I want this whole scenario to happen to very badly.
Nash would take this team to another level, I think the raptors could be top4 in the East next season, and who knows after that. And from what I've seen of Kabongo is that he is a natural leader that players love to play for. He's only going to get better as the quality of targets improve.
Even if Kabongo isn't an option, I think Nash+Jose would be a pretty deadly duo for next year the way our frontcourt is shaping up. I mean, look how good Nash makes Marcin Gortat and Robin Lopez look. Can you even imagine what it would be like with Bargnani, Jonas and Amir? I would be willing to least roll the dice and see it play out until next years deadline. Jose, like Nash, is always a team-first and loyal guy, and he might be willing to give us a sweetheart deal on contract if it means contending deep in the playoffs. Guys, it's almost exclusively veteran teams (read: old dudes), that are the ones who win championships, often with the aid of some youthful talent and a stud scorer in his prime. If Colangelo and Nash could make this happen, I see this as the exact scenario shaping up for the Raptors in the near future.
Signing Nash to a 2 year, or even a 3yr, deal doesn't impair the long-term plan.
Maybe I'm an eternal optimist.
