Cause a lot of foul trouble to the opposition and sometimes even get double teamed. With him, it would give Bargnani and DeRozan more space on offense. But yeah, Corey Maggette is still Corey Maggette.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!

When a team is at the bottom of the league on defense, but basically in the middle of the pack on offense, the last thing you need to do is bring in another offensive player who can't defend.“I have no idea who Chukwudiebere Maduabum is, but on his Draft Express profile, he’s listed as Chu Chu. I think he’s worthy of picking just for that. He immediately is in the running for best All-Time NBA name.” -Tim W.

Tim W. wrote: View PostTrue that you don't want to build with him, but I wouldn't take him no matter what the contract. With a young team like the Raptors, you need to create the right atmosphere and mindset among the players. They need to learn how to play the right way, and having guys on the team who simply don't care about defense will hurt the development of the team as a whole. Besides, I don't think high scoring games with bad defense is exciting.
Well when you consider we go crazy when DeRozan goes for a slam, with Maggette around there would be a lot more drives and dunks Anyways, I think Barnes would solve our problem at the 3. After that we'd only need a good PG and a defensive center. Seems so easy, damn. Takes me a couple trades on 2k11 to make the Raptors a contending team

I think they should keep Andrea Bargnani, Ed Davis, Amir Johnson, Reggie Evans and Joey Dorsey, then there's some good options on the market this summer like Sam Dalembert and Tyson Chandler. And why not give a try at Yao and Greg Oden? Also there is good power forwards like Zach Randolph and Kris Humphries who is now a lot better than when he was with the Raps (he averages a double-double)! I still think the best and the more realistic option would be Samuel Dalembert.

I'm not married to any of the bigs but this is my order of preference:
1) Ed
2) Andrea (controversial but given the right teammates *cough*Josh Smith*cough* he could crreate some serious match up nightmares while having others clean up his shortcomings. I also hold out hope he might 'get it' at some point - although I have nothing to base this hope on).
3) Amir
4) Ajinca (every team needs a project and I'd much rather him than Alabi - same age but Ajinca can move, Alabi should be in a lumber yard)
5) Reggie (at the right price.)
6) Dorsey (seems like a great teammate but sometimes that just isn't enough)
7) Alabi (take him back Ujiri, he was your project!)
