BC says "not done trading" yet during Atl game

[Veszi]

Next trade to make the Raptors relevant:

Raptors trade:
- Bargnani
- Anderson
- Fields

Lakers trade
- Gasol
- Sacre

This trade creates a playoff team able to challenge anyone.

That would be perfect (not sure you really need sacre .. but either way). Just getting rid of LF and AB would be a huge win (although I dont think the Lakers would touch the Fields contract, as they are clearing space for 2015 when Lebron is available .. the $10 mm for a bum would be a killer, in addition to AB .. one of the two, maybe, but unfortunately probably not both) ...

As I'm sure many of you heard during BC's briefing during the 3rd quarter of the Atlanta game, when asked if the Raptors were done trading yet, he simply and decisively said: "No."

So, what else happens now? Bargs for a pick and and a backup point guard? Toronto has a lot of wing players so maybe it's Fields or Ross heading out?

I didn't want the Rudy Gay trade, but, if there's something else brewing, I'm willing to hold off of passing judgement for now.

[CT2010]

Why are people expecting more moves now? Don't get me wrong I definetely want to see more. (specifically Bargnani and Demar)

But this is much more likely the last move not the start of a series. Thats the scariest part of all.

Edit: moves of significance.

Colangelo said during the game it was the first move and there was more to come.

[ceez]

I think Bargs and Kleiza are gone, by trade or amnesty and I have a weird feeling one of DD/Fields is gone too. Nothing to base it on, just a weird feeling.

If he's got some forthcoming move(s) up his sleeves i.e #tradeBargnani to compliment this latest blunder than I too will wait to pass judgement.

I hope you're right. But I really prefer DD to go away to be quite frank. Fields can defend and more importantly, can rebound.

[Chr1s1anL]

BC pretty much just said Andrea is gone lol

[enlightenment]

I dont want DD traded. Demar can be really really good if given the chance, he is ONLY 23! I would hate to give up on him yet..

Rudy and Ross should be a sick combo though, which I am very excited in 2 years time to witness!

Hahaha wow. It seems like the NBA is getting more and more explicit by the day. Some real juicy stuff being talked about.

I kid you not, Jack said "Raptors haven't won with Bargnani, it's time to move him." Now this is obvious, and has been obvious for a while now. But to actually have someone who is employed by the Raptors say it, is amazing to me.

[thead]

he just openly said in the post up he was going to trade Bargnani

[enlightenment]

Raptors Republic Rewarded with Rudy and Ross!

never have the raps had so much potential on the wings. And just thinking about Val's potential...

[white men can't jump]

Where can we find a backup PG? And is Bargs gone yet? These are the things I can't stop pondering...going to look for PGs now..

Val's potential is still the most likely cause for optimism on the team.

[enlightenment]

I was hoping to get Tony Wrotten Jr from Memphis in the deal ):

You have to admit that Ross' potential is pretty high up there now aswell!

[Sig]

This has been one crazy day. Very weird.

I hear Detroit has a few pg's. Perhaps Kleiza for Stuckey or something to that affect?

[Craiger]

I'll be the first to admit I'm not convinced Colangelo has much left up his sleeve.

That said...don't take anything he says with anything other than a grain of salt. We could give the everything Bargnani thread a run for its money if everyone listed what he said that was either blatantly false or never came to pass.

[Lark Benson]

I posted it on the trade forums, but some variation on DeRozan for Afflalo.

Orlando gets a younger wing with more potential, Toronto gets a less spectacular but far more reliable player who would fit a lot better alongside Gay. You'd have to work in some filler to make the salaries work due to the poison pill, but seems like a good deal for both sides if the Raps want to focus on winning now.
