Would Utah consider trading their #6 and #12 for Raptor's #3? If they would the Raptor's could get Kemba Walker or Brandon Knight at the #6 and maybe Bismack Biyombo at the #12! Possibility or not? Maybe Utah would like to trade up to get someone better thus giving the Raptor's 2 picks!

Not a bad idea but, if the draft had Barnes and Sullinger in it that might be a possibility, this draft's top 5 is too weak for that kinda trade. Unless we get 1st pick and trade it to Utah for both of theirs.

I suggested someting like this before the trade deadline. The next day Colangelo said he did not want more rookies (traded miami's pick right after). I have not heard anything to make me think he has changed his mind.
I think this would be a great decision, as many other posters do as well, but I am not sure Colangelo does.
I guess all we can do is wait and see.

If we got three it wouldn't be a bad idea to trade down but I still want reports of how Kanter and Vesely's workouts go....and don't fool yourself we know Colangelo will be working out most of the Euro'sOpinionated blog about current NBA news and our very own Toronto Raptors

PG: Kemba, Bayless
SG: Derozan, CJ Miles
SF: JJ, Kleiza
PF: ED, Amir
C: Biyombo, Al Jefferson, Alabi
with a salary of only $49M (including Barbosa if he opts in which is likely). Add Barbosa as sparkplug trade bait (&expiring) for assets, and $$ to chase FA like TYoung, WChandler, AAfflalo, Green?, DJordan, JR Smith, DCook, KAzubuike, and TPE opportunities as laid out in the TPE trade thread. It does not leave money to chase players like Tyson Chandler or Marc Gasol. EDIT: (unless Barbosa is gone/does not opt in).

I always hate the idea of trading down, because basically you're getting lesser talents. And in this draft, the difference between 3 and 6 could be huge. In 2005, Portland traded their 3rd pick for the 6th pick. And they lost out on Deron Williams and took Martell Webster, instead. The next year they learned from their mistake and traded up, from the 4th pick, and Tyrus Thomas, to the 2nd pick, and LaMarcus Aldridge.
In the NBA two good players don't equal a great player. And the best way to draft a great player is to get the highest pick possible.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!
