Hi All! I think Masai was trying to acquire that All-Star PF this summer but just had too much restrictions to do so. However, looking at their roster situation I can't help but think Masai is setting up for big things next summer! With Patterson and Sully's contracts up that should clear up about 12 mil. If he trades Ross for picks that's another 11 mil, throw in some smaller salaries and it seems like the Raptors can throw max money at someone. I still think the plan will be to resign Lowry, but with the rising cap and the fact he will be 31, I wonder if he takes something like 18-20 mil per? If so, that would basically just suck up the difference we will gain with the cap going up(I think I read it will go up to around 104 mil next year?). If these facts are correct(and if not please correct me). Could our team look like this going forward:
PG: Lowry, Cojo, Delon
SG: DD, Powell, (Cojo or Delon)
SF: Carroll, Bruno, (Powell)
PF: (Griffin, Ibaka, Millsap, or Galinari), Siakam, (Bruno, Carroll)
C: JV, Poetl, (Siakam)
That's relying on alot of young guys on the bench but if they show development maybe it's not so crazy. Also if Masai can pull something like this off I'm sure we can add some good players for cheap. It's also pretty crazy that there seems to be 4 impact PF all likely to be available right when we need one.
Thoughts? Is there something I am missing or could this possibly be the plan?
