Jay needs to give more and more minutes to Davis and really groom him to play along side AB.

Amir's contract: 2010/11$5,000,000; 2011/12 $5,500,000; 2012/13 $6,000,000; 2013/14 $6,500,000; 2014/15 $7,000,000
Compare that to Diop, or Jeff Foster, or Brendan Haywood, or Joel Pryzbilla, and on and on.

The point here is that the future belongs to Ed Davis. He has a higher basketball IQ than Amir, is more talented and is younger and ... Amir has no place in this team.
FIX this mistake ASAP BC !! you know you have some unfinished business with Keliza's contract as well
Amir is hardly a mistake. Kleiza got injured - it is unfortunate, not a mistake, in my opinion.

Apollo wrote: View PostYes. in another thread, I said if Ed Davis packs on muscle. The man is 6'10 and has great reach. There are many centers in the league who are 6'10". Look at the combo of Bargnani and Bosh last year compared to the top five teams. They were greatly lacking in other areas. I said if Ed packs on muscle, and the Raptors get some more fire power at the wing and/or perimeter then it would work well. The Raptors haven't had the paint on lock down since Antonio Davis, Oak and Clark were knocking guys around here. They almost went to the conference finals then. They should have went to the NBA finals then.
So let's say that Davis puts on the pounds. One other aspect that has me concerned is that they are both very similar players. Both are bangers and at this point have shown very little semblance of a post game. We've seen flashes from Amir, but that's about it. Raps would be relying a whole lot on the perimeter game and garbage buckets.Eh follow my TWITTER!

I would feel a lot better about the future if we're talking about two defensive, rebounding big men rather than Bargnani and one defensive, rebounding big man.
By the way, Ed only needs 15lbs to reach Noah's size. Just saying...

Also, Just because bunch of dudes are over paid and have a bad contract, it does not make Amir's good any better !! Jason Kapano is getting paid 7 million a year , is it fair to Pay Sonny Weems 5 and then say he is not over paid !!! Come on, where is the logic there ??
Now,as far as the numbers, anyone can put up big numbers in garbage team like Raptor. Remember the numbers that David Lee was putting up last year in NY ? Where is he now ?
If we give Ed Davis the same minute as Amir RIGHT NOW, he can easily put up the same numbers. Next year, Amir can not even come close to Davis and his Ass and his big contract will be nailed to the bench !!

I dont think Amir is "flourishing" on this team because its a garbage team. An example of your point is probably Beasley, honestly, i dont think he is that good, but he's getting 21 shots because he's on a bad team. Same with K-Love. I think Love's numbers are a bit bloated because no other guy rebounds on that team. Dont get me wrong, he is a good rebounder but 15 a game is a bit too much. Amir's numbers are solid. If forced to do more, he probably could. And David Lee still, pretty much has the same numbers he had back in NYC, well a little under but not far off.
I agree, i think Davis should start and Amir be the backup, but thats me.
Kleiza has to go no doubt, specially if we get a wing in the draft.

For what Amir brings to the table, 5.5-7mil is justifiable, IMO. He's pretty much getting the same salary as Marvin Williams, Al Harrington, Thabeet, Luke Walton....and Amir is pretty much the same or better than these guys but definitely not lower.
