Most likely they will have a mid-range 15 - 20 pick and a 20 - 25 pick; i.e. Miami's.
They could always try and package those for a single pick in the top 10.

Apollo wrote: View PostExcellent point. At this point I could really see them letting Reggie and Peja expire, taking the TPE to the draft and working something out using their flexibility before the CBA runs out. Maybe they move up? Maybe they add a third 1st round draft choice, who knows?

bargs wouldnt have to be parked behind the ark to spread the floor & he could still play his game with howard there. just the threat of bargs shooting would be enough to clear some room for superman to dominate the paint & vice versa..
second, peitrus & barnes are good back up SF but would be horribly exposed at the 4...
bargs defencive liabilities & lack of rebounding are well documented soo i cant arguee with that but who else would be better next to him then the most dominant rebounder & defender in the league. D.Howard makes getting 20 rebounds look soo easy too..
defending the 3 point line isnt the responsability of the PF or C anyway....its defending the paint...
Bargnani can't defend anyone more than 10 feet from the basket.
Bargs is just not great a three point shooter. Why do think Triano has him playing in the low post? If Bargs could shoot 40% -45% which is probably about the minimum in today's game to qualify as a good three point shooter Triano would have shooting a lot more three ball shots.
Thankfully for the Raptors Bargnani agrees and is working hard on improving his post moves and scoring.Last edited by Buddahfan; Thu Nov 25, 2010, 09:09 PM.

In addition, Bargs can absolutely not defend anyone away from the basket, though he does get lucky once in a while trying to do it.
Bargnani's best game is when he plays most of the time within 15 feet of the basket. His game also is scoring not defense or rebounding.
Right now Howard has become the best low post threat in the NBA, being able to score with almost as many moves down low as Pau does.
So Bargnani would be restricted to shooting three's. I would rather have M. Pietrus or M. Barnes out there alongside Howard than Bargnani because they can both shoot the three plus they can defend the wing which Bargnani can't.
Bargnani is best utilized as a low post player occasionally taking mid-range jumpers and stepping outside the three point arc.
No room for Howard and Bargnani is the paint on the same team.
Come to think of it I am not so sure that Howard would make Bargnani look good.
Just my opinion.

on a side note D.Howard would be great next to Bargs, thed compliment each other beautifully. MAKE IT HAPPEN BC!

They now have nine players on their roster 25 and under.
They are going young and BC will continue to look for very good young players to draft or steal in a trade like he has done with Bayless, Johnson and Weems.

Thank You MJ!
if it wasnt for you id be forced to watch JJ run the point on a very disapointing Raptor team, instead im watching very entertaining BBALL & were actually winning!
Kudos to Jose for turning his fortunes around, he has always givin everything to this team, alot of times the last couple of seasons in wasnt enough but he always gave it 100%
again Thank You MJ

I have been amazed by what he has been doing and have absolutely loved it. The rate that he is grabbing boards and the problems that he is causing (he went one on four last night at one point and the only reason he did not get the ball was because two players held him down). As important as he is to the Raptors this year, history seems to say that he will not be this good in the years to come.

Apollo wrote: View PostI would argue that even the least savvy GM in the league realizes that Reggie's numbers are inflated due to being on a notoriously rebound deficient team. The stats really weren't meant to be the focus of this thread. The focus was meant to be about how he approaches the game, why it's needed and the lack there of if he's not here. Yeah, he's on a contract year but many owners are pinching pennies due to the great recession and uncertainty about the CBA and it's new cap restrictions. I don't think there is going to be a bidding war for Reggie's services. I think it will come down to "Do the Raptors want him back?" If yes then I feel the contract won't be the sticking point, it'll be whether or not teams like the Spurs appeal to him more now that he's in his 30's and with no glory to show for it thus far.

Bendit wrote: View PostI admit I am torn but I have experienced too much of the contract year wonder performance not to cash in the chips on what has undoubtedly become a great asset. Remember Reggie wouldnt have these numbers with most other teams because he wouldnt get as much time. We cannot forget the goal of getting long term assets (which Reggie would not be) for a sustainable winning franchise. A good compromise would be to get someone young and with a big upside (or a later first rounder) at the trade deadline and then try and resign him after the year.
ps..we have Dorsey the clone to replace him

When I look around this league at someone to replace him, nobody, NOBODY comes to mind.Last edited by Apollo; Thu Nov 25, 2010, 12:04 PM.
