What do you think about this Raptors trade?
It's rumored that it could happen tonight, and apparently the Raptors would be sending Salmons and the 59th overall pick to the Grizzlies for Tayshaun Prince and the 22nd overall pick; which would leave the Raptors with the 20th and 22nd pick respectfully. What do you think about that potential deal? I'd prefer Ariza over Prince, but either way.
I've been watching the Raptors for years, and although they need a good PF who can rebound and defend as that's always been an issue, I feel like a SF who can defend guys like Johnson, Lebron, Pierce, Carmelo, etc. would be good enough (at least until Ross becomes better). Now I haven't really heard of Tayshaun since his Piston days lol, but he is a veteran and supposedly a good defender which would be an upgrade over Ross. I also like the idea of Ross learning from Tayshaun, and coming off the bench to hit 3's when we need him. We'll also be getting the 22nd pick, and if the Raptors do end up taking say Tyler Ennis, than the next pick "should" be for a PF. I' am thinking Payne or Capela if they're still around by then.
If all goes well, the Raptors would have fixed three problems with their team. They'd have a SF who can defend, a PF who can get rebounds and defend, and they'll improve their bench even further. Assuming they resign Lowry, the starting lineup could look like Lowry, Derozan, Prince, Amir, and Jonas. The bench would be Vasquez, Ennis, Ross, Patterson, and Payne/ Capela/ Psycho T. That's a stacked team lol.
I should add that we would have two three point threats in Ross and Novak coming off the bench, with Fields and Hayes being guys you bring in for a defensive stop here and there. I honestly think a team like this (once again Ariza would be better, but wouldn't get the 22nd pick), could be a contender; in the East.

Well it didn't happen, but if that trade happened... it woulda been a nice one for the Raptors in my opinion.
