2012 Draft Thursday, June 28th: Raptors select Terence Ross

[CalgaryRapsFan]

Can't they go to Golden State for Barnes?

Golden State can't offer them $10+M in cap relief like Toronto can, which is the main reason they would trade Gay - to re-sign Mayo, Speights and Arthur.

Ross & Davis & JJ for Gay & #25 --> would free up over $11M cap space for Memphis

We could have traded down to 15 and still got him.

frustrating.

after missing out on barnes

Just curious. What about Deng? Chicago have been wanting Barnes for a long time now...

[Red and White]

I am rooting for Drummond. I hope he fits in with Monroe.

[CalgaryRapsFan]

On the bright side: He's not another euro?

Tone down the racism... Valanciunas looks like a pretty solid EURO coming in.

[MangoKid]

Good on the Pistons. That's a solid foundation with Drummond, Munroe and Knight

[Rainman]

Now I gotta watch some clips. Wasn't expecting this to happen...

I know. It was a joke...

I really like Ross but that's a heck of a reach. I wonder if this is some kind of trade or something. Could have traded down for him.

[Blacklash2k4]

Pistons totally got a steal at the 9th spot..

[Ambidextrious]

WOW TERRENCE ROSS!!??
I didnt see that one coming. but man am i ever excited with the pick. I think BC made an excellent pick.

[Maleko]

I said long ago in the main draft thread that I had a feeling TRoss could be the best player to come out of this draft excluding Davis.

Very happy but I think we could have traded down to get him and gain an asset.

[draftedraptor]

Why did we not pick Drummond?

You'd think they could've traded with Houston and drafted Ross @ #12, while picking up Lowry. Either BC really loves him, or another team does.

Torching

Now wait to see Drummond torching Raptors each time we play Pistons ... The like Iggy, Granger and son on!
