Re: Hansbrough to Raptors on 2 year deal
Raptors fan here.. I'm hearing your ideas for a Camby/Green deal and I doubt it will happen. I really like Gerald Green but we have too many wings on our team anyway: Ross, DeRozan, Gay, Kleiza, Fields, Richardson, Novak. I'm just not sure Ujiri wants anymore wings.

Me, personally, I think he's one of those guys that "you hate to play against, but love to have on your team". So I come here asking, what should we expect? How's his impact on his teammates? Is he a "dirty" player?
As a starter he's a good 15-8 guy most nights. But if his energy can be unleashed and harnessed right, he's a potential 20-10 guy every night.
The key is that he's gotta play next to a true center. You watch him with Roy Hibbert and he was quite effective, but put him next to David West, Lou Amundson, etc. and he struggled a bit.

If you're seeing 20/10 production potentially out of TH, then maybe matching him up with Jonas Valanciunas could be a potent front court in the future. Could be a hell of a pick up for Masai Ujiri, essentially trading Andrea Bargnani for Hansborough, Novak +.

Wade is basically Ben Gordon without the 3-point shooting. Sure, he's been a pretty good defender this year, so that would upgrade, but I'd rather have Gordon because he's cheaper and can hit those threes

20/10 production out of Tyler? You realize how few guys in the league do this?
Given minutes Tyler will stuff the stat sheet against teams with soft, ineffective front courts. But, I've seen him be remarkably quiet the likes of Brandon Bass and Paul Milsap. He's a little like the neighborhood bully who runs into to someone his on size and isn't as tough. It's not like he backs down from anyone he just doesn't get as much done against other guys who bring a tough brand of ball back at him.
