  • We traded Lowry to start for us...I'd be extremely surprised if we keep Calderon..

      I can't see Colangelo parting with Davis so soon. If he can find a suitor for Amir, I could see him being traded before Ed.

      Agreed. People are still forgetting that Davis hasn't had a proper training camp yet. I haven't given up with Davis and neither has BC. I think we should trade Amir even though I absolutely love that guy.
      IT's not so much giving up on him, I would like to see Davis at a full NBA training camp, summer with coach, etc. etc. I just feel he is cheaper, younger and a more trade-able asset than Amir with his contract. It was discussed in a past thread, and I believe as basketball players on the court as of NOW, Amir brings more to the table. Really doesn't matter to me who leaves out of the two, just stated a thought on who would be most likely leaving IMO.

      • so the pick protection is really complicated BUT if we make the playoffs for the next 5 years we don't give up anything

          If source is accurate, Rockets trade of Kyle Lowry is pretty sweet. Short form: Rockets get a Toronto lottery pick in next 5 yrs ...

          Rockets won't get top-3 pick next year, top-2 pick next two years or No. 1 pick the next two. Otherwise lottery pick goes to Houston.

            Looks like Clippers might be winners of this year's Matt Barnes-to-Toronto award.

            wtf does that mean
            They don't have the cap to sign Billups or Crawford?

            • I would love to see Calderon resigned (20 million over 4 years) and moved to backup role. Bayless can't and won't accept it

                I wonder what happens after year 5, if the Raptors were to be a playoff team all 5 years? There's usually a contingency or non-guarantee section worked into these conditional picks, to ensure that the team receiving the conditional pick winds up with something. It could easily be that in year 5, Houston would get Toronto's pick regardless of whether or not it's a lottery pick.

                                Hmmm.. I don't like that trade to be honest.. Bryan is not done wheeling and dealing, but to give up a high lottery pick when our team sucks is not a good idea. Only top 3 protected next year? Couldn't he make it top 7? Lowry is a good player but not a star - and we need a star. Draft is best opportunity to get one.

                                With the team we currently have, I don't see us being any better than 6/7th worst right now - even if Bargnani was healthy. Oh well the bright side is we won't be on tank watch next year. We'll be on anti-tank watch. I guess that's funner and less insane right?
