Seems like every scenario has TO drafting MKG or Davis. I guess this is a 'what if' thread. Those two are most likely going 1-2 or at worst 1-3. I think we as fans need to start looking at the guys projected to go 5-9. Oh, and not Barnes.

If you want to see people's opinion on who to draft I suggest the Draft thread.
Anyway, after Rethinking I came up with a new team, this one is definitly more on the dream side then realistic side.
Nash (Sign in FA)
Evans (Trade DD and Ed)
Smith (Trade Bargs)
A. Davis (Draft with #1)
Val
Bench:
Jose
Bayless
JJ
Amir
Gray

I'd rip it apart.
Here's the future as I see is:
C - Jonas
PF - Drummond
SF - Rudy Gay *
SG - Eric Gordon*
PG - Jose & whoever we draft in the future
Note:*
- Eric Gordon will be had by offering him a max contract. NO is hesitant on a max contract with Gordon. If NO will match then we can offer them DD & ED or Bayless or all three for Gordon and ease them of the financial burden of a max contract and give them building blocks.
- We offer up Bargs & possibly Bayless for Rudy Gay. Mem is going to have to resign Mayo & Allen and they're already bordering the luxury tax zone. They get scorers and cut salary as they have shown that they can go deep w/o Gay.
Why?
Jonas is too skinny to bang with the bigger boys so we'd have a big body in Drummond to back him up. Once Drummond figures it out 'he will' be a monster. We'd have our own version of a M.Gasol/Randolph but with higher potential.
Get two big time scorers who can defend in Gay & Gordon. We have the cap space with a couple of rooks so might as well get two max contracts while we can.
Jose might be a defensive liability but the others are good enough defensively to help out. Jose has the skills to run this team for a long time (see the lesser skilled PG Derek Fisher). Also when his contract is up, we'll prob be able to sign him for much cheaper than now and also draft & groom a successor.

To start I love what Aaron Gray has brought to us and I think Gray is a poor mans Chris Kaman, so this offseason we bring Super Aaron Gray aka Chris Kaman to start at about 8mill a year
next we bring back Sonny Weems, if healthy, to backup his boy Demar
Now the big one! We bring back Kid Canada Mr Steve Nash, if we show him a good team I see no reason he wouldnt want to come back and we give him 10mill a year or even 15mill because we love him that much
AND we draft best SF available (Harrison Barnes, Royce White, Perry Jones III, MKG)
PG: Steve Nash - Jose Calderon
SG: Demar Derozan - Sonny Weems
SF: Harrison Barnes - Linas Kleiza
PF: Andrea Bargnani - Amir Johnson/ Ed Davis
C: Chris Kaman - Jonas Valanciunas
thats next years lineup and if it dont work Calderon's contract is up after that year so thats 10 mill we can spend on either resigning Demar(if he becomes all star next year) or try and sign a SG
but i think that kind of offensive team with Casey's defensive strategy could be very goodLast edited by bust2gust; Tue Apr 10, 2012, 09:14 PM.

I'll let someone else figure out how to make it happen, lol.
Toronto: Jrue Holiday, Rudy Gay, Elton Brand
Utah: Jose Calderon (TPE from Okur), Andre Iguoudala
Philadelphia: Devin Harris, Paul Millsap, Ed Davis, 2012 lottery pick from Utah
Memphis: DeMar DeRozan, Amir Johnson, James Johnson, future lottery protected 1st round pick from Raptors
Raptors draft Brad Beal.
Give Bayless his QO or use MLE to get a backup PG.
Trade Forbes, TPE, and 2 second rounders to Portland for Matthews (lol - not gonna happen).
Bring back Uzoh and Anderson.
Raptors lineup:
PG: Holiday, Bayless/MLE back up PG, Uzoh
SG: Beal, Matthews
SF: Gay, Kleiza, Anderson
PF: Bargnani, Brand, veteran banger
C: Valanciunas, Gray, Alabi
Nice work BryCo and Steffi - enjoy the rest of your summer!Last edited by mcHAPPY; Wed Apr 18, 2012, 01:16 PM.

Haha, nice work Matt. Now there's a lineup I can stand behind, and is young (yet experienced) enough to make some noise in the east. I can even live with Bargnani's deficiencies considering the strong defensive players he's surrounded with.

PG - Nash/Calderon/Uzoh
SG - Derozan/Forbes/Anderson
SF - MKG/J. Johnson/Kleiza
PF - Bargnani/A. Johnson/davis
C - Valanciunas/Gray/Magloire
Sign Nash, draft Gilchrist. Easy dream. All we have to do is hope for the lottery spot, and convince Kid Canada to come to T.Dot.Last edited by ReubenJRD; Fri Apr 20, 2012, 06:53 PM.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
