As much as i want to see Nash in a Raptors uniform, i would love to see this kid ahead of Nash in FA signing this summer. Dragic played under Nash when he was a Sun, and he has played huge game for the Rockets as a starting lineups. I personally think he could bode well as a Raptors. I mean, Dragic is the Dragon, and he is one of the best uprising PG in this league. I think in 2-3 years, he could turn to a 18ppg, 10apg, player. We need to look at long term investment and Dragic is the answer and not Steve Nash.

As much as I am emotionally excited about the prospect of Nash coming here, my head says you have it right. In fact either Dragic or Lowry (in a trade) would be along the same lines and that is a long term solution for the PG position. However if Lillard were to be chosen then getting Nash would be getting the cake and slurping it up as well kinda thing for me.

I think Nash would bring too many positives to the franchise to turn down; player development, playoff experience, great character, obviously his still stellar talents, and ticket sales to boot. Dragic isn't going anywhere and Lowry is a great PG option, but if we were to draft Lillard (which I already made a case for because he's the smartest option) then Nash would be effective in helping us become winners right now and in the future. If we don't get a young PG to learn under Nash however, it may not be the smartest idea to nab him...because we'd only be putting off a major PG issue for a couple years.

I second with the person who said if Lilliard is onboard when the 8th pick comes around if we acquire Nash. Nash and Lilliard would be a terrific combo while shifting Bayless to his natural SG position.

An idea like that could work but it would come down to how much we want Marshall. He's a pass-first guy who loves to create for others. But he can't shoot particularly well, and while he posesses good length he also lacks the athletisicm needed to keep up the leagues new brand of PGs. He's very similar to Jose, but he's worse because of his shot. I'm not sure I'm comfortable handing him the starting spot in the future over somebody like Lillard who doesn't have a glaring weekness.

Dont really know if Dragic is gonna be the answer as our pg of the future, not that sold on him. What are our chances with Machado in the 2nd round? He would be good under the wing of Calderon, then we can ship bayless and maybe Ed or Amir something.
That said, does anyone know how one would go about getting a job at raptors tv (production wise). I'm hoping one of you fine gentlemen or ladies in here could provide me with the answer.
