Raps would have to send a minimum of $5.5M out..... and Novak and Camby can't be traded with anyone else until September
10 at the earliest.
Any interest?
I was thinking more Asik for Novak & Camby. Would that make sense?

Going to keep saturating threads with my hope that the Raps will manage to pick up Chauncey Billups.
And before people start shooting it down or saying he's going anywhere else, there's been really no word from his camp about where he's going. He said he wants to play 2 more years. Detroit has shown interest, but there's nothing close to a rumour about him signing a deal with anybody. Also Detroit is leaking their actions like crazy. In all likelihood, the educated guess is that he wants to a) get a legit role, even as a back up, and b) play for a contender. When you consider a) in relation to b), there are few opportunities for both. So I think there might be some option to make a play for him, because they can definitely sell him on a), and if he can't play for a contender, they can sell him on Toronto being a playoff team, especially if he joins to help lead this young group.

Oh, and JV is not a PF. He should not ever have to play there for significant minutes. Any deal that brings in another big-minute C better bring in a guy who would have an easier time sliding over to PF than JV. Asik is not the answer to the Raptors big man rotation. Though I suppose if it didn't cost them a major asset (but how could that work?), it'd be fine to add him to the mix. But I would also expect he'd probably be traded again before his deal is up because it's not a good long-term fit.

I'm not sure JV could do that in the NBA though. You think he could?

Lets not please confuse JV? Development...do it right. He is one of the best assets to come our way...lets not screw with him, thanks. The next year will hopefully confirm that he needs to be built around (as a centre).
RE Asik (which provides a Camby moment)...the Rockets say he isnt going anywhere. McHale wants him around and is talking about coming up with a "spacing" plan to play DH & Asik together. Whatever...we dont know if it'll work even if Asik agrees. Yes, and diva DH will have to agree too!Last edited by Bendit; Sun Jul 7, 2013, 07:50 PM.
