Toronto is overstocked with front court players and is looking for backcourt 
help; epsecially a 3rd PG because all they have is Alvin Williams and Chris 
Childs. I'd LOVE to see the C's pry Brian Skinner away from them in exchange 
for a sign and trade deal involving Chris Carr. Skinner is making a modest 
$1.48M or so and is in the final year of his Rookie (1st rounder) contract. 
Coincidentally, $1.44m is the unrenounced cap value of Chris Carr. It would 
be a match made in heaven for both teams. Randy Brown might be attractive to 
them if he was healthy but a straight up one for one deal wouldn't work 
because of Brown's salary.

Another deal that would work after Dec.15 is Palacio for Mamadou N'Diaye also 
with Toronto. N'Diaye has been getting good reviews in the Raptors camp thus 
far and is only making $793,221 this season. The C's would instead keep 
Herren if they could move Palacio. Because herren doesn't have a guaranteed 
deal for the entire year, the C's couldn't offer him instead of Palacio. 
Miami is reportedly interested in Herren if he gets cut.

Keon Clark, another Toronto front court player, might also be available.
