So here we could do the opposite of the Bargnani Trade idea Thread! Post trade ideas that would not include Andrea, so the Raptors are building their team around him and other core players! I'm not against or for the fact of trading or not trading him, it's just that we have nothing to talk about in these times of lockout. So let's start with some ideas that are behind my head since a couple of days...
It is constructed around trading Amir Johnson and Jose Calderon for an additional 1st round draft pick in the 2012 NBA draft, so we could get a SF (Harrison Barnes?) and a PG (Canadian PG Myck Kabongo?). Here's what the team could look like in 2012, listing only the already signed players + Ajinça and Barbosa, assuming they are coming back:
C: Valanciunas, Alabi, Ajinça
PF: Bargnani, Davis
SF: Barnes, Kleiza, Johnson
SG: DeRozan, Barbosa
PG: Bayless, Kabongo
I would add a shooter like Eddie House, a guy who can lock down on D (Sonny has the potential to do so i'm sure of it) and a bench player at the 4 (Brian Cook?).
Then just take a look at 2013 (it's far away, but do you really have something else to do?)
If it goes well with Jo-V and Bargs inside and Kabongo is the next Rajon Rondo like they say on nbadraft.net, we could trade Bayless and Davis, because those players won't accept to be subs (I understand them, in a way). Take a moment to imagine what we could get from those 2!!! I can tell you, with this trade, Raptors future looks BRIGHT!
