Start of year.
PG: Lowry.

Sixth Man: Ross

End of year, and what I hope for
PG: Lowry
SG: Harden
SF: DeRozan (I hope he's bulked and beefed up)
PF: Bargnani
C: Valanciunas

Sixth Man: Ross and Fredette

Sigh, pipe dreams

Assuming JV & Ross can learn fairly quickly and ED continues to improve & mature, I can see a lineup of Lowry, Ross, Fields, ED & JV being very potent on the defensive end at some point this season.

Raptors seem to have a deep lineup of somewhat talented players. If they come together and compete as a team I can see them playing on a level above that of their talent.

Plus if Derozan and Bargnani both have break-out seasons, this team will be headed in the right direction. Last I heard was Bargnani was resting up and working on his game in Italy. And Derozan was the leading scorer for the select team, so things are good for these two in their Summer, for now..

Linas is making a case for quite a few minutes this year.

i say trade ed for some picks and a 3rd string Sg

Alan Anderson can play the 2 as well. I'm not to worried about the depth at the wing position, because Casey plans to use his players as 'wings', not 2's or 3's so to speak.

PG: Kyle Lowry, Jose Calderon, John Lucas III
SG: Demar Derozan, Terrence Ross
SF: Landry Fields, Linas Kleiza, Alan Anderson
PF: Andrea Bargnani, Ed Davis, Amir Johnson, Quincy Acy
C: Jonas Valanciunas, Aaron Gray, *Jamaal Magloire*?

That 4 spot looks overly congested to me. Moving Ed/Amir, or even both for a better 4 would be nice to end off the off-season. I also do hope that Jose Calderon changes his mind and stays in Toronto, and even signs an extension for less money, he's a fan favourite here, and a true professional.

how did everyone even get this Iguodala business?? I haven't even heard any rumours of him coming to T.O., are leaving philly for that matter...

[Letter N]

dude derozan shot 81% from the line and 26% from 3. Get your stats right homes

My numbers were for Landry, our big free agent signing. Dont get me wrong, AA isn't good, his competition is that bad.

As for DD, if you can convince a team to trade a great SF for a 4th year player who still doesn't know how to dribble, shoot or play defense, you don't walk, you run to sign off on that.

[ReubenJRD]

ouch?

Why don't you contribute something useful.

Alan Anderson didn't shoot 56% from the line and 25% from 3pt last year.
