Raptors Trade Ideas Thread - Winter Edition

[Byronicle]

give us your first for next year (not the upcoming draft) and you can have them both!

this true. i figured it was still a high lottery pick but you might be right.

[gwrighter]

This might be something the Raps and Wiz would be interested in...

Hollinger's analysis pegs this as a win/win for both teams. Dunno how it works for Washington however.

wizards fan here. really love barg and jose. what kind of deal wpuld u guys want if we were in trade talk? with just those two...no other players

Bargs, Jose, Amir for Okafor, Ariza, Seraphin

You must take Amir too. It's a package deal.

It is easy and suggest in a public forum to bench a player, find an offensive coach, trade these player, plug holes, fetch water for everyone.

Reality check: the decision maker is Bryan Colangelo, 7 years on that chair and we are still talking of tanking. The whole body of work is a mess.

It is time. Although who am I to say fire the GM when I don't own the team. We post intellectual theories and ideas to better the team but they are absolutely worthless when the main man is still sitting and thinking only if...

[FutureGM]

I'm actually not that upset by the fact that we could lose our pick. If anything it gives us a fresh start the year after.

Trade Bargnani and Calderon. Fire Bryan Colangelo and tank hard next season.

so what do you suggest? come back in 5 years? pretend to be satisfied? of course nobody on here can do anything about this but so what?

Sign off until we get a new GM. .

yes, but having 3 top 5 picks in Jonas + this year + Next year could have set us up for an OKC type resurgence.

with that said even if the Raps do keep the pick this year, we will still have a chance at trading into the draft next year in hopes to land Wiggins dangling either Jonas or This years pick.

way closer to that than you can possibly know...

I would want Jonas to play with Wiggins so I don't know about that.

So what do we do? Create a tank thread/ Create a whine thread/ create a not to whine thread/ fire the coach thread/ trade players thread/ ?

We are going in circles every year, I think we as fans deserve a better product to watch. I am confident that new ownership will address the situation of their CEO.

I agree whole-heartedly, I'd rather give up Demar + this years pick for Wiggins than Jonas IMO but I'm open.

it's a forum. nobody holds a gun to anyone's head. if you go into a thread titled "fire Casey" you know what you are going to get. if you go into a thread titled "fire Colangelo" you know what you are going to get. if somebody wants to create a thread called "Colangelo appreciation thread" i won't get worked up over it because i will know immediately that thread is not for me.

so why does it bother you? why not stick to the other threads? if you wander into a thread with a clear title like "fire Colangelo" you've got no right to complain when people are talking about (drum roll please... ) firing Colangelo inside.

having said all that, the title of this thread is trade ideas so this is the last i will talk of this here.

Wow you are fired up, the passion is oozing. I can empathize Jamie .
