think of the possibilities we could have if we sign and trade chris bosh, what can we get and who can we sign.
I think that the raptors are great this season, they have alot of young and athletic players (derozan/weems/wright/amir) These players still ahve potential to grow.
The major point in having a star palyer is to be a major contributor on the offensive end, as well as add heat on the defensive end.
Therefore, Bosh put up numbers on the offensive end, but it seems like the starting lineup for the raps doesnt even know how to spell the word defense.
I think, if we let bosh walk, or even better, S&T him for some good defensive minded starters, then build the team around bargnani's offense, then we will have players who can score, and many defensive minded players. And hopefully we can boot Turk or motivate him, or even boot calderon in the off season.
Booting calderon for a more defensive minded PG ( even Jack has problems on the defensive end) and Maybe get banks more minutes, He really is a gritty player and a good defender.
Now, above i stated the having bargs as a primary scorer would be good for the raps. This kinda funny seeing as i posted this in a topic that is somewhat meant to insult him. However the fact is, Rip88 posted that over a year ago, and somehow its been brought back. (and i cant believe that im writing so much right now, i am quite bored but im also hoping to stir up some activity between us canadians on these forums) Bargnani has develop greatly, one of his problems, is that he palys with Bosh. Bosh and Bargs are both PF's, neither is a true C, which is one of the reasons bargnani gets man handled inside the paint.
But in the end, he is a [B]Decent[/B] defender. He is quicker than most C's and many PF's. And I feel he is definetly and underrated player.
My proposal.
-Fire triano, get someone who knows how to motivate players (having turks 50 mil but sitting on the bench is doing us no good)
-Sign and trade Bosh for a real gritty C and some defensive minded players.
- sign weems, wright and johnson ( i believe 2 of them are expiring)
-hopefully have bargs develop over the offseason and have him play his post up game a bit more, i believe he's quick enough.
