c'mon dude. This is WAAAAY too much for a single thread. Especially without contributing your own position. IMO.

[Maleko]

Well it is a lot but I'll take a stab or two:

Gilbert Arenas - I thought so a month or so ago, but dead set on no now. Uncertain health and motivation, and a potential cancer to the younger players.
Carl Landry - Nice but redundant for the Raptors.
Mike Conley - I don't know his game...at all. I don't see it, but will leave for anyone else to comment.
Xavier Henry - certainly, especially with his troubles with signing. Could be a great upside player and may be had for little due to the "negotiations".
Monta Ellis - nah, quick but not sure I see a fit, especially at $11M. He needs to push himself more, at the same time learn how to control the ball (turnovers).
Andris Bidreins - Perhaps, might work, he isn't happy, but will he be here. He seems to want to be a focus of the offense and get the ball passed into him. Not sure that will work with the 'Bargnani' plan. So on second thought maybe...
Marcus Camby(again) - Would love him but let's move on. If we get anything here it is the risk on injury prone Oden.

Should the Raptors drop/trade the following players:
Reggie Evans - Love his ethic, but ba-bye. Trade bait.
Marco Bellenlli - for the right fit yes, otherwise no.
Jose Calderon - I am on the pro-Calderon side, however prefer to see him traded.
Joey Dorsey - keep, cheap chance to take.
Marcus Banks - trade bait with the expiring.
Dwayne Jones - Who knows, he will be trade fodder, or a solid bench warmer.
Patrick OBryant - dude, he's gone, not to be back.

Give us your opinion first lol

Gilbert Arenas:Yea big deal gilbert made one bad mistake and he was doing it for a joke without knowing the consequences, thats like saying kobe shouldnt play because of what he was charged with. He's still a good player whos had time to reflect on what he did and is already more mature and knows that what he did was wrong.

Carl Landry: Could agree if amir left the team but amir leaving the young gunz is like saying LBJ will only average 5ppg

Mike Conley: He's has been compared to a younger ,faster, stronger and more defensive version of TJ Ford who likes to push the ball, which can be good for the uptempo system i think BC is trying to make.

Monta Ellis: its not like he's were gonna get worse a trade for calderon and someone could benefit both teams.For the raptors we can get a top tier defender who can run and get points and pass the ball with the best point guards in the league. For the Warriors they get a passing genius which fits their run and gun system of not playing much defense(calderon specilty)

Andris Bidreins: You can change him to Tasyuan prince

Marcus Camby: after seeing his injuries i think i agree with you maybe another 7 foot defender.

Xavier Henry: If Memphis could sign him then trade him with Mike Conley for a package of Calderon, Belleneli and Money/ Draft pick we could be looking at a very good team or better then we were last week

[Priest]

Seeing how our roster is made up of young guys....Xavier Henry all the way if were BC. I would throw anything at Memphis for him lol except obviously the young guns

I like your style. No tasks is ever too big to tackle. Let me add my two cents.

Reggie and Marcus - package and trade to some one looking for cap relief
Marco - keep and develop him as a long term security for SG. His game is decent and he comes cheap.
Joey - cheap and strong so keep to fill space or the bench
Jose - if only we had signed him to a decent contract as a back up. Damn you Colangelo. Trade

[blackjitsu]

Lets see...

Gilbert Arenas - Too old, too injured
Carl Landry - Nice but redundant for the Raptors. ---True
Mike Conley -I like his game but a little short
Xavier Henry - That would be theft. Xavier at the 2, DeRozen at the 3 would be sick.
Monta Ellis - Depends who we trade him for. Could be a Jamal Crawford type.
Andris Bidreins - Like his game more than Bargs (he's at least a real 5)
Marcus Camby(again) -No

Should the Raptors drop/trade the following players:
Reggie Evans - Yes.
Marco Bellenlli - Maybe
Jose Calderon - Only for the right piece
Joey Dorsey - No
Dwayne Jones - Hell yes
Patrick OBryant - I don't hate the playa I hate his mediocre game, but he really milked that one good NCAA tourney...I respect that -- have fun playing in China.

[mefirstgg]

just a little name to throw into the hat - Patty Mills.

If we look to trade out Jose, Banks and to a smaller extent Marco then a cheap option at the point could be handy. With a few years and a few minutes to work with he could be a very good player. Portland have the qualifying on him but there roster is currently at 15 which only opens the door.

[Raptor4Ever]

[BC Boy]

Should the Raptors go after the following players:
Gilbert Arenas - No, we need playmaking point guards
Carl Landry - No, brings nothing we don't already have
Mike Conley - Haven't seen enough of him
Xavier Henry - Haven't seen him, youth movement is good - is there an attitude problem because he won't sign? (don't know the issues)
Monta Ellis - sexy choice but not the right fit IMO
Andris Bidreins - already said he is my choice for a realistic addition (16% free throw last year really hurts)
Marcus Camby(again) - could fit beside Bargs, but Biedrins fits the youth movement better

Should the Raptors drop/trade the following players:
Reggie Evans - yes, dorsey is more agile and cheaper
Marco Bellenlli - i like him as our back-up point with barbosa at the 2 - defensive nightmare
Jose Calderon - love calderon's dedication, but he has to go..especially since the botched trade
Joey Dorsey - keep him
Marcus Banks - neutral - use him in a trade
Dwayne Jones - neutral
Patrick OBryant - see you later

I would take a chance on gilbert but I think toronto will be extremely mindful of bringing in star players at this point.

Andris Bidreins is the only other player on that list i would look at seriously.

[ceez]

i've said it before in the other xavier henry thread, but i froth at the mouth at the idea of getting him. a terrific shooter and great defender, he'd fit on the team perfectly at the shooting guard. outside of DD give memphis whoever they want for him. if we could get conley too that'd be awesome.

[ceez]

a young nucleus of henry, DD, davis and weems is boner inducing. if we can draft or get a stud PG and center in the next couple years we'll be a force to be reckoned with sooner than later.

Seems Detroit just signed TMac:

Maybe Rip or Tayshaun can be had?
