    Same. But if I was Boston and wanted to tank, the smart move would be to trade him for a 2014 pick

      No Chance, MU went on and on during press conference and interviews about bringing in ONLY high character guys, rondo has too much of a bad rep for him to be his first move.

        Well, Rondo wanted Rudy in Celtics uniform this past winter.
        I believe they are tight.

        Did not believe the trade.

          I don't think any trade the Raptors consider will net a 2014 lottery pick, if Chad Ford is to be believed... sorry I don't have access right now to post as a fancy Tweet capture ;-)

          What I know this morning: 3. Hardest asset to get rt now is a '14 lottery pick. Odds at 95% that NO team gives up one. 14 Draft too strong

            Personally, I know it may seem a bit far fetched, but I think we should just bring in Canadian kids. Try to trade for Thompson and Joseph, use whatever assets we have to try to get Bennett, Kabongo and Olynyk. Those kids might play hard for the name on the front as opposed to the one on the back. And it's something the fans can get behind.

              OKC needs a back pg. Wouldn't it be ironic for them to flip the Raptors the 12th pick for Lowry? Who's going to be Raptors pg, then? Calderon is a free agent, just saying.

                The way Ujiri and Tim said that it will be obvious to fans which course will be taken (after draft night), makes me think tank nation will be in effect. But who knows, maybe they'll pull something crazy off (like Rondo)

                  Can we get just one thread with all draft day raptors-related stuff?

                    It would be hard for me to see Lowry go, I think he has a lot more potential to show our team. The only way letting him go would make sense is if we get an UPGRADE at PG (not a rook) and packaging him with Bargs.

                    I dont believe Lowry + Bargs will net us Rondo, but if it does I would be happy with that trade. My biggest concern though is injury issues (though lowry has a few of his own), less 3pt shooting, and an older player. What would make me happy is the extra defense at the helm, the ability to run a great offense, higher FG percent, and experience on a championship team with HOFs.

                    One thing I would not do is add Demar to this trade. Lowry and another part of our core like Gay, Amir, or Demar, would not be enough to make me happy with Rondo.

                        Regardless of prediction and prognostication, BC left this franchise a mess. I am excited for the shake-up though (as long as JV isn't touched).

                          I would be ecstatic if Bennett and kabongo are acquired together. One CDn rookie might create a lot of pressure. Two would help shoulder the burden.

                            I am not a big fan of this roster, so I would not be sad to see major changes. In no particular order, I would say the following needs to be addressed (no matter what the overall strategy is):

                            1. Bargnani needs to go. Whether it's tonight or not, it needs to happen sooner rather than later.

                            2. Sorting out the wings. They have way too many bodies on the wings (DD, Gay, Ross, Fields, Kleiza, Anderson) - most of whom are mediocreat best - making way too much money.

                            3. PG. Needs to be addressed in some way, shape or form, which depends on what the overall strategy is going forward.

                              I'm hoping that Ujiri can move as many pieces from the Bargnani/DD/Gay/Lowry group as possible in return for 2013 lottery picks, 2014 draft picks (reported that 2014 lottery picks are basically untouchable), expiring contracts, and young prospects. All these moves would obviously be done with an eye on hopefully getting into the top five of the 2014 draft, while cleaning up the books and stockpiling assets at the same time.

                              I could also see Amir being moved as his value is basically at it's peak, however I think there's value in keeping a high-character player who will help a young group keep the losing in perspective as they pile up the L's next season. I'd lump Fields in the same category.
