Brendan Haywood

Do you think the Raptors should try to trade for him?? He's probably going to be dealt after having a second fight with Etan Thomas since he was on the team. He would be an improvement over Rasho, not to say that Rasho has been bad but hasnt been the best he could be yet. Just wondering what everyone thinks???

[Dr.Funk]

I happy with Rasho for 15 minutes a game. We have no need for Haywood.

I don't think they'd straight up trade Haywood for Rasho, but if they would do it without asking for another player or draft pick, then sure it'd be good.

willing to give up graham to do it?

[bokes15]

I don't think they really need Graham, so that wouldn't be a big problem.

[albertpujols]

Haywood has always had an attitude problem. I wouldn't take him. They woundn't trade for Rasho's large ass contract anyways if it's a 1-1 .

[bokes15]

I think that at this point, the Raptors have pretty much every position that they need and won't really be looking for anything unless by about January they have a similar record to what they have last year. But I think that in time, they'll gel as a team and become more consistent.

I would be willing to give up Graham for cap space/upwards draft move for next year) but not for Haywood. We don't need that Wiz. Now Etan Thomas is another story. But will we be able to get him. And which player would we be willing to give.

Nah, lets keep it as it is for now and think of Graham as trade bait for next year's draft.

Definitely Haywood is more mobile and atheltic and he has only had a fight with one guy. It's not like he's wrecking the locker room. He also is a bteer offensive player than Rasho. I would definitely do

Rasho & Graham

for Haywood and say a second rounder

[DoubleTech]

nah, i'd prefer to stay clear of this guy.

he's just a bad attitude and the raptors don't need anyone wrecking their growing chemistry. this is the 2nd time he's gotten into a fight with Etan Thomas and he got in a fight with kwame brown previously.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. I think Nestarovic has done a decent job. Doing what has been asked of him. Haywood sounds like he can be a hothead. I don't think he is any better offensively than Nestarovic.

You think Haywood is going to put the Raptors over the top and make them a better team. :rollingeyes:

I know it provides discussion when a player is released or it is looking like he is going to be traded and someone suggests the Raptors get that player.

They already have 9 new faces trying to get acclimated with each other and the other players. Why don't we give them at least half a season to play together.
