Really depends on what happens with Bargnani, if Bargnani is not traded, or not traded for the player that we need in that position, than you could possibly go after Carl Landry.
Still, depending on what happens with Bargnani and trade assets, as a back-up big, I would take Amir > Landry most times out of 10.Last edited by ReubenJRD; Wed Mar 13, 2013, 12:28 AM.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

I like Landry. Has shown spurts of brilliance of GSW's bench this season. Just reiterating what a lot of people have said within this thread, but a rotation of Amir and Landry at the 4 spot could be close to devastating.Twitter - @thekid_it

Realistically this move wouldn't be to have Landry start, and if it is then our management's even dumber than most of us already think it is. It would mean we're putting our faith in Amir as our starter ( which he's kinda earning next season dudes gonna avg 16, 10 if he starts) and beginning to build a playoff/contending bench. Even teams with the best players in the league have strong bench mobs which is what makes them contenders as well as their stars. Big part of the raptors team is that some nights the bench doesn't show up those are the nights we're doomed. Look at Miami, they got guys like mike miller, battier, rashard lewis, ray allen, bird man coming off the bench. San Antonio.. Manu, Splitter, Neal, Jackson .. and I could go on, all the contending teams have significantly better benches than our compilation of Alan Anderson, John Lucas III, Aaron Gray, Landry Fields.. u fucking kidding me?!? lol
If we can't get a starting calibre PF through trade we will probably put our faith in Amir. TBH unless boozer is gonna for whatever reason turn into a relevant defensive player we should prolly pass on him as well. If we aren't going after Pau first and foremost Amir's the guy, making landry a target viable.

Raptors are over the cap, but not over the tax. I thought the $3M mini exception was for teams that paid luxury tax. So I wouldn't mind knowing why the Raptors only have the mini...
If they use the FULL MLE then they cannot go over the apron of $74M.

"Nowhere does it say "expected", but it appears many are responding as if it came from BC's mouth himself. What Spears wrote was:
"The Raptors are looking for a veteran power forward and could make a run at Golden State's Carl Landry if he opts out of his deal this summer, a source told Yahoo! Sports."
My first reaction when I see "a source told" is to ignore it as the gossip it is, but some source that fed Yahoo but not local media? Really, you're going to take this seriously? The next thing is how carefully worded it is, as in "COULD" make a run at Landry. That wishy washy crap could mean nothing more than pure speculation of who they "could" target based on the need for a PF, and the "source's" speculation on who would fit the financial situation."
