TheStar.com - Raps want Duhon

Toronto made a move for Bulls PG Chris Duhon. The Raptors are probably tapped out at 2.5 million so the Bulls will match their offer and keep Duhon. If Chris developed an outside shot this off-season, he'll be worth every penny.

TheStar.com - Raps want Duhon: "Rob Babcock has identified a free agent he wants but it appears he won't get him.

The Raptors general manager, according to several NBA sources, has made an offer to sign Chicago's restricted free agent point guard Chris Duhon, but the Bulls seem ready to match it.
...
There were no specifics available but given Toronto's obligations, it's likely to have been less than $2.5 million (all figures U.S.) to start. The Bulls had offered him about $2 million in their original negotiations, according to published reports.

Duhon is coming off a solid rookie season in which he started 73 of 82 regular-season games and five of six playoff games. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder averaged 5.9 points and 4.9 assists as a rookie with Chicago."

Toronto GM Babcock has criticized for over paying marginal talent. I'm not as skeptial as others about the roster Toronto GM Babcock has assembled. His 1st round pick last year - a Center - was a bust. It is not clear that the lumbering player will get that much better - ever. This year's pick however is athletic but seemingly redundant with PF Chris Bosh and many thought he reached down into the draft. The player will play a mix of Center and PF and it's reckless to trade down to get the player he felt he needed. Get what you want and not try to second guess other GMs in the increasingly unpredictable draft.
