Everything RAPTORS 2015 Trade Deadline

[hotfuzz]

what would you offer for Mr. Kanter?

3 1st rounders, Lowry, JV and Ross.

Considering Howard, he's not worth any trade right now as his career is currently in question due to constant serious injuries he's having recently.

I was just going through every team 1 through 15 and decided we are standing pat. No trades for Toronto this year...let's shut it down people

I don't think Masai does anything significant at the trade deadline, could see a small deal being done like the Daye - DeYolo trade.

But really, what's the point of making even a medium sized trade now? I don't think there is any trade out there right now that will push the Raptors to title contender status. All you'd be doing is sacrificing youth and flexibility for no real significant improvement.

This.

There isn't really any need, there is nothing out there

That wasn't Masai.. and it shouldn't set the standard on trade value. BC should have absolutely got Harden. you're talking league MVP material here.

My bad if that wasn't Masai, and by no means does it set the standard at all. Let us remember that not a single person on earth would have thought that Harden was MVP caliber. Remember he was just a good offensive weapon amongst great weapons. Yeah sure hindsight dictates we should have traded for him but the standard for me is: don't give up JV for ONLY a scorer. Harden didn't play D and never showed he could lead a team.

Whole depth? Even just with Jones, Dwight and Smith Houston has lots of depth, not to mention that Dorsey, Papa and Capela are great backups defensively. Heck, they can even grab Sanders or try to get Kanter if they want to improve it as much.

Considering the needs, do you believe that few more rebounds per game is what will improve the Raptors so much that it will be worth the trade? Plumlee would be nice pickup, I'm just not sure if I agree with "we need a rebounder" statement, we need all around player like Amir, but it looks like there's not much to choose from. Btw, half of these teams are not even making the playoffs.
RPG for teams.


Meanwhile Atlanta is 27th, rebounding is not that relevant, not the real issue/need imo.

Jones and Dwight are injured. Dorsey and Paps are undersized, Capela isn't ready for the NBA.

Rebounds are huge in the playoffs. Miami made up for it by having one of the best small ball lineups. Atlanta makes up for it by getting highly efficient shots. It's not the most important thing, but it's something to address. (The most important right now are perimeter D and inside D.)

every trade I thought of was ultimately either lateral (meaning any eventual small improvement may cost chemistry now), cost us future flexibility, or a rental (which is gambling with the future) as much as I love the trade machine, there are no game changers available. So as someone else said...perhaps there is a De Colo type move but otherwise I really don't see the point.

Afflalo for Ross and Fields.

Afflalo for Ross and Fields.

falls under rental also there are numerous sources on record saying Denver would want a 1st round pick as well which falls under mortgaging the future for a rental...a bad move twice over without a guarantee to take his option or resign. Love the player though

[Joey]

3 1st rounders, Lowry, JV and Ross.

Sold to the drunk guy!

Sure he's got a player option, but he's not stupid enough to throw away 8 mil.

I think a guy like David West would make us a much better team than we are now.

he's smart enough to know he could throw it away and get a three or four year deal somewhere he choses over somewhere he was sent

[Hurricane_Herm]

I think a guy like David West would make us a much better team than we are now.

I very much agree with this as well, although a lot of people here do not. He provides toughness, post presence, and best of all: his contract is over next year which means cap relief for 2016
