Should we really trade jose?

[Raptors_]

I personally like jose and think he will be a great mentor for a new PG we might draft.

[CB4]

I'm not sure what that video proves. He's a good international point guard but he is just average in the NBA and also happens to be payed like a star. Does he even mentor Bayless at all?

[DunkinDerozan]

In a heartbeat. His value will never be higher and he is one groin tweak away from crippling the team financially for two years with with a new CBA coming.

lets hope / pray other gm's don't read this comment lol.

You are right. I deleted it*. lol

*yes, I know people will still read it in your quote.

Yes. Jose's a solid veteran but his best skill (court vision) is not one that he can teach to a younger PG. That is simply a "have it or not" type of skill. If they can find value for Jose and not take back bad long-term contracts in the process, I'd absolutely deal him.

[jd4]

Depends on what happens in the draft. If we get Irving, for sure we move Jose. I'm sure teams like the Lakers and Heat would love to have him. I would hope we'd be able to get a SF or defensive centre for him. It would be nice to keep him around to mentor Irving should we get him but not at his salary.

he's actually the perfect pg for a triangle offense team. it's almost retarded how much sense him to the twolves makes.

but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm not against trading Calderon if it makes the team better, but I see no reason to trade him just to trade him. He's a good solid veteran that works hard, doesn't complain and makes his teammates better.

[e2thed]

ye we need to trade him for a backup center, and trade bargs for a pg, and draft a sf

[knickz]

a guy like jose

I couldn't have said it any better.

This pretty much sums it up.

If they draft a PG in the lotto and can sign a good free agent PG then I say go for it.

or trade for Raymond Felton?

[Apollo]

Yeah, that would also be a good scenario but I hold the stance that the Raptors will still need another PG to help carry the weight because Bayless isn't ready yet.

Who would you prefer: Bayless or a healthy Flynn?

I would go with the undersized Flynn, more dynamic and a purer point guard.....as long as he is off the bench.

Yes, it was absolutely in the context of a back up.

Flynn without question.
