In summer of '09, Q-Rich went from NYK to MEM to LAC to MIN to MIA.
Not quite in one week - but that's the closest thing to this scenario
I doubt it would be at a discount. That is such a small sample size too - Matthews game doesnt really rely on freak athleticism. I would be okay with taking the risk, maybe they'll try a short term prove it contract

Word I hear is that Wes Matthews (@wessywes2) is ahead of schedule on his Achilles rehab and drawing interest from Toronto as well as Dallas
Blazers north, lets go Masai!
Other moves would clearly have to be made because there isn't enough salary to go around. Hopefully a demar trade
Very much so. Previously we had no control over how much time our prospects would get and how they would be used, what they focused on etc.
Can control all of that now - could be a wonderful development tool if used correctly
Rick Bonnell (covers the Bobcats):Team to watch regarding Bismack Biyombo's unrestricted free agency: Toronto Raptors.
I would be happy with him as our backup 5
I haven't studied the Raptors play calling enough to know if this actually works but it sounds right given what I remember. Read it on realgm:
"He and Derozan are actually perfect for each other out of the staggered screens/horns sets the Raptors have liked to run in the past. Undefeated could probably talk more about this but the threat of Derozan's drives would set up more clean looks for LMA and LMA's shooting would allow Derozan to drive out of the horn with even more regularity and find other shooters. A proper 3 and D SF who was super efficient would be nice."
Now, that said, I would want to move Demar anyway because he is going to demand 20+ million on his new deal.
Ya,that would literally be perfect.
Side note: Al-Farouq Aminu is scheduled to visit with New York, Boston, Portland, Toronto and New Orleans in the coming weeks.

He would be an awesome bench piece
Good thing I have hit the soft part of my schedule at this exact stretch. My offense has gone cold, back to back weeks under .700 OPS while still getting double digit wins
I think they will have some, depending on what the teams are offering them though...Apparently there are a few teams in on him. Im expecting theyll be looking for a solid contributor + high pick
I'm assuming he was still there because he has limited height, 4 year player and his jumper is a work in progress.
All that said, I love this pick and the more I read is the more I love it.
This should quite the interesting night with all the rumors floating around. Hearing Raptors are trying to get in back half of the lottery. Who do y'all want if that comes about?
