Yeah, the Raptors need another guy to spread the floor. I would not be shocked if Colangelo went after Granger.
What would it take, that's the question? West only has a year left on contract and he really didn't fit in Indiana this year. He could be on the move again. That said, there is room for Amir and Ed in Indiana I think... So them plus a lottery protected 1st rounder. The Raptors eat the extra cap and belch in celebration.
My opinion is that to find a solid mid-range shooter you have to look either Euro or stretch 4. The way young players are playing now is that the points come either in the paint or outside the 3pt line. Being involved in ball, I find it sad to see the way is going. Many players would rather look good and loose than look bad and win, and that carries over to development. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing highlight plays, but to see a kid in a game try some And1 ballhandling move and have people go nuts, only to still have his defender in front of him is frustrating. 15 foot jumpers just don't excite people.
Love the idea of Granger or Ilyasova (as a consolation prize). However, I would hate to lose ED to get him. I would. But I wouldn't like it.
take it with a grain of salt but i just read this on thescore.com http://blogs.thescore.com/raptorblog...ys-one-writer/
personally i think the chances are 50/50...
FanNation, CNNSI's rumor mill section, has also picked up the story: http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_r...ave-for-canada
If Nash ever were to sign with Toronto, BC would suddenly have yet another attractive asset to work with to further improve his team. A veteran, pass-first PG on an expiring contract, that could bring back up to $13.3M in salary ($10.56M*1.25 + 0.1)... what an offseason for Raptors fans!
I really don't get why people like OJ Mayo. He's a shooter that doesn't shoot very well, isn't much of a finisher, his assist to turnover ratio is pretty bad, and his defence comes and goes not only game to game but possession to possession. What's the appeal?
He is actually a decent shooter, 36.4% from 3 point land. As far as the other aspects I don't really watch the grizzlies enough to make a comment on it though the assist to turnover I agree
Whoever told you skies the limit is looking dumb because I'm 22 and i'm moonwalking on the sun.
I have to agree.
Also, he has a knack for inciting fights at 30,000 feet over card games.
I would rather spend $2.5M on Danny Green than $8M on Mayo (dollar amounts are guesstimates on my part).
I would do it and I would like it. To improve you must make sacrifices and so dealing a guy like Ed is all apart of the game. It would be the kind of trade where Ed could go on to maybe be a double double guy eventually for the Pacers but would never do it for the Raptors because he'd never get the playing opportunity to grow like that here. For me, looking at it that way, the Raptors are paying with something that would never be in Toronto to get something real right now.
Know where that percentage puts him in 3pt% for all 2-guards? 28th.
From the same report mentioned in post #19 of this thread.
I think I asked this before, but does anyone know if Ilyasova can play the 3? I looked at his number and he is an excellent rebounder with a high PER, but his assist numbers are worse than DeRozan. Does he have handles to speak of? I really have no idea. I didn't watch a lot of Bucks games this year.
If there's any truth to the Nash rumour, that would certainly explain Colangelo's confidence in his claims for the upcoming season.

Thats the first thing that came to mind...
although you never know with B-Co, is he sitting on Pocket Rockets, or the Hammer.
Ok, before any reasoning clicked in my first reaction was something like this:
That said, does it make more sense to sign Nash rather than to spend that money on someone long term?
depends on the money i think.. seems like from that article he would be here on a 3 year deal... assuming we get Nash for a decent price & decide to slip jose into the back up spot.. it could do wonders to prolong both there carreers a bit... plus i think it was BC who said he wanted a PG who could push the tempo up..nash sure fits that bill... jose is great in half court offence & would surley accept comming off the bench..
Hard to imagine Jose here next year if Nash is signed. $20 million on two point guards, and one of them off the bench? No way...Maybe Jose comes back the following year, if he can get over being amnestied.
I think the best case is John Stockton. That's 11 and 7 at age 40.
it would be harder to imagine BC giving Nash 10mill a season IMO.
assuming we get nash & it costs 5-7mill a season i could see Jose still being here coming off the bench.. would be great to have them both..
lets say we amnestied jose & signed nash.. wed still need a decent backup since bayless wants to be the starter
