Raptors 2012-13 Starting SF, poll 2.0

[ceez]

more impressed with the rebounds than points, but he's got a nice inside/outside game. i think he could translate to SF pretty well. he'd be especially effective in zone D next to bargs and val.

Damn it all i just saw Chandler on the list now

i'd be happy with either/or.

whats the word on Chandler's knee (i think it was his knee?) though?

Chandler with the caveat he is all healed up. He can play both sg & sf and with Batum who may have just a bit more upside and is commanding 12-13 mill per, his contract is a good one at about 7.5 for the next 4 yrs. A protected 1st next year in exchange might do it.

I'm not convinced Ilyasova is a SF. I say that in the same spirit I would about Josh Smith but I think Josh Smith is more SF than Ilyasova.

[mcHAPPY]

BC had made reference to starting season status quo and using "flexibility" as season progressed - Dec. 15- Feb. 15/trade deadline period.

Kirilenko doesn't interest me. To sign him means good bye to Bayless, Gray, Weems, TPE, and MLE.

Iguodala would be my first choice, with Ilyasova right behind him.

Ilyasova with Ross starting at SG

The thread for the first poll was started on June 6th (link:http://raptorsrepublic.com/forums/sh...ye-AI-Gay-(36)). A lot has changed since then, so I figured now would be a good time to do an updated polling of the Republic, regarding the Raptors starting SF for next season.

Off the Market:
Rudy Gay - with the release of OJ Mayo, it appears as though Memphis is committing to Gay
Nicolas Batum - he has stated that he will only play for Minnesota or Portland

Options:
James Johnson / Linas Kleiza - stick to the status quo of last season

Demar DeRozan - shift to SF, allowing Terrence Ross to start at SG

Andre Iguodala - trade with Philadelphia; 28/29 yrs next season, 12-13: $14.7M, 13-14: $15.9M (player option)

Luol Deng - trade with Chicago; 27 yrs next season, 12-13: $13.3M, 13-14: $14.3M

Wilson Chandler - trade with Denver; 24 yrs next season, 12-13: $7.4M, 13-14: $7.4M, 14-15: $7.4M, 15-16: $7.4M

Ersan Ilyasova - free agent signing; 25 yrs next season, likely around $10M per season

Andrei Kirilenko - free agent signing; 31/32 yrs next season, likely around $10M per season

Somebody else?
