Everything Buyout 2020

[G__Deane]

Right now the Raptors have the core of their playoff rotation more or less set: Kyle, Norm, OG, Pascal, Gasol, Ibaka, and FVV, with Boucher, Rondae and McCaw getting minutes as needed to fill it out. The problem is that seven guys you can really count on is one guy too low, and that ideally Boucher, Rondae and McCaw are break-glass-in-case-of-emergency options: Boucher is still green, McCaw's improved but isn't quite ready for extended playoff minutes, and Rondae's a defensive specialist who's only going to get you garbage buckets. The Raps need one more wing who can defend a bit, score a bit and pass.

Am I crazy or is Vince Carter perfect?

You CRAZY. How are his 6 points off the bench going to move the needle?

That's the kind of goofy fake nostalgia move a loser team makes to distract fans when they are lousy for a decade or so....that's NOT US any more .....

You completely forgot Terence B. Davis Jr. So yes..... you are indeed crazy.

Chinese league is suspended due to coronavirus. Bring J-Lin home.

He'd infect the whole team, maybe with more than bad shooting

Not sure who's available. Maybe TT? But that's probably a stretch.

Charlotte has a bunch of vets on expiring deals. Maybe they buyout guys like Biyombo, Marvin Williams, or MKG. If so, then I'd love Williams on the team. Nice stretch 4 that can rebound.

Knicks just got Harkless but could buy him out.

Obviously the waiver claim stuff would have to work, but wouldn't it be great if we bought out McCaw to allow the Cavs to sign him (like they wanted to before) and the Cavs bought out TT and let the Raps bring him home.

IT could be bench shooting depth but tbh Matt Thomas is probably better for that at this point. A depth rebounder would also be good. Nothing is dramatically necessary, any signing is a "break glass in case of emergency" pick-up.

Looks like IT is not going to be playing for the Clips. I would be afraid of 3 guys on the floor under 6 foot.

Raps depth works against them in this market. Hard to sell a guy looking for a new deal on being a fourth big or situational wing player.

But they'd add a championship ring to the resume

Biyombo would be nice, I don't think he wanted to leave Toronto a few years back when he did. Raptors just didn't have the money for him. Williams would be a solid add too.

In the camp we can use another big as insurance on Serge and Marc.

Tristan Thompson might be bought out by the Cavs as they just traded for Drummond.
Nene has already been bought out or waived.

[007]

He won't be a buyout but Jamal Crawford could help keep McCaw off the floor.

Jamal Crawford would be so much worse than McCaw. The man is 50 years old
