I will be pissed if we take Waiters with 8. I rather take the chances on a Sully, Lamb, PJ3, Lillard, Marshall, Rivers etc.

IMO Ford's break down of our team is a little outdated:

Analysis: The Raptors are filled with a roster of mostly soft jump shooters. What they really need is a tough player who can get to the basket and get his own shot at the end of games. They need a true scorer. DeMar DeRozan might get there someday, but Waiters is there right now. The fact that Waiters can also play some point guard is a bonus. He could go anywhere from No. 6 to No. 15 on draft night.

I think their BPA is PJ3 tho, cos PJ3's been having really good workout...and pretty much are in need of rebounding and (last in the league in rebounding), but also have major concern for the health of Bogut...so they also have concern for Curry's long term health, so there could be another PG coming in, move Curry to SG and Kaly to SF ...so I can really see them getting PJ3 (flexible big) or Lillard (PG).

Why would the Warriors take Lamb when they have Klay Thompson?

Lamb's going in the teens.

You were dead right calling Val last year but Lamb is too skilled to go in the teens.

chadfordinsider Chad Ford
Raptors: Need someone who can get to basket … Waiters, Lamb, Ross, Lillard seem to be the targets

I wouldn't be upset with any of these players. solid potential on all of them

Guys... the brass and our coach has stated the desire to win now. We have a top rookie coming in. Jonas Valanciunas would likely go 2nd after what he's shown this past season combined with the assurance that he'll be in the NBA this upcoming season. We know we have a top rookie... we need to add some real talent around him, Bargs, and DeRozan... the pick will be dealt on draft night, mark my words.

Gay, Iggy, Lowry, J Smooth, or Granger will be Raptor. We will trade the pick... book it.

Raps need perimeter shooting not someone who can get to the basket

Garmfay · Post #692 » by **Garmfay** » Thu May 31, 2012 2:20 am

Looks like Rudy Gay might be a Raptor. There is no way we keep the pick now. BC's job is on the line. I will rage if its for some over the hill guy

Ryan Wolstat ‏@WolstatSun
It's early, but my first mock draft has Lamb and the Raptors even though I know some in org have concerns about his motor

Ryan Wolstat ‏@WolstatSun
Barring a trade I think Lamb, Lillard and maybe even Waiters will be likely targets (assuming nobody drops)

TheDunc · Post #694 » by **TheDunc** » Thu May 31, 2012 2:24 am

Im really ancious to see the combine measurments. If Waiters tests out to be a very good athlete and at least 6'4 then he might be my pick at 8 if no one drops. But i have alot of question marks on athletism. Im wondering how athletic MKG,Barnes, Beal, P.Jones are.

JunkYardSubs · Post #695 » by **JunkYardSubs** » Thu May 31, 2012 2:26 am

So its Lamb, Lillard or trade.

Ill be happy with the first two

Post #696 » by **DG88** » Thu May 31, 2012 2:28 am

Lamb is what most people want on this board and I'd take him if he's the BPA, but the only other team ahead of us that could take Lamb is Portland. They lost Roy and have a big void at SG, would not surprise me if they take him.

I agree. Definitely think the pick will be dealt.

TheDunc · Post #698 » by **TheDunc** » Thu May 31, 2012 2:32 am

If its possible to get Rudy Gay then by all means trade the pick and anybody but Derozan and JV. I doubt Memphis would accept though. I dont think the raps should trade but the pick but if they can get somebody like Gay then you make the trade. Amnesty Jose and sign Nash or Dragic.

Lowry is a player i wouldnt mind the raptors trading for too. As long as it doesnt cost us our pick and DD or JV. Those are probably the only scenarios where i would trade the pick. Boston aint trading Rondo...

If that's the case we should just officially change our name to the Toronto Treadmills.

Lmao Lamb won't fall to the teens. No need to worry about that. He'll be a Raptor :wink:

Would you be happy if the Raptors drafted... (check all that apply)
