Raptor Draft Night Hopes and Expectations

Make that a poll option

Don't draft Vesely

[Tim W.]

I really have absolutely no idea what to expect come draft night. I wouldn't be surprised to see them wheeling and dealing, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see them stick with the #5 pick.

I don't think Bargnani gets traded on draft night though, because of his base year contract. He could, to a team under the cap, but I'm doubtful it will happen.

If the Raptors don't draft a PG, I wouldn't be surprised to see Calderon on the roster come the start of the season, and I wouldn't have a problem with that at all. Unless they get a clearly better option, then I'd rather stick with Calderon. A better defensive system and the loss of Bargnani will make his defense a lot less of a liability.

Trade Bargs for a lotto pick (Sac #7?), Draft Walker and Biyombo
Next year get a solid Sf (Barnes?)

trade bargs, jose, get center spend some tpe for 1st rd pick

I didn't want to get greedy so I only chose three options

But if I had to prioritize and pick one option, I'd choose 'Trade Bargnani'. I think he has ultimately become the Hedo of 2011. I'd want that over another lotto pick. However if we can get another lotto pick for Bargs, even better

The Raptors need a culture change, and trading Bargnani is the way to achieve that, imho.

If you are anything like me a good majority of your Raptor-related thoughts have been draft related since early-mid January. Now that the special night is almost, finally, here what are your hopes and expectations for the evening?


If an option isn't given, use the comment section to voice any differing hopes and expectations.

For the draft selections, use the comments to clarify who if you wish.
