Your 2012/13 Dream (Yet Also Logical and Doable) 10 Man Rotation
Collapse

This is hard to do, as we don't know the real trade value of any current Raptor.
My Dream Scenario
1) let Magloire, Alabi, Bayless and Weems walk (or possibly use Bayless and/or Weems in S&T to acquire additional draft picks to sweeten trades in #4 and #5)
2) re-sign Gray
3) get lucky in the lottery --> draft MKG
4) trade DeRozan & Toronto's 2nd round pick & a future 1st round pick for a lottery pick --> draft Beal
5) trade Davis & Indi's 2nd round pick for a mid-1st round pick --> draft Marshall
6) use cap space to sign OJ Mayo
10-Man Rotation
C: Valanciunas, Gray
PF: Bargnani, Amir
SF: MKG, JJ
SG: Mayo, Beal
PG: Calderon, Marshall
Bench
- Kleiza (3rd PF/SF)
- Forbes (3rd SG/PG)
* An alternative to this would be to include Calderon in the DeRozan trade (maybe to Portland for NJ's draft pick) to get Beal, with Nash then being signed to replace Calderon. Nash may provide more of a veteran presence than Calderon, which would be critical when integrating so many fantastic young players... plus the obvious Captain Canada draw from a marketing perspective.Last edited by CalgaryRapsFan; Wed Apr 4, 2012, 03:30 PM.

PG: Steve Nash - Jose Calderon
SG: Bradley Beal - Demar Derozan
SF: James Johnson - Linus Kleiza
PF: Andrea Bargnani - Amir Johnson
C: Jonas Valanciunas - Aaron Gray
How it happens:
-Free Agent money gets spent on Nash
-Beal is available when we're drafting
-Gray re-signs
- ... done ... simple dream, crazy team.
Still leaves us with an Ed Davis trade chip, S&T with Bayless and Sonny if desired, and our 2nd rounders.The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.

Jose/Marshall
Beal/DD/Bayless as a combo guard?
Batum/JJ
Barg/Amir
Jonas/Gray
I feel like Beal has a really high ceiling, and putting him alongside batum with Derozan off the bench as a 6th man would be ideal for my dream scenario. But this is only one of my many scenarios..

I dont think you can keep jose and get nash, no diversity not to mention they arent young anymore, the nagging injuries between the two of them is enough to ruin a teams playoff hopes...not to mention all of the salary tied up in one position...

Amir or/and Linas is used with a second round pick to trade for Kendall Marshall. We would be a little young, but Jose, Gray, and Andrea bring enough experience to keep it together. Bayless and DeMar have been around long enough to not be totally new to the NBA either.Welp, that sucked.

I love how no one picked Anthony Davis in their line up. If MKG is doable then why can't Davis be? It is hypothetical after all...
Raptors are currently tied with Sacramento for 6th/7th place in the standings.. getting Davis is slightly less probable as getting MKG if the season ended today (assuming MKG was ranked #2).
Here is my dream line up (with a small pinch of reality):
Val
Davis
Gay
DD
Nash
Gray
Amir
JJ
Barbosa
Machado
Kleiza
Forbes
Nicholson
1) Draft Davis, Nicholson and Machado with our picks
2) Trade Bargs, Calderon, Ed Davis and 2013 #1 pick for Gay
3) Acquire Nash and Barbosa through free agency (Barbosa to help lure Nash)
4) Renounce Bayless, Weems and Alabi
That's a team that would challenge for the division title.Last edited by planetmars; Wed Apr 4, 2012, 04:44 PM.

C Jonas Valanciunas / Amir Johnson
PF Andrea Bargnani
SF Andrei Kirilenko / James Johnson / Linas Kleiza
SG Demar Derozan / Bradley Beal
PG Jose Calderon / Kendal Marshal
BC work in the summer:
*Draft Bradley Beal (or MKG, Harrison Barnes)
*Trade Ed Davis and second round picks to lottery pick (draft Marshal)
*Sign Andrei Kirilenko
-We would have only Bargnani at PF, but AK47, Linas Kleiza and JJ all can play some PF, or Amir.
-Everything changes if we win lottery, then obviously we should draft Anthony Davis and maybe try to sign Eric Gordon, not KirilenkoLast edited by japetas; Wed Apr 4, 2012, 04:52 PM.(Sorry for poor English )

draft: Anthony Davis (fingers crossed)
trade: Andrea Bargnani + Derozan: For whoever drafts beal.
free agent signing: overpay gerald wallace, veteran centre so jonas can adjust (roy hibbert, chris kaman etc..)
amnesty:Kleiza.
Roster:
C: Hibbert/Valanciunas
PF:Anthony Davis/Amir Johnson
SF:Gerald Wallace/James Johnson
SG:Beal/Forbes
PG:Calderon/Bayless
we are winning 45 games with this roster imo. Involves a lot of luck, and I'm not sure if andrea's value drops/increases before the season is over.

Michael Kidd Gilchrist (get lucky in the draft, or trade up)
Wilson Chandler (recent article suggested they signed him as a trade chip 7.5 is a LOT to pay for a bench player)
Andrea Bargnani
Jonas Valanciunas
Jerryd Bayless (qualifying offer)
Amir Johnson
Aaron Gray
Linas Kleiza
Reggie Evans (FA)
Prediction Based On Talent 42wins 40 losses
good for 7th or 8th in the east.
With regards to Chandler, I've wondered why Denver would pay so much for a backup player. It made me wonder if the salary was actually negotiated with the Raptors when he was in Toronto, to eventually be dealt to the Raptors as a delayed S&T deal. It is also interesting to note that Chandler's salary would fit nicely into Toronto's pre-July 1st TPE which was generated by the Barbosa trade (Chandler can be traded anytime after May 18).

If anyone can find that link, I'd appreciate it. I've looked but can't find it. There is always the possibility I am wrong but I don't usually hallucinate such things.
