Toronto out: Landry Fields, Austin Daye, 2016 1st round pick (NYK)
Utah out: Marvin Williams, Jeremy Evans
Raps New Lineups
Rubio/Vazquez/Stone/Bycks
Ross/Salmons
M.Williams/S.Muhammad/J.Evans
Love/Patterson
Val/Hansborough/Hayes
Why Raptors: We move to a new era, the Kevin Love era. Love is that PF we need for this team to team up with Val. Love will be our franchise PF moving forward and together, he and Val will be the cornerstone of our franchise. We acquire Rubio and might seek to keep either him or Vazquez in the offseason by trading one of them and acquire a top pick in the draft and grab Marcus Smart. We rid of Fields contract for an expiring in M.Williams + Jeremy Evans by giving them a pick as well (NYK). Truth is none of the picks we will acquire in the draft this year can get us a Kevin Love or Ricky Rubio so I think the trade will work. We might tank or make to the playoff this year but our pick will be traded to the Wolves (Top 15 protected). If we do end up picking in the range of 10-15, then I say grab Rodney Hood or Noah Vonleh and mode the latter as a SF. Next year we will have
Smart?/Rubio or Vazquez/3rd SG
Ross/Backup SG/2nd Round pick
Hood or Vonleh?/S.Muhammad?/Third String SF
Love/Patterson/Third String PF
Val/Hansborough/Third String C
