Ed Davis is going to be good

tayshaun FINALLY gets a change of scenery

Don't understand giving up Davis from a Raps perspective, they only really have JV as a building block in the front court, him and Davis could have been a great combo

Collangelo is an idiot though...

* While Ontario’s income tax rate is higher than the state income tax rate of any state with an NBA team, Canada’s top federal income tax rate is 29% – considerably less than the top tax bracket in the U.S., which weighs in at 35%. When federal tax rates are included, Toronto’s income tax ranks as the 13th lowest of all NBA cities.
