Trade Bargs sure, but the Boozer thing is the most sideways trade they could make. Raptors trade for aging veteran with bad contract? Seen that movie before too.

I'm more interested in what they...

No excuse for playing Anderson when you have Gay, DeRozan, Ross and Fields all on the same roster.

Basically any time AA and JL3 are in the game together the Raptors offense self-destructs.

Winning solves everything.

Gay is a vastly superior all-around player to Bargnani. It's not even close in any realm.

I'm not a believer in "clutch", but I am a believer in the fact that some...

I'd be fine with having him on the roster over Pietrus. Warrick is a passable big, but he's not going to bring a ton of size either. Not as good on the boards as you'd expect.

Nonsensical.

The wing rotation will be even better once Anderson gets glued to the bench and Ross starts playing 20-25 minutes every night.

I'm okay with it. Pass-first creating back-up PG is something the Raptors can use. JL3 has been hot lately, but when him and AA are on the floor together the Raps always seem like they're about to...

No Lowry = no hope at this point.

Without him to act as a catalyst, this team doesn't have enough difference makers on the roster.

Balancing development of a young team with trying to win isn't easy. Most teams can't do it. Especially when you lack elite talent.

Not sure another wing that can't score is what the Raptors need.

I'm okay with fields for now. But eventually you want to see Ross and Derozan starting together.

That made me chuckle. I believe they've played charity golf together in the past.

Ah Rod Black. He was so brutal doing those early NBA games up here when the Raptors and Grizzlies first got a...

I mean it's possible, but it's just as possible they would want to move Randolph who is older and coming off injuries and a down season.

I'm not sure that the Raptors would want to pony up for...

Hasn't this been the case for many years now?

I can't even remember the last time CTV was carrying Raptor games.

Andrew Bynum? No thanks.

Sure he's a great player when he feels like it. But he's been in the league 7 years. He's not a kid anymore.

I'd rather not pay franchise player money to a guy who...

I'm gonna guess he's played his last game as a Raptor. Casey isn't gonna tolerate a gunner who can't shoot a good percentage, or defend, or do anything else of value.

Good for him. Might as well make some money.

Good for the Raps too, because with DD, Bayless and Barbosa on the roster he was clearly the odd man out.

You need elite talent SOMEWHERE.

Does it *have* to be at PG? No. But if you do not have elite talent anywhere else, you can't afford to carry a point guard who is a liability half the time.

Teams aren't just going to give away a lottery pick.

The Cavs got VERY lucky with that lottery, on top of the Clippers being dumb and trading that pick. Though a healthy Eric Gordon would've...

Whether I like the pick or not, this is good news. Glad the buyout got done right away.

Heavy sigh.

Oh well, at least we've got that head start on another lottery pick next season.

Maybe BC will make this move okay for me by trading Bargnani.

I would definitely consider him at 5, depending how the first four picks go. I'd rather have him over Vesely or any of the bigs really.

Would love to see him in Toronto on the Raps, but sadly the Raps are picking too high this year. If they were in the bottom half of the lottery I'd jump all over him.

Of course. The Mavs were a veteran team with a variety of skills (most notably, the ability to shoot the ball) and an excellent coaching staff.

I was pretty pleased to see the Miami "blueprint"...

Big difference between a guy who can play multiple positions and a guy who can play none.

Mitchell. Not even close, given how far gone Lenny seemed to be in Toronto.
