Thoughts on his lists?

Would move up the CV-TJ swap to 2nd.

I think that move gets underrated just because of how things ended with Ford. People remember the selfish Ford who pouted on the bench when he came back from that Horford injury and forget just how good he was for the Raptors pre-Horford. His play in the first year and a half with the team was without a dobut the best production the Raptors have gotten from a point guard since Damon Stoudamire and he was undoubtedly the best player that Bosh ever played with (since he became the number 1 option). He was arguably the biggest reason for the Raptors winning the Atlantic Division and kept that team afloat the following year when Bosh got hurt/was struggling and he put the team on his back.

 

I still think that the injury he suffered against Horford pretty much ruined his career. He hasn't even been close to the same player since then and he was a damn good player in Toronto.
