Rumour: Raptors Still Looking For A Big Man

[Heatdreamer]

Iguodala + Lee + 1st round 2017 = fields+ Hansborough + Steemer+ Bebe+ Amir + Hayes
TRoss for Ennis + Plumlee
This puts the Raptors over the luxury tax this year but below the Apron.
Also this does not allow the Raptors to sign a free agent unless they resign Lou Williams , however in 2016-17 there is $22 million coming off the table.

I don't get the obsession over Taj Gibson. How getting another undersized big man, who's the same height as Amir & JJ but weighs about 15-25 lbs less is the solution to our lack of depth in the front court is a mystery. Taj's overall production is down across the board for the Bulls this season, despite averaging the same amount of minutes. His numbers are also not thattt much better than Amir's numbers (he plays about 2 minutes more per game than Amir).

I also agree with the above poster. The Bulls will need to figure out ways to afford Butler, but they're not going to just throw Gibson away for Raptors scraps. They're going to want a lot more than that (I read they want to add another shooting guard/swing man). Gibson is likely not worth the money for what impact he'd actually make to our team.

I'm really hoping Masai can set his sights on someone with a little more size. Having a jumper would be great as well. I like Jordan Hill. Apart from the obvious name "big men" ...Monroe, Millsap, M. Gasol, who may be looked at this summer, what are your guy's thoughts on Jordan Hill? Doesn't cost as much, has more (shooting) range than Gibson and Faried, and can still get you the same rebounds if not more than them. I've also read that Hill has been linked to the Raptors.

You can't be serious

[Heatdreamer]

No I wasn't serious , except I rather trade for Igoudala alone and the end of the season, though Demarre Carroll, may fit the bill.

Lee's cost are just too high for this team killing the cap for next year, because I believe you have to sign Lou Williams for a 2 years plus an option next year. Amir could be offered MLE

But a trade for Ennis and Plumlee for 2015- 1st plus Hansborough.

the size is advantage for Casey, he will be eligible to play small ball in crunch time.

Sign Larry Saunders when he is bought out and pay Saunders League minimum. Hire Sam Mitchell to teach civil obedience and when he graduates JJ can teach him the benefits of finding the correct path.

For minimum salary worth the risk.
