It's just that he is not a SF and that this deal would give us more space this summer while bringing something useful back.

And if I had simply misread the year... where did all of "this year's" numbers come from? They don't show anywhere now. I couldn't have imagined all of them, and I didn't misread the column, otherwise the numbers that I transcribed would show up in one of the other columns.
And we didn't play yesterday, and Jakob didn't even play Monday, so why would Jakob's number change over the last 24 hours?
I wonder if I caught them in the middle of some kind of update.
Anyways, I apologize for the misleading info. Thanks to 3inthekeon for the catch.
Fixed comparison of DRPM, last year vs this year
Kyle +1.70 vs +0.40 (regression)
CoJo -0.09 vs -1.93 (regression)
Norm +0.09 vs -0.02
DeMar -2.47 vs -1.53 (improvement)
Carroll +0.96 vs +0.49 (slight regression)
TRoss -1.41 vs -0.08 (improvement)
JJ +0.72
Patman -0.16 vs +0.87 (improvement)
Scola -0.01
Bismack +3.02
Jonas +0.64 vs +0.12 (slight regression)
Lucas +0.18 vs +1.36 (improvement)
Jakob not here last year vs +0.72
Pascal not here last year vs +0.72
Anyways I think the regression of Kyle/Cory and to a lesser extent DeMarre/Jonas is somewhat cancelled out by the improvement of the other playerslike DeMar/TRoss/Patterson and having Pascal replace Scola.
The biggest difference still looks like 1800 minutes of Bismack at +3.02.
Anyways, maybe it's time for me to step away from the numbers, I'm clearly on crazy pills.

I think the Raptors can make minor adjustments that can help in a bunch of ways:
1) Start PPat
2) If JV is a plus offensive player then leverage him more on that end. It may even energize him on D a little more, although I do contend he isn't much of the problem
3) If Demar is spending so much energy on offense that he can't try on defense, then see point #2. Use JV on offense a little more, save some energy for defense and try a little harder.

You re-sign them if they want to at a cheap price, but first, you sign Ibaka.
JV/Nogueira/Poeltl
Ibaka/Siakam/Rookie
Carroll/Thabo/Caboclo
DeRozan/Powell/Korver
Lowry/Joseph/Wright
