The Raptors and the 2015 Draft

[Axel]

I love draft day. The moves, the rumours, the promise...

[Chr1s1anL]

In the latest Draftexpress mock from earlier today RHJ is projected to go #16 to Boston and we get Sam Dekker at #20.

Can you imagine a starting line up of Smart/Bradley/RHJ. Teams would have a problem just crossing half court

[Primer]

That would be very interesting. Winslow, Hezo, Mudiay would be my targets at 7.

And one of those guys will surely be there at #7 if you throw Porzingis into the mix. According to DX Mudiay will go #7, and I'd be quite happy with Mudiay and Gallo for DD and #20.

Yeah i'd do that deal in a heartbeat. I don't trust this Mike Ortiz guy though. Never heard of him before.

Woj reporting Kings looking to move back in the top 10 with Hezonja the target.

planetmars deal with the Pistons tweak I added is gold... gold I tell you!



Detroit: Gay
Lakers: Cousins
Raptors: #2, #6, Jennings, Landry, Stauskas
Kings: #8, JV, Lowry, Randle


Kings:

PG: Lowry, Collison, McCallum
SG: McLemore,
SF: Hezonja, Casspi
PF: Randle, Thompson, Moreland
C: JV


That team is still Lowry's. He is still the man. Lots of growth there. It wouldn't be able to be done until July. Throw Lou as S&T in to SAC as well if everyone aggrees.

They also have lots of cap space to spend.


#Pleeeeeeease

It's interesting that they want to move down from 6 for Hezonja. I personally like Hezonja a lot for both the Nuggets and the Pistons who draft at 7 and 8. The Kings must feel strongly that these two teams don't love Hezonja.

Not bad. This makes sense. Both guys make around same money and one can play and the other one can not but then we get a higher pick.

If this goes through, it signals the rebuild which means JV and KL are out of the door as well.

Works for CBS and ESPN!

He ain't working out of his Mom's basement!

Well, all he is saying is discussions, so it's basically a more valid version of the trade proposals people are tossing around here in the forums. If he said finalizing the deal or something along those lines then I'd be with you on questioning the validity of this reporter.

This would be approaching Bargs-to-the-Knicks territory

[ceez]

Indicative of Houston's plans to get off money, word is both Terrence Jones and Rockets' No. 18 pick in first round are both very available

— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 25, 2015

Terrence Jones and #18 in a salary dump? MAKE IT HAPPEN MASAI!

I love draft day. The moves, the rumours, the promise...

but then the disappointment after

If this goes through, it signals the rebuild which means JV and KL are out of the door as well.

If he's healthy Gallo is better than DD, with health being a relatively large question mark. The guy is only 26 though so it'd be a shame if he was done physically already.

never heard of DYST_Now. but as it's draft day, let the speculation flow!

I would do this deal so fast it'd make your head spin and laugh all the way to the draft.

[Axel]

but then the disappointment after

I'm a Raptors fan, I've been molded by disappointment.
