Nate if he gets the reigns to do w/e the hell he wants. EDIT: Also only on his homecourt.

I think the difference between me and a lot of people against the deal, is my faith in BC, and the Raptors staff, to draft and develop a player in the mid-first round, have we ever done it before? I doubt we do it now, I would rather just get two established NBA players who are both no older than 22 and probably still have a ways to go before they are complete players. I like Jarret Jack, but he is a fringe starter in the NBA, Thad Young has always been a guy I really liked, Lou is like 4 years younger than Jack and we aren't going anywhere right now in terms of competing, so we might as well get younger. I just want Thad, if it costs us Jack then so be it, Jack would be great to keep if we are keeping Bosh and trying to win next year, but since we probably aren't, we might as well re-tool and get considerably younger, Thad is like as young as any rookie we would pick anyways. I am neutral on Lou, he isn't really a PG but he really isn't that much worse than Jack is he? He looks like a gunner but playing in an actual offense (that Sixers team was a mess last year) surely he would be a bit better. I imagine he would take Jose's starting spot within 20 games, he was beasting last year before AI came in IIRC. I like this deal a lot, especially if we are getting Bynum.... but what is a more valuable asset? A 27 year old solid PG in Jack, or a 22 year old PG in Lou who has shown some solid promise offensively, and a 21 year old Thad who in his sophomore season looked poised to become a 20 point player one day?

Doug Smith has stated a few times that teams will take him, we just won't be getting an expiring back for him.

That Rihanna song is going to get major play on the radio methinks.

Glen Davis>KG, too bad he isn't a couple inches taller, that kid plays his nuts off.

I think Jose starts at PG for us. Bynum-Bargs-Thad-Demar-Jose(Lou) is a starting 5 I would be happy with, even though we would probably only win 30 games at most, that is a lot of solid young talent on one team. EDIT: Ya I agree, it makes most sense if we are getting Bynum.

I make this trade instantly, trade Hedo for whatever you can get, get Bynum for Bosh and we are looking at a nice young team. if we keep Hedo, Lou is the perfect PG to play alongside him. Bynum-Bargs-Thad-Demar-Jose/Lou FTW!

Talking to Myself is awesome.

I agree with you, also he is their best spot up shooter on the bench.

I have always believed Bosh for whoever Nets pick at 3 is a possibility if LBJ signs there, or agrees to. Other than that I don't see how we can move up in the lotto. Maybe Evans+Banks+Demar for Brand and the pick makes sense, otherwise I don't see it, even then I think that is a huge longshot, I don't see them trading the pick just to dump a contract. I would offer our entire roster for the pick and take on any contracts tho lol.

All Celtics have to do is win 2/3 on their home court and they have a great shot at this, no chance they win all 3, I expect things will be ugly when the Celtics shoot 15 more free throws than the Lakers on their home court.

It is a lateral move that would likely cost us our pick this year, if we can do it without giving up much else then okay, otherwise it is pretty pointless.

Lol 80% of the time that is a foul, if Kobe doesn't already have 5 fouls, at that point in the game, that is a foul.

You should be glad Kobe even got to play in the last portion of the game.

Lol at even mentioning the refs, please dude.

Hahahahaha I knew this page would be over 11 pages.

It really depends, because like I said, if they managed to get them both in a sign and trade it would mean they retain their expiring players rights as well as the rights to their salary cap exception signings. I don't know exactly how it would work if say they signed LBJ outright then did a sign and trade for CB4. But ya, Smush Parker might have a home again if this deal goes down.

You only trade Beasley for cap room if it means Wade is bringing Bosh and LeBron to town, otherwise I think you keep him.

Lol I don't think Bosh and Jose are particularly close.

Not a fan of Mo but he is definitely better than Jose, and would be a perfect PG alongside Hedo. This is pointless though if we don't have Bosh or Bynum next year tho.

Considering our 2nd best big under contract is Reggie Evans, we need to draft a big man.
