Raptors Fan Here 

Post#1 » by stanley14 » Mon Dec 30, 2013 6:20 am

I was wondering what you guys would think of this trade.

Spurs Get: Kyle Lowry, Steve Novak, Austin Daye.

Raptors Get: Corey Joseph, Aron Baynes, Nando De Colo, Matt Bonner, Lotto Protected 2015 1st Round Pick.

This would help you go all out in a year that could be Tim Duncan's last and could help us out with our attempt to tank as we trade other veterans away.

What do you guys think?

Meh.

None of those guys are helping us win a title. We had Novak on this team before anyways.

Plus I can't give up Red Mamba.

It's fair value wise but why do we need Lowry? Mills has done a great job of backing up Parker so far.

It looks like a trade just to make a trade. The franchise is pretty high on Baynes also. I doubt they would trade him for all three of those guys.

Timmy has said many times he is playing out his contract which ends after next year so barring a major injury, this isn't his last season.

I wouldn't mind a trade like this though:

If we don't consider what players are on the Spurs roster, then yes I'd do that trade. It's a win, talentwise.

But I agree that it's a move that makes no sense at all. There's no reason to do it. It's not like we need an upgrade at PG. However, if we could add a third team to take Lowry and brings us a better big man than Ayres, maybe that's better.

Trading for Lowry basically means it's a one year rental. He's a FA this summer. Novak is ****. I wouldn't give up Corey and a first rounder for a one year rental of Lowry.
