    I don't think it would be a bad trade, but another mediocre PG? Are the Raptors turning into the T-Wolves? Is another mediocre PG really going to do anything?

      He's hardly mediocre. Just wait and see what he can do when he's not confined to the triangle offense.

        Calderon for Flynn and their first.

        Draft Kanter and Leonard. Suddenly the lineup looks like this:

        Flynn/Bayless
        Derozen/Barbosa
        Leonard/JJ/Klezia
        Ed/Amir
        Kanter/Alabi

        Trade Bargs for some future picks or whatever.

          You've got a point there. For some reason I thought Rambis started this year. It is hard for PGs to flourish in the triangle.

            You think the T-Wolves would give up BOTH Flynn and their pick for Calderon? Since when did Calderin become so valuable?

              I think you're right. A more likely trade might be Flynn+Pekovic or Flynn+Tolliver for Jose. I think the Wolves are under the cap, so matching salaries wouldn't be necessary, but I doubt Minnesota would want to take on extra cash.

                  I don't think it would work to just do it straight up...but a package deal, potentially bringing in a third team even, could satisfy the teams needs. The article states the the T-Wolves would most likely try to move both Flynn and the pick if Rubio were to sign (I have also read elsewhere that Minnesota intends to make signing Rubio to a contract the top priority before the end of May.

                  We can also see that the Wolves are in need of big-man help and a veteran PG to mentor Rubio. Calderon would meet the second requirement better then anyone else. Anyone of more talent, and Minnesota would be able to acquire them to simply be a mentor, other then perhaps a player like Andre Miller (who I don't think Portland would move, and he would not be happy in that role). But Calderon can also help off of the court as well. Who could help a young Spanish PG adjust to live in the NBA better then a veteran Spanish PG. But, we have beat this idea into the ground over the last several months so I don't really need to elaborate very much.

                  As for the big-man help...that would need to be a third team unless Minnesota saw Bargnani that way.

                  Matt52 has some excellent (and plausible, I might add) trade suggestions here: http://raptorsrepublic.com/forums/sh...y-Trades/page2

                  Although Flynn is young and has a lot of potential, based on his play so far on the court he does not carry huge trade value. They tried to trade him at the deadline (from what I read) and did not find much being offered.

                    at hoopsworld they said they want a experienced pg back for their top pick, i don't know about you but calderon is perfect especially since he's spanish.

                      A straight Jose for 1st and Flynn would be incredible - but unlikely is an understatement.

                      With that said, MIN's needs are not youth. If Barbosa opted in, other teams were involved, or Toronto made a couple of separeate trades, I think TOR could get some assets together that would interest MIN and allow TOR to get Flynn and the pick.

                      BTW, if Flynn came, he or Bayless would have to go in my opinion. I think both could fetch a future lottery protected first round pick on their own.

                        I don't think either would have to go. I think having both of them coming into training camp guns blazing and really battling it out for the that starting spot would be great. We would get better at defense at the point guard position. Would have two guys going out every night with something to prove.

                            I should have clarified, I am working under the assumption that TOR also has draft rights to Walker or Irving. I've gone in to overdrive on trade scenarios.... that will most likely never happen, lol.

                              having kanter and alabi as our centres.

                              i'd much rather keep bargnani and gain some progressd in this rebuild.
