They are fairly deep at every position, other than PG. Lawson is under contract and I had read that they would consider re-signing Andre Miller. I wonder if they'd have any interest in Calderon or Bayless (whichever doesn't go to Phoenix for Nash, perhaps)?
I wonder if the TPE (cap space relief) and 2013 2nd round pick would be enough, if they aren't interested in either PG?

I was very pleased to hear Coach Casey call Demar the eventual closer, meaning Demar will be not untouchable, but someone who is unlikely to get traded.
Anyways, I feel that this off-season will be very surprising. What happened in the draft last night proved that teams are looking in different directions than most predicted right now. Very excited to see what goes on with the Raptors. Right now, I feel the fans want the biggest priority to be, is to sign Steve Nash, but IMO, it should be locking up every single position right now. Meaning which we NEED the small forward. Terrence Ross isn't a project, he's going to be a contributor from the get-go, but he won't start and make huge impacts in the game. James Johnson hasn't proven too much yet, he's shown his ability to be a good help defender, on ball and post defender, and offense is coming along.. Linas is only here to be the blanket that comforts Jonas.
Anything we do in my opinion should be locking up the small forward spot, and worrying about a consistent point guard other than Jose. Steve will be good, but two 30+ year olds running the team scares me in a way.Last edited by ReubenJRD; Fri Jun 29, 2012, 05:02 PM.

Chandler is one to watch for, given his previous links to Toronto and the fact BC could absorb his contract using the Barbosa-TPE.

Hmmmm...with Quincy Acy on board i guess it would be a safe bet to assume that either Amir or Ed wont be in a Raptor jersey once the season starts.

Raps need a slasher. I like Ilyasova as a sixth man (if demar is traded) but theres such thing as too many shooters. Just ask Chicago.

Starters.
The Raptors are no closer to having legit starters than they were 2 days ago.
Think of how many games Toronto ended up down only to fight back?
The 2nd unit is strong and I think the addition of Ross makes them stronger. But the problem is not the 2nd unit.
BC: Get me some starters!

Ilyasova was a mad-bomber from deep last year - 46%. Raptors need shooters. I think I would still prefer Gay, Iggy, Deng. But this could work too.

Actually Ilyasova would be a great fit as our SF (as long as his ball handling skills are goo). He can shoot the three well, and he rebounds very well. It's almost like him and Bargs would be the co 3 and 4. When Bargs floats out to the 3 point line, Ilyasove can play inside and visa versa. I hope you are right!

Raps to go hard after Nash and Ilyasova
I have it on good authority from a very reliable media source close to the organization that the Raps are going all in on Nash (obviously), but also on Ersan Ilyasova to play the 3. I like this duo if they can land them both. Ilyasova can play the 3 and 4 and his #s have improved each season. He's a strong rebounder and can do a bit of everything

Played well his rookie and sophmore seasons but then move to bench and subsequent trades (albeit failed attempts to indiana and possibly others) seen his production decrease. Had solid post season last year, this year, not so much.
I really hope he strongly considered in Toronto. I mean a 2 guard with size and ability to create for himself is a dream come true.
I see Indiana as front runners for OJ mayo though. THey have been chasing him for years and now a FA, dont need Eric Gordon when you can get OJ mayo
