Raptors in talk with 3 teams & Bosh update

[bboyskinnylegs]

Thanks for the info.
Oh man... I'd feel so sad for old rem if we get Randolph. It doesn't make much sense for GS, since Randolph has a team option after next year, effectively making him a ridiculously good expiring. If we're talking to GS, we better be inquiring about Ellis, I think he's one of the only guys that we can realistically target to give us a chance to keep Bosh, but not end up totally screwed if he bolts (the other would be Nash, but I doubt we could get him).

With regards to Sac, no way I'd want to include our pick for Sammy, unless we can get a decent 1st rounder for Jack or something.

Chicago just dealt their pick for Hinrich it seems, not sure what Minny is looking for, but #16+Pekovic or #16+#23 would be awesome.

I don't believe in most or all of this but lets' engage in some idle speculation.

1. Jack for expiring contract + 10th pick
2. Hedo + 10th pick to Sac for Dalembert
3. Our expirings + 13 for Al Jeff + 16
4. Draft Bradley at 16
5. Sign & Trade Bosh wherever for TPE + draft pick
6. Trade TPE + draft pick + Bradley + Derozan/Weems for Paul + Okafor.

A friend from MLSE who not only knows who BC is talking to but why each negotiation broke off ... Magic 8 Ball says: "Try again"

[TGM]

Getting Randolph, would be like getting a top 5 pick in this draft.

The guy with starting minutes and a better coach is a 20-10-2/3 guy.

If I'm BC I'm try to swing a Banks, Evans, Derozan and 13th for Ellis and Randolph.

Randolph is one of the few young bigs that I think is actually better than Bosh.

[teamLeiweke]

If Bosh for Bynum isnt happening, then Im down for Hedo for Dalembert.

[Reignman]

Indiana pushing to get Jack back? I don't buy it.

This.

Nothing really much more to it.

Why wouldn't they want him back, it's not like they wanted to let him go in the first place. Indy was right at the tax and couldn't afford him.

Indy got caught in a numbers game and with TJ and Tinsley still on their books at big $$$ they just couldn't keep him.

[Kabookalu]

A lot of this stuff is hard to believe, but then it also sounds like it's hard to make up. I would do Sammy for Hedo but not with the pick included.

That wa my first thought as well. It is possible, as they have soured on their current pg's, but they knew what he brought to the table when they had him. Why would they want him back?

An interesting read and all suggestions are plausible, but I want something concrete. Thank you, regardless, OP for bringing interest to a very dry day.

You mean one of the few young bigs that you think has a chance to be better than Bosh DOWN THE ROAD...right?

I believe your right.....Indy wanted to keep Jack but the numbers just didn't work so they couldn't match.

[s e n s i]

So, for your friend to call you up immediately with this type of unobtainable information, he has to be either someone high up on the MLSE pyramid, one of BC's scouting henchmen, one of the coaches, or BC's personal assistant.

Sure.

[Realist]

Hedo + 13th to Sac for Dalembert?



That's dreadful.

[BrickHeads]

Why would Indiana want our PGs? I don't get it. They let Jack walk & all of a sudden now he's worth the contract and a pick? TJ and Jose didn't work the first time so what makes the 2nd time any better?

I call BS.

[pharring]

Why not? They didn't match last year as they already had TJ and Earl Watson... hadn't bought out Tinsley yet... had just signed away Dantay Jones... and had drafted AJ Price.

Now Watson and Tinsely are gone, Ford's an out-of-favour expiring, and Bird had nothing but good remarks for Jack as he took the Raptors money.

They could do worse...

It's just hard to sell to the fans.

[Blasphemy]

ca'mon BC make a F'n MOVE!

[Spragga]

I would take Anthony over everyone in this draft minus the consensus 4. If bc can get him that will be good. Just gonna need a better coach to motivate him.

yea i LOL'd at that part

[NH]

..meh nothing too interesting.. why Randolph unless he can play C? I thought Bargs was going to slide over.. please don't let Bargs play C next season.. I am doing Mo Williams and on both knees now..

[disc0]

taken with a grain of salt, but definitely interesting if any part is true.

Impact player? Baby A.I.

get 'er done B.C.
