    • I've been reading RR for the past two seasons and decided it was now time to add my contributions.

      Expect more data discussion ramblings once I import the raw data into a local database!

                  • First post as a member ...

                    I've posted before on RR Comments ... So far, I'm convinced the following is what is probable & do-able ...

                    1) Extend Bryan Colangelo.
                    2) Extend Jay Triano.
                    3) MOVE ANDREA BARGNANI to #1 Swing Forward.
                    4) Trade the $9M Traded Player Exception for best offer, period.
                    (It can be an extra draft pick next year.)
                    5) (Trade down to #10? to ...) DRAFT JIMMER FREDETTE (#11), for his 3-point shooting.
                    6) SIGN Restricted Free Agent MARC GASOL (7.5-15.5M/yr over 4 yrs) for his
                    shot-blocking, rebounding & in-out passing.
                    7) Sign Free Agent Joey Dorsey as an injury sub.
                    8) Sign Free Agent Reggie Evans as a player-coach.
                    9) Sign Free Agent Point/Swing Guard ________? as a list player.

                    Rotation=
                    CALDERON, BAYLESS, Fredette & ________?
                    BARGNANI, DEROZAN, BARBOSA, J. JOHNSON & KLEIZA.
                    M. Gasol, A. JOHNSON, DAVIS, DORSEY, EVANS & SOLOMAN.

                    What do you think?

                              sorry man but no offense but your suggestion is... not good. No matter what position Nani is playing he'll still play bad defense. People think that if we move him to PF he'll be more effective but really it will just screw up our team even more. PF's will eat him alive and SF's r way to quick for him. Trading him is the only solution. Trade down for jimmer fredette? that dude is a 6'2" bargnani. He just jacks up shots, he plays worse defense then nani, he is terrible at setting up his teammates. He is NOT the PG we're looking for. Rest of the stuff u said was ok though.

                                The reasons I'd move Andrea to SF are:
                                1) so that Marc Gasol can take his place at C
                                2) Bryan isn't going to trade him, in my opinion
                                3) his overall game is undervalued by many in the Raptor Nation (he IS the 3rd best player we have).

                                I just want Jimmer for his 3s. With Gasol improving the O inside, and Jimmer both improving our 3s and making José and Jerryd realize that they have to make their 3s to keep Jimmer on the bench ... I think that the lanes would open up for Ed, Amir, DeMar & James.
