Talks broke down Saturday between Paxson and Raptors general manager Glen Grunwald, who discussed a deal sending Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall to Toronto for Antonio Davis, Morris Peterson and Michael Bradley. Grunwald wanted to include Alvin Williams, and when Paxson refused because of Williams' health concerns, talks stopped.

But both sides still would like to get something done, and now that the media coverage of the trade possibility has subsided, talks are expected to resume.
