Dealing Jose is’nt smart at all it’s gonna be a another Marbury-Kidd mistake. Keep Jose trade TJ,Parker,Baston,Rasho for a star.Primoz has to be gone more time should be on Kris Hump and I would like getting Magloire I wanna see him finish his career in Toronto. GET JR SMITH and steven hunter for tj ford and _____ if iverson were to get dealt. I wanna see Mikael Peitrus Mike Miller Jose Smthi or JR smith in a raaps uni. Corey M is OLD!!!! i reather go after marion then. KEEP JOSE TRADE TJ. Jose overpowers tj in everything except for speed

Thanks for the draft comparisons. Kinda encouraging, actually, though the downside (Cabarkapa, Green, Welsh) is frightening.

I don’t think BC will draft another big. He believes in Bargnani and Bosh as part of the Raptors core, so don’t you think he’d more likely address the guard position?

I like the look of Russell Westbrook, a good defensive PG, to complement Jose. BC might have to move up the draft to get him, though.

Hey Dave,
You probably are correct in that I should be putting Gerald Green in the bust category, but I keep thinking some team will see his so called “potential” and pick him up this summer.
But man it doesn’t seem that long ago I was in New Orleans watching him finished second behind Howard in the dunk competition.

Jackson,

I’ve heard rumblings of a deal with the Knicks. Ford to New York for some combo of Jamal Crawford and another player. But if I’m the Raptors I don’t pursue that deal.

I’ve also heard Bargnani to New Jersey for Richard Jefferson, but again that’s just talk.

Some sort of deal with Sacramento to get that 12th pick is certainly possible.

But in the end I think the Raptors are going to try and fill the Center and SF position on draft day.
Rasho won’t last the full season in Toronto as his expiring contract will be moved in a trade I’m sure.

As a die hard Celtics fan… and someone who thought Gerald Green was a steal at 18 (some Mock Drafts had him going 3 to Portland)… I had to reply to his “rotation guy” label before I even finished reading the post.

Gerald isn’t just an electrifying dunker… he also has legit NBA 3 point range and can be a great offensive player. Unfortunately for Gerald, playing in the NBA forces you to know how to read, learn plays, and play defense. Gerald could do none of those things and after 2 years in Boston, was shipped to Minnesota. He still couldn’t get off the bench there and was shipped to his hometown Houston Rockets at the trade deadline. He lasted about 2 1/2 weeks there before he was cut and is officially out of the NBA at the age of 22.

Hmm… maybe he should have gone to college afterall… Put him in the “BUST” category… back to reading the post.

Nice Blog Kurtis, the only guy i’d get outta here would be Green but i doubt he’ll slip that far. Picks 15-20 are all projects. Roberts i keep hearing his name but the skinny on him is he’s skinny http://www.nbadraft.net/admincp/profiles/chrisdouglas-roberts.html. I say trade up in the draft. Go for picks 12 n 13, The Blazers don’t really need that pick 13 there team is solid but they need a proven PG. I hear they might be interested in only Calderon, a trade for Calderon n the 17 pick for Jack n Outlaw n the 12 pick might work. Jack being a nice back up pg n Bosh’s old teammate would be a nice fit. I’m Keeping my fingers crossed that they trade Ford to the Kings for beno udirth, garcia n miller n maybe even milk that pick, throw in rasho to even out the numbers n a joey graham the trade works out money wise, Miller is old n too expensive but he’s WAAAY better than Rasho. Garcia i can see him being a number 2 or 3 option on anyteam he’s just getting outplayed by Martin. A couple of rumors is that AI is on the market but i doubt that’ll happen and that the knicks are shopping jamaal crawford for tj, i’d only do that if they threw in Lee. What do you think?

If Chris Douglas Roberts is available when the Raps get to draft and they do not take him we will be as boneheaded as the Leafs.

If the Raptors get another white guy that can’t rebound and play defense and shoots a low percentage I will disown them.

Even though JaVale McGee needs to hit the gym I think he is the best bet for this draft. He is smart with the ball and has the ability to be an explosive rebounder, shot blocker and scorer.
