    I honestly don't see that line up being better than our current line up.

    However if we do this trade:

    To raptors: bledsoe, afflalo, butler
    To clippers: bargnani and derozan
    To magic: lowry

    Then amnesty kleiza and sign mekel this our depth chart now:

    Bledsoe/mekel
    Afflalo/ross
    Gay/butler
    Amir/Acy
    JV/gray

    If we use our MLE to pick up a quality big to add depth to our 4 and 5 position we are in good shape. We improved our defense (afflalo>derozan) we improved our 3 pt shooting (afflalo>derozan) and since we took back butlers expiring deal and afflalo has 3 years on his deal and is cheaper than dd we improved financial flexibility too.
    So instead of Hawes and Turner, you want Afflalo and Butler?
    Go look up Hawes, he would be so valuable on our team. I think thats where you and I falter is how we value Hawes.
    The team you gave has only 2 servicable big men, Hawes adds 7'1'' of blocking, scoring, and even 3pt shooting. He is also only 24 yearsold.

    Afflalo > Turner for sure, but someone like Hawes is what we need to round out the roster. He would fit perfectly next to our other 7 footer.

      Evan Turner is a pretty good addition, and some would argue he fits better next to Gay.
      People were saying how
      The reason why DD/RG cant work is cause Dd can't shoot. Well Evan Tuener doesn't help.

          37% from 3?
          He also passes with 4.3 apg.
          OH! and he rebounds! 6.3rpg!

          He stretches the floor and is far from one-dimensional, which is usually the knock on Demar (and I defend Demar all the time)

          • People are saying that Demar and Bargs is too much without an extra asset out of the Clippers. And I agree. So how about this trade:

            http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=qeojz29

            Raptors -> Afflalo - Bledsoe - Jordan
            Clippers -> Demar - Bargnani
            Magic -> Lowry - Butler

            Clippers shed Butler, get Bargnani (stretch 4) and their wing needs
            Magic get their PG and fill the emergent whole at the wings

            and Raptors do it for this lineup:

            Bledsoe - Mekel
            Afflalo - Ross
            Gay - Fields - Acy
            Jordan - Amir
            Val - Amir

            Amir - Jordan - Val will have the highest 3-person FG% in the league.

              Ya I just checked out hawes on basketball and his per36 and advanced stats are pretty good actually. And he can stretch the floor, he would fit in nicely.

              • I dont know whats crazier the fact that Bargnai is wanted or that fans want him in LA lol!

                " like this trade. they also want Bargnani, hes a stretch 4 that can play pick and pop with CP. I say get it done somehow"

                "Awesome Bargnani is going to be great here"

                "Bargnani will provide the much needed shooting spark"

                "Bargnani? good move as long as we got CP3"

                  Ive been a Hawes activist for our 3rd established Big now for a while. I feel he would be the perfect compliment to Amir and Val! Maybe Im a bit biased but thats why I always try to connect Philly to any deal!

                      DeAndre Jordan couldn't play in crunch time. Bargnani can a stretch 4 that can solve spacing+free throw issues

                      Bledsoe for Bargnani is blessed. Bledsoe for Derozan hell no!!!
                      Lmfao Im loving all this.

                            Kevin garnett. Andrea bargnani. Same player really.
                            THE IGNORANCE IS SO THICK!!!! apparently the only person stopping this deal is Doc who likes Bledsoe?

                              Heard Doc is a huge fan of DeRozan as well. Looks like DeMar ain't in it anymore though. LOL.

                              • Can a trade just happen already?

                                Is moving both Demar and Lowry considered a rebuild or a retool??
