Bulls, Raptors continue trade talks
( 2003-11-24 11:16) (Xinhua)
The Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors were not expected to produce a deal
involving with Bulls' top-score Jalen Rose on Sunday, according to papers
reports on Sunday.
The Bulls were planning to send Rose and Donyell Marshall to the Raptors for
Antonio Davis, Morris Peterson and a throw-in player to match salaries, several
local reports said.
"Several names are being tossed around," a league source said. The source
also said it's possible that the deal could happen Monday.
"We were talking, as I do with many teams," Bulls operations chief John
Paxson was quoted as saying on Saturday. "Names and salaries matching up came
out.
"But in this case, it had not even gotten to the point where I would consider
going to my staff."
Rose was obviously frustrated when he learned the news Friday at Los Angeles.
He shot only 2-11 with three turnovers in only 22 minutes in a 101-94 loss to
the Lakers.
