JV fights hard but he doesn't have the body mass. The guys I want are 250lbs+ and solid. Last edited by TORaptor4Ever; 12-29-2013 at 10:00 PM. |

![]() Fair enough but JV is a solid 240 to 250 and 21. Another year or 2 and he'll probably be around 260 and I would think that would be tops without effecting his game. I see what your saying though but that size comes at a cost and that's typically speed. Maybe a match-up type player off the bench - what Miami is trying to do with Oden?

Honestly, the best defence against Randolph and Howard is quick defences with smart coaching behind them. With Randolph, quick double teams which disable him going to his left, and with Howard, if you double him early he tends to float the rest of the game, plus you get him in as many pick and rolls as possible to tire him from going to the offensive glass on the other end, and working hard for position. JV can handle Drummond, and I think when he gets enough experience he'd do fine against DH. I think Amir can do a good job on Randolph if we had a solid team defensive plan around him. The worst thing we could do is play a big prodding center over any of those 3 guys IMO. We'd take away our quickness and talent advantage, assuming we ever acquired Young. |

Sometimes you just need to be able to matchup with the other team. And I don't want to see our willowy bigs get smashed down low the way that Bosh used to for years when he was trying to guard Cs. |

Plus, I see Val playing 35 minutes per game next season onward for many years to come, so I don't see big centers being an issue as long as Val keeps progressing as he is. I think we're much better off with two capable long 6'10 power forwards coming in off of the bench rather than one, with a 7 foot center who cant produce(a la Gray). There aren't a lot of 7 foot backup centers that fit your criteria anyway who can actually give you 15-20 good minutes on a consistent basis. If I'm Masai, I'm looking to sign Ed Davis in the off season as a backup center, and backup 4. He'd look great in our current defensive system, and he's already got great chemistry with Amir. Bring back Ed! |

![]() Patterson has also been productive for as well though. But I would like to see if we can move Hansborough at the deadline for a future second rounder or something. A contendor could really use him if they are short a big. Then Sign Ed in the summer and if possible get patterson on a team friendly contract.
JV/Ed Amir/Ed/Patterson Would be a a front court I would be pretty happy with going into next year. I think our next need is a backup 2/3. I think Chandler would be a really good fit for this team. |

Another guy who would have fit my mold would have been Robin Lopez. Shame we couldn't have grabbed him. Brand, Blair and Mozgov would also fit the bill. To be clear though I wouldn't mind Ed back at all. Good kid with some skills and another guy who doesn't have a prob. buying into the team concept. |

Ed would be nice, but you gotta wonder if he caught feelings. Or if we even end up with enough money to sign him? Would he take the MLE? |

![]() just thought I'll throw this out there, we're still only 5 games away from 4th place from the bottom
![]() for all the improved play, the next stretch of 6-8 games could be the critical point of the season. Schedule is not very tough, but we're playing direct playoff competition and we need to tcb. If we don't, tanking still remains very much in the cards. |

![]() After looking at the upcoming schedule I think Raptors best case scenario would be winning 17 of 22, worst 10 of 22, but most likely it will be like -13-14 wins , and it would bring Toronto record to 30 and 25.
