Just listened to raps hq pod. They touched on $15m for pat or jv. Pats been more important imo all yr. Plenty of time to eval performance and guage the market.
Deadline feels rushed but just for fun:
Bogut + Anderson + 2nd Rd pick swap
For jv + fvv
Anderson is 230lbs but can't shoot. He's got D potential. The 2nd in the 30s is not much worse than the clips 1st in this draft. We could maybe snag Evans and trade cory or package Cory + both picks to move up.
I think he can still fetch a first rounder. I don't trust the talk on Brook, he'll net a first for sure, and JV is much younger.

So the other PGs and wings just need to be able to shoot and defend, and create occasionally. Cue Powell and Wright. Meanwhile, we've seen how critical having a good threat on the roll is to the offence, and how crucial a floor spacing defensive PF like Pat and Ibaka is on both ends. Invest there, lean on the all stars in the back court, and fill in the rest of the gaps cheaply.
Backup C who will get limited minutes due to Ibaka/Pat lineups? Poeltl, locked in for a few years. So trade BeBe for value or to grease a salary shedding deal before he is up for a raise in summer 2018. Backup and third string PG? Wright and Van Vleet combined make under 3M, both have looked good in short stints. Trade Cory to clear space. Powell has looked fantastic whenever he's played, and you have to expect Bruno to contribute eventually (and frankly Toupane deserves another call up) - nevermind the flexibility given by having Lowry play some minutes at the 2. So move Carroll for cap space. Powell makes the minimum next year then is RFA, and can play heavy minutes. Maybe find a bench 3+D wing coming back in one of those trades to bolster the reserves in the short term.
I feel a lot better about ibakas potential decline if he's getting mins at the 5.
I like toupane but his shooting is still suspect and I'd prefer a guy with a little more bulk. Solid plan b tho. Great 2nd unit glue guy, good attitude.

Anyways better late than never.

Raptors were getting good looks in the 3rd too. It's just they couldn't make any 3s till the 4th. Jack even said during the 3rd that the ball movement and quality of the shots were good but, no one could hit anything. Make sense we only had two legit shooters playing.
In the 4th the trend was broken by Cojo hitting back to back open 3s. Just like we were getting all game.
Why are you always trying to make this a Deebo vs JV thing. It really has nothing to do with that.
