Oh and as far as the "better fit" argument goes, pretty tough to make a case for that so far given how well him and Gay have played together.

Why is everyone on this site so eager to trade Derozan, and for inferior players to boot! (See Mayo, OJ). Twenty nine other teams would love to have a 23 year old shooting guard playing the way he...
And another part of the plan that I haven't seen anyone mention is that at the end of next season when Gasol moves on, Lowry's contract is up and he'll be a free agent. We could really use that 19...
I don't fully agree with the not winning part. Dallas won a couple years ago with 1 legit star in Dirk and a real emphasis on team ball and depth.
Good point. I think he's another realistic target for us. Denver's got too many talented wings to not look at trading one for something of need.
I should clarify, he's 29, but will be 30/31 when his contract is up.
Need more salary beyond just Granger to make it work. And I'm not sure Indiana throws in Hansbrough and a draft pick to boot.
At this point, it looks like the Gay deal is dead, Gasol is a total dud this year, and Cousins is staying put. I think one of the few plausible, realistic deal possibilities remaining for the Raps is...
Agree with all of the above. But don't forget the schedule, it's a big big factor as well.
Sorry but when did Demar become more expendable than Ed? This is a guy who has been in the conversation recently as maybe the 2nd best SG in the East. And it's not a youth or potential thing as they...
Raptors.com is probably your best bet. It may not be posted on there right away, but hopefully within a few days. I'm not positive though.
Sorry I should mention its on nba tv Canada.
This episode of Open Gym is chronicling the raps hitting rock bottom on their 5 game road trip and the resurgence afterwards. The behind the scenes access is great. It's compelling stuff I must say.

Realistic trade on both sides I think. If I'm the Raps I make that deal.
I like the thought of Hansbrough off the bench...
Not that this is a definitive measure, but Hollinger's ranking has him as the second rated point guard after Chris Paul, with a PER of 23.57.

Here it is on trade machine: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=cuvh7fd
Raptors give up: Bargnani, Calderon, Amir, Kleiza
Raptors get: Boozer, Deng (and I would throw in a 1st rounder...

You know I was liking this signing already, but based on the video above I'm now LOVING it. Regardless of whether he adds anything on the court, if at the very least he...
Thanks for articulating everything I was thinking tonight. Agree with every single point.
Something troubling seems to be bubbling around these Raptors. I'm getting the sense that maybe the players are starting tune out the coach. I can't put my finger on it but the body language and the...
Am I the only one that thinks trading for Gasol is a terrible idea? Why would we want to add a 32 year old making 20 million this year and next? We are still a young rebuilding team that is not...
Ok relax Axel, I missed that. He was just for salary matching purposes anyway, so replace him with another player that works. How about you take your meds next time before you reply to a post.
Raptors get: Paul George, George Hill, Darko Milicic
Indiana gets: Calderon, Terrence Ross, Derrick Williams
Minny gets: Bargnani
I think that is realistic and good for all three teams....
The way I see it, Boozer can be our starting PF for the next two years at which point hopefully Davis or Amir can take the starting spot. Deng is only 27, same age as Bargnani and is our answer...
Calderon, Bargnani, TRoss, and Kleiza to Chicago for Deng and Boozer. I think that's a realistic scenario and I would make that trade today.
