Yeah, the Raptors should be chasing superstars with any trades of their core. Anything else is shuffling deck chairs.

I disagree with your...

[DanH]

A player's value and trade value are two different things, and can vary wildly....

[DanH]

If anyone should be driving any hype train it should be whoever picked up that Boucher guy. Not slowing down just yet.

[DanH]

Also, totally going to sign Bruno to play backup C.

[DanH]

Hardest pass ever on Drummond....

[DanH]

TD and Powell and Baynes are my votes.

But I wouldn't bet on it.

[DanH]

I don't see why they wouldn't try Baynes off the bench. They tried the slower Len with the bench a good bit. Baynes could have some success there....

[DanH]

LOL you guys are hilarious, some of you already rooting for losses. They were always going to turn things around. They'll get above .500 by the end of...

[DanH]

Exactly. If they waive or trade him there is a negligible chance he returns to the team (which is about as definitely as things get in the real world)....

[DanH]

You think they will have Lowry on the team after waiving him?...

[DanH]

Yeah, this one was fun! Probably more interesting than it should have been, but that's been a trend this year.

Funny game. The teams were...

[DanH]

Hmm, possibly losing Lowry instead of definitely losing Lowry, why would anyone want that? Hmmmm......

[DanH]

Boucher making me feel good about that trade right out the gate.

[DanH]

The Philly deal is really easy to make work, if they are willing to give up the value (could add TD and any of Bembry, McCaw, Baynes, Len, Stan to fill...

[DanH]

I agree that the LA Clippers are an unlikely destination for Lowry.

But it's not that hard to put together 24M in tradeable salary to match....

[DanH]

Bringing back the weak link in those teams wasn't exactly the idea......

[DanH]

No? If no one is willing to trade for him, you tell him no one was willing to trade for him. Such is life, and you try to re-sign him long term.

Lowry... for Drummond...? Unless there is an absolute mountain of picks coming our way I'm not seeing the appeal....

[DanH]

Plus if we do get forced into trading Lowry later this season, Philly is a great candidate to extract value from and would be a feel good destination...

[DanH]

LOL of all the guys to start...

You know who else would be a consistent bench scorer if he came off the bench? Pascal Siakam. But it's dumb...
