The Raptors aren't getting the first pick...it's just not in the cards for us in such a strong draft.

Wow this far into the season and someone is still voting Drummond over Davis.
I'll vote Barnes but if we get that no.1 pick, you HAVE to take Davis.

Why do you have to take Davis? His defense is unreal but what can we actually get from Bargs to make this pick actually worth something?

You have to take davis because he is the best player in the draft with the most upside by a mile.

I take Davis no.1 because out of every player in this draft class he has a chance to become the best player at his position in the NBA in his prime. It's that simple. There isn't another player in this draft that I can say that about.

How is Anthony Davis going to help us with our PF situation and Val coming in next year?

Look, everyone knows that if Toronto gets the #1, then A. Davis is the guy. No question.
I'm voting based on where I think Toronto will end up, which is why I went with MKG. I still don't get the Lamb love... I just don't see it.

Trade everyone not named Anthony Davis and Jonas V, and rebuild around those two - thats how

Haha, all of what Marvin said - Lamb doesn't deserve the hype...and Davis is that good that you draft him then work out what to do later.
If we don't land the first pick, Barnes or Gilchrist would be like a dream come true - other than that I'm not sure...I've gotten really cold on Perry too...

I think Beal is ahead of him now. Barnes, Beal or MKG, then Lamb... If we end of with one of those 4, I'll be damn happy

I think we would keep all 3 get rid of Davis and Amir both.
Bargs is needed for his scoring and I think Davis could see time at SF he has the foot speed and defense his offense is still raw. Think of a front court Davis 6ft10, Val 7ft and Bargs 7ft all mobile.
Hopefully getting some value for both at least a 20 plus draft pick for Davis.
The other obvious deal is trading him and getting something like Barne/MKG and Beal that would be tempting?
I would still move one of Amir, Davis or possibly DD
.
If we got him I'm sure BC would look at the best possible scenario for the team.

Keep all three until someone blows your socks off with an offer for one of them. Preferably, Val doesn't get traded though since he's the only one who's a Center. Either AB or Davis would have to be dealt, and the preferable choice between the two of them to trade would be AB for me. Sure, he's the perfect compliment to both Davis and Val, but moving forward with that defense in the front court powered by Davis and Val is too intriguing, that's a championship front line on paper.
