Either Dwight Howard or Mark Gasol or Boris Diaw or Spencer Hawes or Tyson Chandler, in that order.
Either J. R. Smith or Thaddeus Young or Wilson Chandler or Jeff Green or Danilo Gallinari or Derrick Williams, in that order.
Either Chris Paul or Deron Williams or Ray Felton or Kyrie Irving, in that order.
All the others mentioned so far are just not good enough.

Felton might be available, but again, if we can get Irving, you can bet we don't bother looking at anyone else.
Overall, all the players you've listed would ultimately up the talent level of the team, but a few might not fit into what we've got going. But then again, on a 22 win team, who's to say we've got anything going.Last edited by Joey; Mon May 2, 2011, 11:54 PM.

Joey, I was just reacting to all the players that have been mentioned in this very thread so far. My lists are 1) C/PF, 2) SF/SG, & 3)PG because we have a maximum of three spots on our team rotation that can and should be effectively filled. I wasn't sweating the details. I was just trying to shorten the road to some conclusions. We needn't waste time on all the others, since they couldn't make our rotation, such that it is. I was really just answering my own question ... "Who is really worthy of consideration at this point?" I just hope that the debates can go on from there ...

This conversation is being moved from another thread ...
So far, I'm convinced the following is what is probable & do-able ...
1) Extend Bryan Colangelo.
2) Extend Jay Triano.
3) MOVE ANDREA BARGNANI to #1 Swing Forward.
4) Trade the $9M Traded Player Exception for best offer, period.
(It can be an extra draft pick next year.)
5) (Trade down to #10? to ...) DRAFT JIMMER FREDETTE (#11), for his 3-point shooting.
6) SIGN Restricted Free Agent MARC GASOL (7.5-15.5M/yr over 4 yrs) for his
shot-blocking, rebounding & in-out passing.
7) Sign Free Agent Joey Dorsey as an injury sub.
8) Sign Free Agent Reggie Evans as a player-coach.
9) Sign Free Agent Point/Swing Guard ________? as a list player.
Rotation=
CALDERON, BAYLESS, Fredette & ________?
BARGNANI, DEROZAN, BARBOSA, J. JOHNSON & KLEIZA.
M. Gasol, A. JOHNSON, DAVIS, DORSEY, EVANS & SOLOMAN.
What do you think?

Arron Afflalo? Jason Thompson?
Raptors_ wrote: View PostMarc gasol is a maybe. Arron afallo will address our 3pt shooting. Jason thompson could be a decent back up C for gasol(if we get him). And the lottery is on the 17th and we could end up with 2nd or 1st.
Jason's look more promising ... 27.5 MPG, 0.8 BPG, 7.3 RPG, & 10.8 PPG. He's an intriguing big man. But we don't need a sub C/PF. That's where Ed will play next season.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Denver Nuggets will be without starting guard Arron Afflalo for Game 1 of their playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night.
Afflalo has missed 13 games since early March because of a strained left hamstring. He has tried to come back and play three separate times, most recently aggravating the injury against Golden State last week.
"I've been through the situation before where I can get to a week to 10-day period where my body feels good, as if I can play, and then I get on the court and it's not the case," Afflalo said.
Battling a leg injury affects your shot from anywhere, especially long range where you really need to get your legs into it.
