Best Players Available Via S&T?

Bucks in play?

I like the idea of a Noah package.. its been my favourite for a long time, but what about the Bucks? Do you think it would be farfetched to get Bogut and Ilyasova? Bogut is a solid back to basket scorer and pretty good defensive player and leader.

jlongs.. One of the issues that consistently pops up with Bosh is that he DOESNT kick the ball out when he's doubleteamed.

Bosh would have to want to go there. It's a small market and the main selling point would be playing will Brandon Jennings? Do you think that's enough? Oklahoma made my list and they're a small market but they're load with talent and have Kevin Durant. Durant came out in the last couple days and said he's going to do some heavy recruiting of free agents this summer. I'm sure he's going to call Bosh.

Your right the Bulls are high on Noah..but not as high as the Nuggets are with Nene. The reason..Nene is an excellent offenive center with well above average defensive skills.

Not really. We really only need him to match-up on opposing centres. As a help defender in the paint he is average at best.
Against good Eastern playoff teams' centres he is below average defensively and even worse offensively.

Head2Head against DH12:

Terrible against Shaq:

Decidely worse than Horford:

Though, suprisingly good against Bogut in limited minutes:

I think most of those sign and trade deals are pie in the sky dreams.

What will happen is that Chris Bosh will say to Colangelo: "I want to go to this team"

Colangelo will then enquire about that team particular players possibility of sign and trade only to be rebuffed and instead be forced to accept bloated contracts and low grade spare parts players, otherwise Bosh walks for nothing.

Damnit hot shot, way to ruin the pipe dream.....so your saying were not going to get the best ever haul from a sign a trade? My prediction is we get Taj Gibson and maybe a pick if he goes bulls.

My question, while arbitrary in hind sight is whether we would of have gotten more for him via S and T than we would have netted had traded him at the deadline. I would just like to know what the realistic offers were mid Feb.

The Raptors would get a large trade exception if they didn't take back big contracts.

That trade exception could be a valuable trade asset for the Raptors. More valuable than some of the high priced talent they'll be offered.

Aaron Williams, Eric Williams and Zo, I think.
