This might be the dumbest thing I have ever read on this board.
Did Elton Brand take over GM duties for the Raptors?

All are expirings.
I've had my eye on Dieng for a while. The Raptors' advantage the last two years has been centres who can shoot the 3. Everyone out there. Dieng can actually do that. And Memphis have plenty of young bigs they're trying to develop, including JV of course. So Dieng should be cheap, but it would cost us Norm just because of the huge (17 mill) salary. That's not ideal. I wonder if Masai can get a draft pick coming back too? But beggars can't be choosers.
Aldridge doesn't feel right. I don't see him fitting into our offence.

Try to trade S Johnson to a team with a little cap and a future second. Give the rest to RHJ as he can give you SF and PF mins.

Baynes 3 point shooting fits our team system. We need 5 shooters on the floor and need to take 3s. The center position is open to 3s more than any other position. Baynes is a starter for this reason. The other guys you mentioned are bench players. Cousins is done.

Can't really disagree with most of what you have said. Basically sifting through the crap at this point.
Dont entirely agree on cousins though... 2 years removed from Achilles injury ...year plus removed from ACL injury so should be physically able to get on a court. Biggest thing for him will be all the rust from not playing much over last couple years but not positive hes "done".
Plus he's going to be on his best behavior to prove himself. Once again low risk high reward move. Lowry spoon feeding him up top 3's and mid range Jays ala serg could be a career resurrecter for this guy. If there's a few things he can still probably do its shoot and rebound.

You'll need facts to back that one up....
