I like the Lowry trade.

BryCo is a Spin Doctor and has no trouble restating the goals in a manner that will best benefit himself and his employer. A bit like a CEO who tells the shareholders the Company had a great year because they grew the EBIT by 5.2% and the employees they would only received 1.6% raises on average because they failed to increase the EBIT to 6.0%, as projected.
It's a talent.

landry isn't even on it because i think they say he is a 2. from this list i would take grant hill/batum and against what a lot of people say, beasley, over landry. the beas would have been a lot cheaper, hill would have been a great vet and batum would have had more potential.
We're talking 6.7 WP for Fields in a bad season for him, vs a -0.3 for Beasley.
Also, Fields had a better WP than Gay too. Advanced stats are on his side big time.

Is Fields $1-2M overpaid, based on his average salary over the life of the contract? Yes. Though technically he's not really even overpaid until the 3rd year of his deal, when is spikes significantly. However, as a 26 year old veteran wing on an expiring $9M-ish contract, who says he even finishes the contract with the Raptors? I think he'll be a decent addition, albeit perhaps slightly overpaid, but I don't see his signing preventing other better moves from getting done (either ones we've already missed out on or could miss out on).

he is a cap hit of 6.whatever a year for us, the average of the three years together.

We have the possibility to have about 10$ million free in cap space with the expiring contract of Jose (correct if mistaken). We have good flexibility for next summer, being rumoured that this team's off-season is complete, next possible moves by trade-deadline. Letting Demar walk, Jose walk, and using either Ed/Amir in a trade, could clear up considerable cap space next summer.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

this year a lot the savings of jose expiring will be eaten by the cap hold of demar or if the sign an extension his next contracts yearly figure will be his cap number.

I remember someone saying there is a difference with re-signing a player with rights, and I believe Demar was that exception, or something of that sort... Sorry, also confusing myself there, but apparently, Demar's contract would not hit our cap room completely. :S :?
Otherwise, I do agree, but remember, either Ed and Amir are expendable, allowing to free up at least 2$ million in cap, minus the approx. 8$ million in Demar's contract from Jose's expiring contract, the team would be left with 4$ million next season, not to mention we can still use the MLE? (correct me if I'm mistaken). Sorry, not totally certain on the financial part of the game.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

Same with Amir Johnson's supposed 5 year, $35M deal.
sometimes they just need to write something quickly in order to meet deadlines....The problem is a story builds around these fluff points and all of a sudden we are being lambasted for certain moves based on inaccurate information
