Raptors Considering Trading 8th Pick - GET IT DONE

Listening to a DX podcast with a Raptors dude and it sounds like the Raptors are looking to trade down, not completely out. I bet the do a deal with Houston.

We get the Raptors 8th pick in the draft also

Raptors were rumored to trade either Amir Johnson or Ed Davis. We take on Amir Johnson's contract (3 years left). Raptors have also been rumored to trade Calderon and Harris has more value and is younger.

Maybe give the Raptors the choice to swap with us next year if its needed (Golden State or keep there pick)

Sign Brandon Rush 5 Mil a year contract

Send Raja Bell homes but don't waive him unless he accepts half of his salary.

Calderon - Lillard(8th pick) - Watson
Rush - Burks
Hayward - Carroll
Millsap - Johnson
Favors - Kanter

Maybe I'm alone here, but I don't think that lineup looks any better than we would have prior to those suggested moves.
 
We'd still have those two players with our without the trade so I disagree.

Yeah, but if Jefferson is gone, more emphasis will be put on them and the team as a whole.

If Jefferson stays, we could be better, but he is just a difficult piece to integrate as part of a flowing offense. If Corbin can get that machine running, I agree we are better with Jefferson.
 
I think the more realistic trade would be sap to the blazers. Not sure what teams would want to take on an expiring contract unless we took a bad one back. Going to be interesting to see what the jazz end up doing if anything in the draft.
