With a slew of league execs having converged on Chicago this week for the NBA's annual pre-draft camp, sources told ESPN.com that the Raptors have at least two known trade targets: Memphis swingman Rudy Gay and Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala. The Raptors, sources said, are prepared to part with their lottery pick in this month's draft at least partly because they have a lottery pick on the way. Lithuanian star Jonas Valanciunas, selected No. 5 overall by Toronto in the 2011 draft, is poised to join the Raptors next season after the young 7-footer quickly established himself as one of the most exciting big men in Europe. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/44989/sources-raptors-shopping-pick-for-forward
Re: Raps shopping #8, Calderon, Ed Davis package for established small forward TBH I think the #8 pick plus Ed Davis (decent PF prospect) and Jose's $10m expiring will be tempting to some teams. A starting lineup of Bayless, DeRozan, Gay/Iggy, Bargs, and JoVa seems like fun.
I prefer Gay to Iggy but i love this idea overall. Rumor has it that this is an attempt to lure Steve Nash or Lin or Dragic. Pick fall in love with the pick too much. Its not like we get a player of Gay's caliber at 8 anyways.
This trade is s must right now. I would take either or to be honest. Gay is great but Iggy still is a top tier SF. If we could get Nash or Lin...could be good things.
