We've got a few threads that touch on this but maybe it will help to have a dedicated one (for targets not named Air Canada). There have been many names thrown out. Vince, Joe, Marco, Ersan etc. Monroe has already been bought out and snatched up. The deadline for being bought out is less than 3 weeks away. Who do you want? Who do we not want our competitors getting? Let the other (and relatively new for us) games begin.

Just a reminder that Masai is the best..
Ujiri says he has no doubt he can sell buyout guys on coming to Toronto. "There's no issue there. Zero... Whether it's winning situation, culture, city, blah blah blah, it's getting warmer. Yeah, for the buyout guys it's getting warmer!"

Guys I'd like us to take a chance on are Carter (more for his actual contributions and not for sentimental reasons) Bellinelli, or Johnson, probably in that order. Johnson still has some skill but I don't see him meshing with our style of play as much as the other two.
Guy I'm most worried about our opposition getting is Brook Lopez to Cleveland, as I think he fixes a lot of major holes for them. But not sure if LA buys him out... there's been rumours both ways. I assume Cleveland and LA would have had that discussion during their trade talks. Not at all worried about Cleveland picking up Perkins.
Seriously, though, this is one of the worst parts of the NBA salary/roster system, and needs to be fixed during the next CBA discussions.

One other name I see being floated today about potentially coming back to the NBA is Boris Diaw. No idea if he can even play anymore but might be an interesting front court pick up if all the Raps are looking to do is add depth.

Want no part of Joe Johnson. I'd put my list of interest as VC, Ilyasova, Beli, probably in that order. Will have to see if there are any other surprise entries to the field.
