Grantland's Trade Deadline diary (with Simmons and Lowe) comment on all things trade deadline including the Raptors blockbuster:
http://grantland.com/features/the-trade-deadline-diary/
Zach Lowe (3:10 PM EST)
Hold up! One for the buzzer! The Raps trade Austin Daye for Nando De Colo! I actually like that one for Toronto. De Colo is interesting, with a weird skill set and some high-level national experience. Daye has basically done nothing in the NBA beyond having his agent call every team he’s been on to complain about his lack of playing time. But long ago he projected as semi-stretch power forward, and if you’re the Spurs (Hubie Brown mode: engaged!) and you have a million marginal NBA ball handlers, why not flip one for Darren Daye’s kid?
Bill Simmons (3:12 PM EST)
The Spurs go through stretch-4’s like Leo goes through models. Is that really it? We’re ending on “Austin Daye for Nando De Colo”?

Toronto Raptors: B-
In limited minutes this season, de Colo has actually put up a respectable 13.5 PER. The development of young guards Patty Mills and Cory Joseph made him expendable to the Spurs, but with the Raptors, he has a chance to supplantJulyan Stone and Dwight Buycks as an insurance fourth guard. De Colo's ability to play both guard spots is a plus.

We got a guard who can play PG or SG and who got 12 mins per game ON THE SPURS for a guy who apparently played in 8 games this year (Can't remember seeing him on the courts ever)The name's Bond, James Bond.

Overall, it's not an A+ I suppose if you consider deals they didn't make...but it's hard to take off points for those, because they may have not been good deals in the end.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostI think it's for the quality of the deal specifically...getting a combo guard who could be an insurance PG or limited minute backup SG....for Austin Daye. I mean, it's not like De Colo has been anything special, but turning a piece you aren't using for a piece you may use has no real negative to it.

He will be what he was for the Spurs- an end of the rotation guard that you can plug in for Lowry or Vasquez on occasion.

You know what's funny about this trade? the Knicks i think could really use a guy like De Colo. But they were too focused on big name players like Rondo and Lowry and Teague even though they don't have any assets to trade for any of those guys.
De Colo i think is good enough to battle Felton for their starting PG position. Specially with the way Felton is playing.Mamba Mentality
