I also think Amir could be a perfect sixth man.
But can one of them be a starter on a contender?
Amir's body can not even handle the starter minute in this league. He is a good 6th man and that is his ceiling.

Then it is the foul troubles, He still can not manage them. Look at his performance in the Play off, when we needed him the most, he was sitting on the bench fouled out and also was MIA in 3 games ...

Also, most championship teams don't have 5 starters that contribute offensively night in, night out. Amir is a solid starter, he's not an all star, but he's a solid starter."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

If a team is looking to dump $10m in salary, then, likely.
But you're not getting a first round pick from any team because they actually want those players.Last edited by mcHAPPY; Sat May 10, 2014, 08:05 PM.

I hope we keep Vasquez and 2Pat for reasonable contracts. Vasquez is pretty much Jose on both ends of the floor, but his size makes up for it a very little bit on D. He's the playmaker off the bench that we've lacked after we traded Jose. Plus, also due to his size as well as his playing style, he could play alongside Lowry if the team plays small.
2pat is a decent stretch 4, but I don't think he's a starting caliber 4. He looks undersized and he gets bullied inside by real power forwards like Boozer, Taj Gibson, David West, ZBo, etc.
Anyone know how long did Masai give this core to actually be contenders? Is the time-frame realistic? As he always mentioned, this team can't be stuck on no man's land. If we were going all-in next season or if it's 2K, I would go after Greg Monroe or Pau Gasol to add to the wish list of targets, along with of course Lowry, Greivis, and VC. Probably would let 2Pat go coz Pau and Monroe are 4's. Then add a backup, benchwarming legit 7 footer for depth (Aaron Grey or Hadadi LOL).
Starting 5:
Lowry
Demar
Ross
Monroe/Pau
Jonas
Bench:
Amir
Greivis
VC
Tyler
Draft pick
Landry
Novak
Bench warmers/Reserve/Cheerleaders:
Backup 7 footer
Chuck Hayes
Draft picks (2nd rounders???)/Buycks/Stone
*Side note: Is there any chance of the Raps acquiring their own D League Team, which could serve as their legit farm team? Preferably a team that is closer to Toronto (like Buffalo)??? Coz i think the current D league team affiliated with the Raps is in Cali or Vegas and is shared with other teams if i'm not mistaken.

If anyone remembers Sonny weems? He disappeared after the lockout and I think he could come in as an assurance 3rd winger. He's still only 27 and has a good relationship with demar and amir. We can probably get him on a minimum.

Detroit trades : Greg Monroe, 2014 1st (after they make it) , 2015 first and 2017 first. Plus they agree to rest all their starters every time they play us.A key that opens many locks is a master key, but a lock that gets open by many keys is just a shitty lock
