Ugh .... I don't think for a second that it would happen, but kind of scared me for a moment when I read Doug's article and Jay comments this morning.
That being said, right now assuming that Dampier doesn't come to Toronto would most agree with Amir will be starting along side Andrea?

One of the major questions to be answered at training camp for the Raptors is who will start alongside Andrea Bargnani in the frontcourt.
If coach Jay Triano has any idea who that might be, he’s not letting on.
He’s lauding every possibility.
“We think there’s a couple of guys,” he said after the Raptors worked out at the University of British Columbia on Saturday. “I think that Reggie (Evans) is a very good player with him on the floor, I think that Amir (Johnson) is a very good player with him on the floor because they set good screens, they roll hard to the basket, the don’t demand the basketball a lot but they still find ways to come up with it.
I think we can have (Linas) Kleiza on the floor with Andrea, too, that will create another shooter and if teams are even thinking about double-teaming, it’s not going to happen.”
Triano said he’s not about to worry about figuring out specific starting units yet because he has other issues to deal with in the final three practices before Wednesday’s pre-season opener against the Phoenix Suns.
“For the most part, it’s cleaning up our offence and adding a few more plays,” he said. “This is only practice No. 7, we have to keep adding, do different (defensive) coverages and drilling them.”
