PG: Lowry
SG: Fields
SF: IGGY!!
PF: Bargnani ----> I will bet anyone her ethat he will make the all star team this year
C: JV
Raptors will get Iguadala...philly has Evan Turn who is a 3 and just drafted Moe Harkless who is also a 3...plus they'll stink ths year...they need a 2 and we have plenty..plus ed davis and maybe a pick
PG: Kyle Lowry
SG: Demar Derozan
SF: Landry Fields
PF: Andrea Bargnani
C: Jonas Valanciunas (Beginning of season, Aaron Gray or Amir Johnson)
Terrence Ross off the bench is in a role similar to James Harden's. The guy is a 3/D right now, huge spark plug. In addition, remember that the best sixth men have range, even if they are volume shooters, or guys with not great percentages, they can shoot from the outside. Names I can give, Harden, Crawford, Mike Miller, Barbosa, Jamison, J.R Smith.

+1 the exact lineup I'm thinking. This is the most accurate, and i can almost guarantee that this will be the lineup when the season starts.

Yeah, like my original post, beginning of the season, starting JV may not be the best in terms of just transitioning into the league, but down the road JV taking over is most likely.
not sure if I want to give up DeRozan in a trade for someone like Iggy, who's numbers have been steadily declining ever since his rookie season. He scored 12.4 ppg last year and shot an AWFUL 61% from the FT line. meanwhile DeMar had 16.7 ppg, 81% from FT and only shot 3% less fg% then Iguodala, which is good considering he's an terrible shooter. and all of DeMar's numbers come with the fact that he's projected to go 20+ ppg this season

I disagree DD is projected to go 20+. His efficiency has been getting worse every year.
As for AI, I thought that as well. I think it was a post from thead that set me straight. Check AI's field goal attempts and shooting percentages. He has not declined in %'s except ft's and his fga per game have dropped by almost 6. Shooting 45% that is about 5.4 points per game (that is straight 2's, not including ft's or 3pt attempts). He has played a much different role since Dough Collins took over. Combine that with the defense, rebounding, and assists I think AI would be a great pick up - even if it meant losing DD.

I'd rather have a young player on a possibility to break out rather than declining numbers proven on history.

But AI is not declining - except FT's. He is in his prime.
Would you rather a player in his prime versus a player who is possible to breakout while with another player with better skills waiting in the wings? At this point in time, I'd rather have AI given there is more potential in Ross, in my opinion.
New coach with new demands of him have affected his ppg. Everything else is on par.
