Even if Forbes falls through, we already have 6 bigs:
Bargnani
Ed
Amir
Solo
Magloire
Gray ... no room for another vet PF, I don't think. Better to chase another Reggie ... Williams. Or Corey Brewer from the Mavs.The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.

I was a proponent of bringing Reggie back to play center (as a stop gap solution in a season when wins wasn't important) but as others have said, here, I simply don't see where he'd fit in. I'm already worried about finding enough playing time for all the PF's, let alone the bigs. On paper, you've got 96 minutes per game between the two positions. If Bargnani goes down to playing 25 minutes (which would be the lowest since his second season), and Davis and Amir play that amount, as well, then you're only got 21 mpg left for Alabi, Gray and Magloire. Now, I can actually see the 3 centers only getting around 20 mpg between them, but having Bargnani, Davis and Amir only playing 25 mpg will be a problem. Amir, I can see only playing 25 mpg, but Bargnani's stats will take a huge hit, which could hurt his trade value and Davis won't be happy if his role isn't expanded. And that's without Reggie.
Apollo has already stated that having too many bigs is a good problem to have, but not if it causes problems.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!

Bargnani is certainly worth a lottery pick. I remember in 2007, before Bargnani had proven he wasn't going to be a bust, the Bucks were willing to deal their 6th overall pick for him. A lot can change but I think the Wiz could be a good option. Not a lot of talent to be found at FC in Washington outside of Blatche and McGee. Both probably best suited for center. Blatche is a bit of a meat head and Bargnani might be a far better fit next to McGee and would no doubt thrive off shots created by John Wall. They already have a guy on roster with a similar game who is current starting at the 3 in Rashard Lewis but Lewis is in his second last season on his current contract and might be a prime target to get traded in the off-season as that $23M final year would be huge to any team who decides to do a proper rebuild in the summer of 2013. They have the cap space to trade a 1st rounder for Bargnani straight up and it's probably a lock to be a top ten. To sweeten the pot the Raptors could add in a guy like Bayless, who would be an excellent backup to John Wall. Heck, they could play together.

Yes, in a heartbeat. Could he be then "Amnesty claused"? I know its only applicable to those signed prior to the CBA expiring but are players who meet this condition but are traded disqualified? Even if he can't be dropped via the Amnesty clause he would be a good vet to have and re-sign. The Raptors would get his bird rights. If they didn't re-sign him they could be players in 2013 free agency(in this scenario $21M left on the books including Val, two 2012 1st rounders & excluding new deals to DeRozan, Bayless, JJ, Calderon and Barbosa).

The Raptors end up losing a lot of cap room this summer, but could end up with a top 5 pick. I don't know whether Washington would trade their pick, unprotected, especially since they could just amnesty Lewis if they wanted to.

And talking of footage, have you guys seen the clip of Jan Vesely looking at his feet while running the fastbreak and being totally oblivious to the pass John Wall threw at him? It would have been funnier if they did not show other sequences where he looked extremely raw. Some locals are already worried (way, way too early imo) he may be a bust.
