If there were a leader, the players' discontent with coach Nate McMillan never would have spread to the point where the team flat out quit on him. The whining whispers of Raymond Felton, in particular to Gerald Wallace, would have been stopped. The sulking of Jamal Crawford would have been stifled. And the indifference of Marcus Camby would have been challenged.

Ersan Ilyasova?
What about Ersan?
When looking at Casey's checklist of desires in players, he is a close fit.
He will be 25 next year.
He is a great shooter.
He is experienced and proven.
Statistically he is not a great defender but if Calderon can look like a decent defender in Casey's system, Ilyasova should look godly.
Given Bargnani's known deficiencies statistically, he could have a field day clearing the glass as long as Bargnani continues to box out.
If it came down to giving AK47 $8M or Ilyasova $8M, I'd go with Ilyasova.

Besides the obvious stars, Raptors should be gunning for one of the big young RFA wings: Eric Gordon, OJ Mayo or Nic Batum.
One player I think would be a huge difference maker for the Raps is Gerald Wallace -- Looks like he is going to opt out. He would be a monster in Casey's system, but at what price?
others i would personally like to see on short contracts : Steve Nash, Ray Felton, Bayless and
Even Landry Fields could become a much improved player under Casey, he is a good glue guy seems to do everything pretty well.
The fanboy in me wants OJ Mayo. Can start or come off the bench, sharpshooter, playoff experience, loves Johnny Davis from Memphis, has a game-breaking offensive game.
Batum is nearly a lock to be retained and I wouldn't want the Raps to over-overpay to get him (plus Portland has even more cap space than the Raps). Eric Gordon has an injury bug, too much risk for the price he will come at (although a very high reward if he shakes his injury woes, although I don't think BC would go for it, messing with his plan and with one year left on his deal).
Exciting times, boys. kinda sad that it gets more exciting when the season ends...

On defense, I don't have enough conviction in stating if he could reasonably guard SF's in the NBA.
