Would you wait for a SF?

I see it more likely that Calderon winds up with Dallas somehow and that Iggy is the SF that BC is targeting. Philly has 5 wings (Iggy, Thad Young, Harkless, Nick Young and Evan Turner) and is building for the future. The one position they need to upgrade is PF, where the Raps could offer Davis or Amir.

IMO, the only asset I see trading away is Calderon and either of Ed/Amir. Seeing either of our 4 wings getting traded to me is unlikely, Demar seems to be a lock due to the statements/comments of BC and DC.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

My official position for at least the time being is. We have upgraded every single position but SF. I am okay with seeing what Kleiza can do healthy and if Fields can adapt to the role. Our bench is better, both our knuckleheads are gone, 3 is the only position still needing attention, but I think it can waitFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

Fields is a player who can do everything, a player who is good at everything, but a master of nothing. Only drawback to him was his drop in production like Demar, but with the ability to be with the team and coaches all off-season, somethings could flow.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

I also took a look at Philly's forum, specifically the article about Wright's acquisition. The consensus seemed to be that Philly was doing with wings what Minny did a few years ago with PGs... collecting as many as possible for god knows what reason! lol They seemed to think the writing was on the wall for Iggy, hoping mainly for an upgrade at PF - several of them were mentioning one of Utah's many PFs as a potential target (mainly Jefferson).
I'm not sure what interest Philly might have in Amir or Davis. Davis would seem to fit with their young core the best, especially given his price-VS-upside. Amir is also young and he seems to be the exact type of blue-collar inside PF that would fit well in Philly. If Calderon was unloaded in a separate deal (bringing no more than roughly $4.5M back), then Toronto could conceivably trade Amir to Philly for Iggy outright, though it would definitely need some sweeteners (ie: draft picks), because I doubt Amir and an $8.7M TPE (and cost savings) would be enough on its own.

If Utah is willing to part with Jefferson (would give more minutes to Kanter and Favors) then a 3-way trade like this might work:
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=6opnfx4
Toronto: Iggy & Watson
Philly: Jefferson
Utah: Calderon, DeRozan, Davis
Utah has a weak backcourt. Calderon and DeRozan would be a big upgrade. Davis would give them some bench depth. They just acquired Mo Williams, but he's a combo guard, and can play the 2 with DD as Calderon takes the primary PG position. AJ has an expiring contract which would benefit Philly and give them a true center that they can use next year. Earl Watson would be an okay backup PG for us. I'd take him over Uzoh.

If Utah wasn't interested in Calderon, a deal could also be worked out with Boston & Dallas (per Matt's idea) to send Terry to Boston (S&T) and Calderon to Dallas. Whatever piece needs to come from Dallas (Jones or Carter maybe) and possibly Boston (a 2nd round pick as thanks for doing Terry as S&T?), could be included with a flip to Utah in mind. If Utah wanted to shed salary, they could take Carter, with Toronto providing the $2M to cover the cost of his buyout (in addition to Davis and/or DeRozan).
