    Thabo Sefolosha won't be back with the Thunder next year I'm pretty sure. I think he would be a really good pickup, starting alongside DD with TRoss as the backup wing. What I would do also is draft Tyler Ennis with the 20th pick and draft a center with the 37th pick.

    Valanciunas/Hansbrough/Rookie
    Johnson/Patterson/Hayes
    Sefolosha/Fields/Novak
    DeRozan/Ross/De Colo
    Lowry/Vasquez/Ennis
    Sefolosha wasn't getting any minutes in OKC because he's nothing else beside a decent defender. Every 3pt he shoots is wide open and his % is at ,316. He also is 30 years old. Screw that imo.
    Myself (March 2014):
    The raptors are a tremendous young team and will win a championship in the following five years.

      I'd take Losha over the wild salmon any day. At least he's a good defender and athletic

        Yeah problem is Salmons isn't on the books anymore, while we'd be giving Thabo a new contract.

        Zero interest in Sefolosha, people need to stop thinking about Joe Johnson when making suggestions for signings.

        • Sefolosha is a guard anyway, I don't see why we would want him at all. He doesn't bring anything more than Fields does, except he's bad at shooting instead of terrible. And Fields brings a lot more elsewhere, and we're stuck with him anyway.

            Lowry signing for his cap hold is hardly impossible. On a 5 year deal that's 10.7M per year. On a 4 year deal it is 10.4M. So projections are between 10-12M, meaning his cap hold is a pretty good ballpark for his starting salary.

            Not that I'm personally interested in using cap space this year. But I don't think the Raptors are forced not to. Nor do I think being able to offer a 4 year, 38.4M contract is anything to sneeze at.
            I suppose we'll see. The Lowry 5 year / 10.7 mil number is closer to what I expect him to get but I'm not a fan of a backloaded 5 year contract for Lowry. I think your other numbers in this post are optimistic. I think you'd need much more than that to have a shot at Hayward.

            Also, I'd detest this plan. In principle, you'd be giving Lowry year 5 just to make this Hayward offer which I'm sure Utah would match. This is playing the long odds, and it would be a clusterfuck waiting to happen.

            If Hayward was a realistic target, I would want the team to use its cap space this summer. Why not. He's a very good piece. There would still be a lot of cap space in future years. But I don't see how it's realistic.

              With you there. I don't see the Raptors being players in free agency this year. Ujiri seems more like a conservative GM, making solid moves until there's a risk worth taking. If Colangelo was still here I'd fully expect to see Fields and Hayes stretched and a huge offer made to a player like Monroe or Parsons.

                    • Even though this is a free agent topic, but one of our need is rim protection, after Serge Ibaka went down you can just see how desperately Thunders playing without him. I would seek a trade for Charlotte's Bismack Biyombo, a similar typo player as to Ibaka, lack of playing time and showcase opportunities there, so it wouldn't cost us that much to get him.

                      For the free agents, I will go Luol Deng, Dajuan Blaire, Ed Davis and of course Vinsanity!

                        Bismack Biyombo would be a solid addition and fill a need, but not sure how that trade would go down.
