With Price and Maxiel officially waived, that leaves us with...

Payton,Green
Dipo,Fournier,BG
Harris,Harkless
Gordon,Nicholson
Vuc,OQuinn

Strong possibilities
-Dedmon
-Marble
-Curry

I've got Fournier starting at PG, Payton as backup.

Dipo/Gordon
Harris/Harkless
I have no idea.
Vuc/Dedmon

It appears Henny is going to try and win this season with these types of signings.

Green isn't a PG. He's 3rd SG. Fournier & BG as the backup guards. And Dedmon will have a roster spot.

No doubt Dedmond is on the roster unless he looks like total crap in SL or get injured.

Agreed. Dedmond is in. Who knows what else the offseason holds, but if we go into the season with our current roster we may have one of the youngest rosters ever.

wonder if we are bracing to receive a salary dump from another team. We need another PG and maybe big man. 8mil or so until the salary floor. But I think there is a chance Nicholson could be on the way out. Not sure he adds anything to the team now. Going to turn 25 mid season and has yet to really improve. Doubt he sees the floor this year.

Patrick Patterson just signed with Toronto 3/18 mil.

I wouldn't be surprised if we did make an offer, but I bet the agent leaked an exaggerated amount to get the full 6 million per year out of Toronto.

Dodged a bullet there on Patterson. I feel so much better now.

Fournier/Payton
Oladipo/B. Gordon/Marble
Harris/Harkless
KOQ/Gordon
Vucevic/Dedmond

I'm torn on KOQ and Gordon, I just don't know how good Gordon is, I know what KOQ will bring. That's the roster spot I could see changing depending on how Gordon battles.

Anyone else feel comfortable with Fournier at the point to open the season? He seems to be a hybrid type of player. I could see him and Oladipo running the offense to begin the season. Oladipo at this point is the most experienced PG on our team with our offense, so he might be running the show a bit like he did last year, off and on, along with Fournier. They could switch assignments on offense/defense depending on matchups. I think we need to take a risk on Fournier and give him 30 mpg to see what he's got.

I love this for the Raptors. First they got Lowry back and now Masai got Patterson. Solid deals for each player as well.

At least we're done with the rumors now.

I would not shocked if we offered a 2 year 8mil per. But the second year a TO.
