Raptors 2016 Trade Deadline - Dec 15th 2015 - Feb 18th 2016 @ 3pm EST

[Axel]

not alot of money to sign him with.

we have about 22 million to spend, take away demars caphold and picks and you are down to 3 or so million.

Why would I take away Demar's cap hold?

Martin would make a good stop-gap solution.

[3inthekeon]

I have a feeling the Raps will have another very quiet trade deadline. As it stands, team is playing too well to downgrade the core at the deadline, but are not close enough to being a true contender to give up future assets for any temporary upgrade.

[Cody73]

There's one guy I have in mind, but I don't know if any rumours are going round about him.


If one shows up, I'll post it.

Martin would make a good stop-gap solution.

he would, in the event that Demar is traded. but I also feel that having him waiting in the wings could help lure big free agents.

Marting is a vet, is a good shooter, played with Durant in the past.....

[Mess]

I don't think we need any help in the backcourt. That's our area of greatest strength and depth.

Is it a strength partially because our all stars play 36 minutes per game? Is that really depth when you can't sub them off or it all falls apart?

I wouldn't pay too much for a KMart rental and I doubt Masai would either. I think he would help though.

LeBron James?

LeBron James?

Euros Slow Car?

Whatever happened to that guy? funny as shit, but always insightful.

Vroom vroom...I was thinking about him the other day.

[Cody73]

No.


I want another guy whose broken out. You know me. I like those guys who aren't in the media, and funny how a few guys have mentioned him now.


I want "The Poor Man's Blake Griffin." I want Jon Leuer.

[Chr1s1anL]

They play nothing a like

Poor man's Blake Griffin?

Jon Leuer is more of a Christian Laettner type of player. A poor man's Christian Laettner.

i would say Leuer is closer to a keith van horn type.

Inside and outside game, can handle the ball. deceptively athletic.

[Jon32]

Some smaller trades could be around getting Teletovic.

Personally I want Gibson and have him start with Scola to the bench

Lowry/Joseph
DeRozan/Ross/Powell ( one might be traded for gib)
Carroll/Johnson
Gibson/Scola
Valanciunas/Biyombo

Or

Lowry/Joseph
DeRozan/Ross
Carroll/Johnson
Scola/Teletovic
Valanciunas/Biyombo

Griffin doesn't get the credit he deserves as a passer or an outside shooter. Griffin is essentially a elite SF in a PF's body with a wonky 3.


Leuer is a better shooter and slightly worse passer and isn't known for being athletic. But I can see Leuer thriving in a role like Blake's with a lil Ryan Anderson thrown in. (In fact, Phoenix needs to trade him or Teletovic. Neither is a true C and Morris won't get them as much value wise as most think).

He'd be a elite fit here.

I'd look for a team with an aging core in win-now mode, that has a strong likelihood of sucking in 2-5 years and try to squeeze a couple of un-protected 1st round picks (or worst case, swap rights) for Derozan, plus another asset. Now would be the time to sell-high on Derozan.

Memphis Grizzlies come to mind. Maybe the Clippers & Bulls. Thunder, Kings, Knicks might also be candidates. Basically, similar to what the Celtics did to the Nets with Garnett and Pierce that is paying off this year.
