That is exactly why a sign and trade would happen. If the teams were under the cap, they would just sign him outright. A sign and trade allows them to get James and use their MLE elsewhere. Also a sign and trade allows them to offer a higher salary than their competitors, seeing as the MLE is the max any team chasing him could offer without doing a sign and trade.

I think that a back up 5 is not that important. If Rasho plays 25 minutes per game and a back up gives you 10, that leaves 13 minutes per game to go with a "small" line up....Ford, Mo, Parker, Bargnani, and Bosh.

I think if Woods is givin those consistant 10 mpg he will be fine....great length and solid enough on the boards for limitd minutes.

I do have a question about Parker's shooting....does he have 3 point range and is it consistant? Ihave seen some great slashing and midrange from him, but can't remember him bombing from outside.

Sure, why not?

Woods never played last year but when he did he was better then Hoffa and Sow.

Yes but if we only have 5 million in cap room we can't sign him for anymore than that. The projected numbers for him are higher. My point being that we don't have the cap room to complete a sign and trade.

backup center is next.

as usual i agree with speeds.

Do we need nything more than Woods? I am not sure that there will be minutes for a proven back-up.

I was under the impression that Bargnani was going to be coming off the bench at the centre spot. Rasho 20-25, Mago 20-25.
We could use a 3rd string centre though. Anyone got Loren's number? At least he's a good dancer.

Backup Center? please we dont need that, the next thing BC will adress is getting a combo guard that he greatly covets.

insert = Eddie House

Benis007

meh, i have given up on Woods. i would rather sign another younger scrub to play some minutes. with mago's apparent lack of rebounding ability i would like to get a big body on the bench that is going to be good in limited minutes.

hopefully bryan c can find this offseason's Diop.

ok we're set.
backup C is what we want most, but i think we're a playoff team with this roster

PG: Ford | Calderon (becoming highly underrated)
SG: Parker | Graham | Tucker
SF: Mo Pete | Garbajosa | Tucker
PF: Bosh | Bargnani
C: Rasho | Humphries | Bargnani

No way Graham can play the 2 consistantly yet, he's still too much a 3.
Humphries is a 4 in the Ryan Gomes mould (small size, but strong)

And you'll need SOMEONE to backup the 5 with experience, so Woods is an easy option with a big body (with Sow out, anyway)

And I thought you CAN resign James to more than your cap, because you'd be REsigning him..
or doesn't Toronto have those rights with him?

pmac34

I think we have anough guys that can play enough positions that we're set in every position comfortably.

ok would like Fred Jones but for no more than 3.5 mill
Eddie House I can live with for about 1.5-2.5 mill 2 year 5 mill

Sign Woods for the vet min to be the 3rd C behing Ammo

I really hope Parker is good and I hope Graham really pushes him and when november come Graham's game is more polished and he can play 25 MPG and avg:
11/6/1/.5 PPG/RPG/APG/SPG

I agree Graham can't play the 2 consistently I see aprox 17 MPG at SF & 8 MPG at SG

Wait one question though....is Garbajosa officially signed or is it just speculation?
