PLEASE DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A RIDICULOUS TRADE THREAD. Everyone listed here is obtainable without a great deal of fuss
This post makes the following two assumptions. The Raptors Core going forward is Lowry/Ross/Gay/Valanciunas
Everyone else seems to be expendable.
The second assumption is we are not going after another near max player (although that can be argued as well)
Derrick Williams SF/PF Minnesota
The man is a gifted athlete and an effective 3pt shooter (35% this season) He would benefit greatly from a change in scenery and a new role.
Wilson Chandler SG/SF Denver
A two way player that can guard three positions. He is coming off surgery which is a completely valid excuse to avoid him. I say buy low on him as you don't ever hear the words "career ending hip injury" in the NBA.
Paul Millsap PF Utah
We would need to spend to keep him. By my estimate 10 - 12 million per year. But he is a great two way player tough defender good mid range shooter, a good rebounder not to mention gritty. A true Casey 4.
Steve Blake PG Lakers
I for one am tired of PG controversies. But I do want one that could start in a pinch. Steve Blake is no threat to Kyle Lowry. He is a capable play maker and decent 3pt shooter. Duhon is a better fit in the backup role for LA.
