NBA trading starts

Raptors get TJ Ford and the Bucks get Villanueva.
Colangelo is a genius. Ford is a baller. Villanueva is a stud but the raptors have clearly needed help in 1 guard... for YEARS. And as far as young point guards go, it probably goes...
1) Chris Paul
2) Kirk Hinrich
3) TJ Ford
So... while giving up the promising talent in Villanueva sucks, it shouldn't hurt so bad in a team that's already stocked so well in forwards. Bosh is a franchise player, they just drafted the #1 pick in another forward... so... Villanueva was an easy choice. Highly marketable young talent that would get LOTS of interest. Glad the Bucks bit.
An AWESOME trade for Toronto IMO.
