The evidence would suggest otherwise. Its starting to look like we might have got taken in this trade. Id be more than happy to get back the pick that we traded for Lowry. We are looking like a bottom-feeder with him .. so not sure how great he is. Also, we have JC, who, while I dont love, is the best 2nd option that we have at any position ...Quote:

You guys are crazy to compare Melo and D WIll to Lowry .... not even close to the same caliber of player that those guys were when traded. D Will was considered a top 5 PG in the league (Lowry something like 10-15th), and Melo a top 5 (maybe top 3 SF)Quote:

Really? Is this a serious post? Who were the Raps going to draft with that pick that would be better than Lowry? Any names?Quote:

Yeah, not sure how mountio read that we were comparing Lowry to those 2. The discussion was started when someone said that you mid-season trades with good players never work out.Quote:

I would rather keep Lowry and trade Bargnani. With the recent drama happening in Sacramento with Cousins, would you do a Bargnani for Cousins trade?? I would.
Sam Smith is known for blowing a lot of hot air. Not sure when the last time he's ever had a legitimate scoop.
This makes no sense, and is total BS imho. The only thing thing that makes sense is to trade Jose. I'm OK with starting Jose if it's increase his trade value.
lol. You must be kidding if you think the Kings would ever entertain that offer. Bargnani will not bring back anybody: A) more talented than him, B) more potential than him or C) with a much better contract than him.Quote:

The best we can do is package him with another important Raptor for a quality piece, or just trade for him a whole bunch of crap/cap relief.
We should trade Bargnani and Klieza for PJ3 and Jeremy Lamb.... there I said it.
Impossible. PJ3 and Lamb contracts are MAYBE 1/3 the total of Bargs and Kleiza.
Can't we amnesty Bargnani?? Or was that only available last year? Seriously though...I realized today while watching the New Orleans game that Primo is still on the Raptors. I'd love it if he didn't come back and just faded away like a bad dream.
I think at the end of this season we can amnesty Bargs, Kleiza or Amir. Has to be done during the off-season.
I mean this sincerely, Lowry has too much upside to trade him, oh christ just hearing the idea of trading him makes me want to throat punch all the armchair homers and BC. Get a grip, unless we're getting Josh Smith I want nothing to do with it. NOTHING
Lowry just has to be under control and he will be just fine. Trust your team, stay in control. If he can do that, he will be very good.
Don't trade him, please.
