I wouldn't be upset if he eventually makes Ross expendable this summer.Barolt wrote: View PostI'll never understand the desire in the Raptors fanbase to trade players that are just starting to reach their potential. JV's starting to look like a future all-star? Every Raps fan putting him in trade scenarios.
Ross starting to look like a solid 3&D guy who could either start or be a fantastic 6th man? Let's trade him!
How about we keep some of these quality players?
Ross? Who needs him?

But he's also the key to being able to trade for a significant PF upgrade this summer. So Powell showing he can take a few minutes - and potentially spread the floor - is a very nice development.

I'd say his absolute best case ceiling is a Monta Ellis/Gilbert Arenas.

I have a hard time considering Ross expendable until we have more players who fulfill his skill set.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Ideally Ross isn't going to be on the team next year.
Not because I want Ross gone, but because I want us to make a major acquisition and that would almost certainly require him to be traded. What Norman's showing us is great in that case, because it looks like we have a guy who's going to develop into a very solid backup two-way shooting guard.
