![]() BC had blinders to all of his draft picks.... and he just falls in love with his guys so he's always trying to trade low for low, never looking to sell high. There are some prime opportunities to cash in some mediocre assets right now, TL has a prime opportunity to cash in on unwarranted hype bestowed on role players.

![]() Toronto fans love that type of deal.... only trade the guys we don't want because everybody else must want them! There are major flaws with this team, hoping to see some major correcting. Less jumpshooting.... for all players, even the ones that have green lights.

![]() That's just dumb. There's no reason in that. We can trade some of our assets for other assets that will improve the team. Maybe our asset that's wrong for us, is the right fit for another team and vice versa. As long as the incoming player/players enhance the pieces we want to keep, we can end up further ahead.

![]() Um, I think he's actually referring to demar though, maybe gay. Bargain is already on the trading block, I don't think anybody wants him here still. Either way, I'm glad TL seems to be willing to go the rebuilding route, we do have a golden opportunity here with a potential stud in JV that is locked for 4 years, time enough to bring a few more good rookies .

![]() Ugh. I really don't want to blow it up. No, I don't think we're one piece away from competing for the conference finals or shit like that. I think we are probably a .500 team with the current roster and can make the playoffs if we used the MLE wisely and moved Bargnani for a contributing piece (not even necessarily a good one, just a useful contributor).
I was hoping we could make the playoffs the next two years, even if by just a slim margin, and get JV some good experiences. Then evaluate whether or not to keep Demar/Rudy/Lowry at the end of those 2 years. It feels like we're constantly retooling and missing the playoffs. Lets keep a fucking core for once and see what the ceiling is. |

As for Bargnani, I still think he has more value on the team versus what we get in a trade. His value is at an all-time low, so why should we just trade him? I would honestly get someone in the organization to have a one-to-one discussion with him. The relationship with the organization has been strained with the fans and management ripping on him- and a lot of the criticism is deserved. The Raptors organization needs to tell him that his effort is unacceptable, as we have already seen how he plays when he is trying. If we can get Bargnani to play at least on a respectable level, he is the missing piece that this team needs for a playoff run. Then we can decide whether to trade him or not. But I guarantee that if we trade him for what he is worth right now, the Raptors will regret it for some time. |

The obvious solution which I think TL alludes to, is to break the core and start over. |
