One player away 

Post#1 » by dkb33 » Thu Jul 24, 2014 5:13 pm

I have heard from fans and analysts that the Raptors are one player away from having a realistic shot at winning the east. If some of you agree with this I was wondering what caliber of player you feel this team would need to be? Obviously a James or Durant would make us true contenders for a championship but what type of talent would we need to contend for the east?

We're one player away from being one player away.

Rudy Gay. He'd be a perfect SF.

Carmelo Anthony. Let's offer Derozan + Amir for Carmelo and see if Dolan bites.
#Raptors are 7-1. In 6 of the past 10 seasons, a team that has started a season 7-1 has gone on to win an NBA championship.

I think this sounds about right. A player like Millsap would make us legit contenders to come out of the east.
