So we like:
Curry, Holiday, Johnson, Flynn, DeRozan and Henderson.
A top 6 guy wants us to move up and get him (Harden, Evans, Rubio) probable.

There are like 10 trade rumors each day.

This is madness! I can't wait for the draft tomorrow!

hah agreed picken..draft can't come soon enough

DeRozen makes too much sense.

only 3 days ago I was almost completely certain we we're going to be picking Derozan

now I honestly have no clue. I'm leaning towards Johnson for obvious reasons, but I definitely wouldn't put money on it

At least the entertainment value of draft night is back

I'm hoping we take Terrence Williams... he puts us in a much better position to compete next year, and with the Lakers wanting to move their 29th pick and needing money to re-sign their free agents we should buy their pick, then draft Marcus Thornton who is an absolute beastly scorer.

I can't wait for when David Stern announces "...with the 9th pick in the 2009 NBA draft, the Toronto Raptors select... [--] out of [--] ."

The anticipation is killllllllllllllllllling me.

Personally I'd go for brandon jenniings. yea its out of the blue but this guy probably has the most upside of any of the players.

I think hes a Monta ellis clone pre injury in that after one year the raptors will have good dividends.

I think we should swap picks with GSW.
With the first four picks of the draft looking like Griffin-Thabeet-Rubio-Flynn,
one of Evans, Harden and Curry will definitely be available at #7.
It sounds like GSW wants Hill, and he should be available at #9.

True, but I don't think BC wants to pay a higher salary for the pick.

I think we're trading the pick for help now.

dennistokyo · Post #395 » by **dennistokyo** » Thu Jun 25, 2009 11:53 am

Please let it be Henderson. Perimeter defense would make a huge difference next season.

If thats what you want then you should take the best perimeter defender, rebounder and steal guys

Terrence Williams

I would be a horrible GM...Now I want us to trade Calderon for Rubio, and I want DeRozan, Johnson and Williams on our team

Gruel · Post #399 » by **Gruel** » Thu Jun 25, 2009 2:18 pm

It'll be the biggest buzz kill if Harden or Evans are available at 8 and the Knicks snag them.

Or if they are both available at 9 and we pick James Johnson :lol:

Who will the Raptors select with the 9th overall pick?
