What can we do for the 3 right now? We don't really have another 3 on the roster with both JJ and DC going down. Do we trade for one or can we figure out how to use our own guys to hold down the fort? I think it will be easy to see after these next couple of games what we need to do.

JJ won't be out long, and we have wing depth even if they are smaller wings. We'll be fine.

Raptors have 15 guys on the roster.. if they had 14 they could get some d-leaguer or a vet not playing right now. But unfortunately Masai's hands are tied. Trades are too difficult and probably unnecessary for such a small time frame.
In the meantime they platoon the position with Ross/DD/Powell and even some Bruno (although I doubt Casey would use him).
This is actually why I was worried about trading JJ at the deadline for a PF. Lose important depth at a position of need.

yea I wouldn't panic with SF trades...how bout giving Bennett some minutes & opportunity (his per 36 in a very smalll sample size so far is 12pts/11rbs)....Ross is more valuable with the 2nd unit, Powell is a natural SG and as we saw yesterday...he's not quite ready for spot starter duties yet...if JJ is out till after ASG (3 more games) I hope Casey gives Bennett some chances so at least we can see who the AB without "lottery bust" label pressure, extra weight, health issues etc really isLast edited by RepTdot; Wed Feb 3, 2016, 11:06 AM.
