Agreed.
U are risking a lot for his services.
As for the topic, Lakers probably would ask Demar for number #7,no thanks.Last edited by Dr Hannibal Lecter; Mon Jun 23, 2014, 01:02 AM."Never apologize for coming to me. Office hours are for patients.

Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

I do however, think Randle will end up being the 'steal' of the draft if he drops out of the top 5. Good player, NBA ready, and good head on his shoulders. May not become a star, but will have a very productive NBA career. I would trade Ross, Vasquez and 20th pick if we could get Randle.

We don't need to give up a core piece to land the Lakers #7 pick ... we just need to take Nash.
They would happily dump the #7 pick to free up another $10M to go hunting for a roster next season. That would leave TWO players: Kobe and our Canadian boy Sacre on the Lakers roster ... go try to buy 'Melo and sell him on having input to help with roster decisions.
A trade of Salmons, maybe Ty, maybe #20 ... take back Nash - but retain the ability to go over the cap to re-sign your own players like Kyle, 2Pat and G, if desired ... I don't picture Nash having much (if any) role, but better bringing him in for the sake of building a tradition than bringing in Wince.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.

It is not about the #7 pick per se.... although that would be amazing.
Cap space does not matter for the Raptors this year. Once you put in their cap holds they only have the MLE to use anyways. On draft night I want to see some MLSE spending. Take on Boozer, Nash, Asik/Lin, whatever to add assets.
After years of OTPP cheapy-cheapy and BC lack of patience band-aid solutions, it would be great to see some serious coin spent in the short term to watch a long term vision unfold.
