Next up the center position.

I though Oden was taking the year off? Either way, that is an awful, awful idea. He'd just make all our white guys self-conscious without contributing on the floor.

I like my bball teams to have a solid 8-man rotation with 3 guards, 2 swingment, and 3 bigmen. That means you need versitile players, and we've got them.

The 3 big-men in our rotation would be JV and AB to start with AJ off the bench. Part of what make AB valuable is he plays both spots, which is a must for a 3-man rotation. With Davis filling in when injuries come and Gray/Acy as desperation-mode options.

Raps will have an awesome back court! With my boy Lowry and Ross!
If they can acquire a bit more without losing the little bench they have, They should Trade Calderon for Gay.

Memphis is tired of paying his money and calderon is an expiring contract and a decent backup PG for them. Just add Rudy to our roster and checkout the line-ups....pretty dangerous now NO?

Why trade Jose for Gay when we could get LeBron???

Jose+ ed+ james johnson and 2014 first round pick should get us Gay

I want Gray back.

Nevermind the fact I don't think the trade would have a chance but the Raps can't trade their 2014 pick now. You cannot trade 1st round picks in consecutive seasons.

I was wondering how the conditions would impact other trades involving 1st round picks, since we really have no idea what year Toronto will actually lose the pick. Does Toronto have to act as though they are going to lose the pick the following year, after each year they wind up keeping it? Or do they act as though they have a 1st round pick and trade freely, but then have to acquire another 1st round pick if they are going to miss the playoffs and have already traded that year's 1st round pick?

Yes.

It is a good way to ensure BC doesn't mortgage the future.

Amir as our backup C?

If Gray is not back, do you guys think that Amir Johnson could be our backup center, night in, night out? That means he would play the most part of his minutes at the 5 spot. If yes, I really like our team as it stands right now. Not that I don‘t want Aaron Gray back but the possibilities of him returning to the team are getting lower and lower each and every day...

Valanciunas/Johnson/Magloire
Bargnani/Davis/Acy
Fields/Johnson/Kleiza
DeRozan/Ross
Lowry/Calderon/Bayless

i think in this scenario whoever between davis and johnson works harder and shows the most improvement will be first big off the bench.

[draftedraptor]

We are loaded with guards and I like the idea of playing small next year with Amir or Davis.

If we are going for a center it has to be an experienced player with an expiring contract which will offer us flexibility next year.
Dalembert and Pachulia would be perfect if we can dump some salary on the trade. I would also throw decent offers at intriguing players with athleticism like Mcgee and Lopez who are still young and may amount to something.

Otherwise, I'm quite happy to roll with Gray and Magloire as our 2nd and 3rd option.

[charlz]

yogi stewart is looking to make a comeback - I say give him a shot.

[Papa Burgundy]

I think Amir and Ed are quality backup "bigs" ... they can play together, or either can play with Bargs or Big V.
Likely they'll bring back Magloire with all the youth on the roster, so we have the bench monster if we need a big body for fouls.
