Lowe: Valanciunas/Calderon for Harden was discussed?

IMO, if Drummond had been drafted this deal was probably a no brainer. Lowry Harden Derozan Bargnani Drummond |
It was passed on by OKC for a reason...

This is the reason we should have drafted Drummond.... bigs are always valuable... legitimate seven footers with skill is what I mean by bigs though. I wouldn't trade JV for Harden, but I would have flipped Drummond for him simply for character reasons. I like Ross, but I would always take a better big over a decent wing prospect.

In complete hypotheticals...
If there's a chance of landing Harden, I'm not sure anyone's off the table, JV included. Preferably, as we didn't draft Drummond, JV wouldn't be included. Calderon, DeRozan, Ross/Davis, future picks for Harden? Is that not better than Martin/Lamb and picks? Just once I'd like to see us fleece someone in a deal. Okay, maybe the Lowry deal counts... so just twice... |
I think James Harden is slightly overrated, I wouldn't do that deal.

val and ibaka combo could be crazy down the road

Lowry, Harden would be one of the best back courts in the NBA imo. I could live with this lineup, then look to get a Center next summer (including Aldrich since he was a throw in w/Houston): Lowry/Lucas Harden/Ross Derozan/Anderson/Kleiza Bargnani/Davis/Acy Amir/Gray/Aldrich |
Edit: wrong section
On topic, i would have done it.. We have too many guys hitting their prime to wait for val. Potential all stars in lowry bargs and harden (demar maybe). But i can see harden walking after his 1 yr. |

meh.... I think OKC chose the right deal. Martin>Calderon and Val and Lamb are both unproven rookies with 0 NBA games between them.

I'm happier that deal didn't happen. Lowry and Valančiūnas are the only players I would be unhappy to see in pretty much any trade.

There is no friggin way we're going to trade Valanciunas. He is the true legitimate center player in last 10 years (or more) of Raptors history, who is capable of grabbing 10 rbs every single night. Think about our center players in the history... Magloire, Barg (as C), Rasho, Aruajo lol, etc. I think the very last Starting Center that grabbed 10+ rpg was Antonio Davis from 00-01 season.
Also, we even passed Drummond pick from this year's draft, to grant opportunities for Valanciunas.. So now, why would we ever trade away Valanciunas for Harden? |
^ Same, i really would like to keep Lowry, Val and Ross.
