Colangelo on the phone! Let's make this shizz happen!
But alas, the Trade Machine does not take into effect the reality of the basketball world, only the dreams of thousands of basketball fans the world over. It only takes into account the League's convoluted team salary structure. I even had a three-way deal completed that saw Vince Carter go to the Heat, and Marion to the Raps. New Jersey got everyone else.
In short, the Trade Machine is more addictive than crack and Spider Solitaire put together. Maybe Isaiah Thomas could've used this program, God knows he could not have done any worse.

If Isaiah had opted for more trade machine and less crack and spider solitaire he would not have had to watch Zach Randolph jacking up threes with 15 seconds left on the shot clock.

I just hope Isiah somehow gets the gig to run the WNBA, so we can kill two birds with one stone.
By birds, I mean things that are shitty.
