It’s been a tough summer for the Toronto Raptors. First they lose Chris Bosh, their franchise player, to the Miami Heat. Then they overpaid for average players, namely million for Amir Johnson. Then they had a trade unravel when the Charlotte Bobcats backed out at the last second. On Monday, the Raptors saw another trade unravel that would have brought Matt Barnes to Toronto.

But this time, it was their fault.

Somehow general manager Bryan Colangelo doesn’t know the rules regarding NBA trades and ended up agreeing to an illegal trade. The two-year, million contract Colangelo promised Barnes simply wasn’t possible. Rumors indicate that the Raptors are calling it a “miscalculation”. Really? Miscalculations can happen in a fantasy league but shouldn’t happen in the NBA.

Barnes will now go back on the open market and look for a comparable deal — and one that isn’t illegal.

Hopefully Matt Barnes didn't spend that million yet (Image: TSN.ca)
