Take on Okafor or Ariza's contract and get the 10th picK

I would seriously entertain either Okafor or Ariza for that 10th pick. But unless Colangelo has a subsequent trade up his sleeve, I doubt it happens simply because of the overwhelmingly strong feeling that he doesn't want to get younger next year.

This would be counter to all rumors about Colangelo. Colangelo is looking to trade his pick and use the cap space to land a star. I don't see him instead going 180 and using the cap space to add another lotto pick... Not that I would necessarily be against doing it. Colangelo needs results this year though. He's not as likely to get results with two or three rookies in prominent roles.

The TPE could absorb Ariza's contract and #10 comes along with it.
The Raptors might be able to get the guy they want at #8 at #10 (Lamb, Lillard, Waiters) AND get Gay. Talk about win-win.

Why I like this idea is because the guy who the raptors are looking draft may very well still be there at 10. Waiters or Lamb aren't locks for the top 9, so they could do this and still get the guy they want....Now that I look up, I see Matt already wrote that...
Anyway, I like the Gay pickup in its own right, so if we have to "concede" taking the 10th pick for cap space it seems like a no brainer to me

A 10th pick is not enough to counterbalance a very unfavorable contract. I am also against the idea of having three rookies playing significant minutes.
We would theoretically lose our #8 but gain a #10 thus staying in the lottery.
We would then only have the two rookies.

I would be willing to use the TPE to take on Ariza & #10.
I like it much more if it happens after a trade for Gay.
I would like it much much more if the Raptors could do something similar with Amir & #25 pick.
The Raps would only be adding 1 rookie from the draft, depending on whether or not they use the #37/#56 picks.

A move like this doesn't really make sense for a team trying to win right away. Let's assume they can land Gay and Nash. Adding another rookie makes little sense. More sensible to go out and land a sharpshooter at the SG or a quality 3rd big.
