Here is the interesting part though:
... what does that mean for Millsap? And can the Raps get in on that?

Our offense was crap in the playoffs, and the 3-point shooting problems might've been a symptom, not the cause.

If through some miracle they convinced Durant to sign with Atlanta, they would say goodbye to Kurt Hinrich to ditch his cap hold, and trade one of Tiago Splitter or Thabo Sefalosha, and then they have enough to sign Durant while keeping Horford and Kent Bazemore's cap holds intact. They'd go into the tax, but so what? Their starting lineup is Schroeder/Bazemore/Durant/Millsap/Horford, with a bench of Korver, Taurean Prince, DeAndre Bembry, Mike Scott, Tim Hardaway Jr., and whichever of Sefalosha or Splitter stays. Probably Sefalosha. And they sign a couple of key veterans for the minimum to round out the roster. That's an instant title contender.

The big difference between Crawford and Lou to me is that Crawford is a great mentor and teammate. He really helps out anyone coming out of Seattle, which could be nice for all the young guys. Honestly I think thats why Scola was brought in last year, but like Scola hes going to end up playing quite a bit which is hazardous.

If Masai does strike out in the trade market trying to get a star/near star PF, i can see him looking at the FA market lower-tier players like:
Jon Leuer
Andrew Nicholson
Terrence Jones
D.Motiejunas
Dwight Powell
Jared Dudley (could play 3&4)
Imo Leuer is still a guy that i want us to get, the guy fits nicely with either the starters or off the bench, and could be gotten on a good affordable deal.

Jamal Crawford to the Raptors?
Crawford, who does have a meeting scheduled with the Clippers, is also drawing interest from a number of teams in search of a scoring guard. Crawford is expected to receive interest from the New York Knicks, the Miami Heat, the Toronto Raptors, the Dallas Mavericks, the Orlando Magic and the Brooklyn Nets in addition to the Clippers.

I think the key word on the Jamal Crawford rumour is "expected". I interpret the quote to simply be someone looking at Jamal's skillset and trying to line it up with various team needs.
I'm not saying that he doesn't have interest by the Raptors, but that it's quite different from "scheduled to meet"
