Because I think, if dealt, he'll be headed to a "real" playoff contender, the picks we'd be getting, if any, wouldn't all that great, but with a seemingly deeper draft, it could be useful.
But hopefully the Raptors will receive a fair package of young players, with that bad contact and maybe a second rounder.

Chances O'Neal gets Dealt: 63%

Where did you get that percentage?

Unfortunately I think that O'Neal isn't going to get dealt.

Yeah.. I can't see anyone taking him. We shot ourselves in the foot. We can probably get more for his expiring contract next year anyways.

at this point, i rather deal Calderon for a SF or SG.. play Parker as starting PG, but have Ukic play 20 minutes/game

Calderon for Felton! (not going to happen but just a thought)

Trade Calderon for a wing player... and then you propose a deal having us trade Calderon for a point guard with less skill.. hrmm..

Felton makes a perfect SG =)

Felton= more turnovers, low percentages, less assist... Larry Brown will be very happy with the trade. Sorry not to say the same about CBosh opinion. It is a very bad trade.

Let Calderon be healthy and play his game!!

We have a PG, a PF and a Center... If we keep JO and improve wings via draft! And a new coach! We are set.

We can trade JO, and in the free agent period try to get Odom. Odom will play great for us. He is so talented player!!
Or we can try Marvin Williams instead...but there isn't much left in free agent list 2009!!

It came from my NBA expertise and a PHD in Math

... So don't read too much into it. But I think you can change that % too 98%
