Well well. Looks like the Golden Child might finally be doing something right! A four team trade with Toronto, Dallas, Memphis and Orlando that brings in Hedo Turkoglu, Devean George, Antoine Wright, preserves the MLE and biannual exceptions, and means we don’t have to renounce Carlos Delfino’s rights. And all we give up is Shawn Marion, Kris Humphries and Quincy Douby.

This is apparently the confirmed deal, pending league approval (sometime today). I’m not going to get it into it too much until it’s official - I’m scared shitless Orlando will back out - but if it stands, I’m a happy Raptors fan.

I won’t call it a “masterstroke” as Doug Smith has until I see what, if anything, Colangelo does with the exceptions and Delfino. But at this point - it’s looking like a fantastic move.
