They have overlapping strengths and weaknesses unless one of them develops a better post game and one of them (probably Valanciunas) becomes a better spot up shooter. On offense the combination of Valanciunas and Bargnani seems more complimentary.
Maybe it's not necessary to trade one of the four big man if Davis or Johnson can play minutes as the back-up center in say two/three years when Valanciunas becomes the starting center. To me trading would all depend on what the return would be. Moving Bargnani to the sixth man position in a couple of years would also be interesting because it gives the team the opportunity to give the opponent a completely different look.
As for Davis, he's actually got the makings of a good post game. He's got good footwork, a nice touch around the basket and an ever-expanding jumpshot.
Besides, if you're going to lose on one end, I'd rather it be on offense, where it can be made up by others. You can't make up someone else's poor defense.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!

I like our roster although Barbosa shouldn't be around. Hopefully sonny benefits from his euro tour and can be a decent back up to demar at the SG (I just don't think he can be a capable SF). The only way you can have Bargs Davis Amir and JV on the same team is if you play them all as forwards in different combinations. Bargs/Davis or even Bargs/Amir have to be able to play on the floor together, otherwise one of Bargs Davis Amir has to go. Maybe you can package the odd man out w/ Calderon's expiring or bayless or weems for a pg upgrade."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014

Then again, BC showed he is the master of smoke-screen this past draft by making just about everyone thing he was going to take one of Leonard/Walker/Knight/Biyombo. Maybe (hopefully!) he is doing the reverse with Bargnani now.

No Ajinca. 5 bigs, with Alabi on the bench, giving us a 4 man big rotation.
I don't know why Banks is on there, but we don't need him and won't have him.
4 guys in the 1/2 slots: Demar, Barbosa, Bayless, Calderon.
2 guys at the 3: Johnson, Kleiza
4 bigs: Bargnani, valanciunas, Davis, Johnson.
That's a 10 man rotation, which is all that matters.

The same way amir has learnt to hit it pretty effectively, I see JV doing an ilgauskas impression with those open midranged jumpers. Also Having two bigs on either side of the post that are eager to cut towards the basket and finish strong is good. I think both of them can develop the right skills to compliment eachother and become a a huge front line to deal with. JV ED and Amir have such size up front that Im sure theyll work fine with one another.
