Is BC done ? I guess so..... 14 guarenteed contracts? - Message Board Basketball Forum

Jballer · 07-30-2009, 12:06 PM

I count 13 guarenteed contracts on the roster.

( Quincy seems to be guarenteed for 1 season 2009-10)

( Not postive about Patrick O'B - is his guarenteed? )

We know the max is 15

We know the min is 14

We think most teams will carry 14 due to economic pressures

I have seen a lot of opinion suggestions about Banks/Doubly/O'Bryant but realistically I dont think those contracts are moveable anywhere this year.

I guess Pops and Delfino are out.

I'm pretty sure that O'Bryant is Guaranteed and that Douby's is not.

Yup I think your right. Douby is under contract not POB. We can dump POB and retain POP's.

brwnman · 07-30-2009, 01:31 PM

min. is 13 i believe.

And we have 14 players on the roster at the moment. Still got room for one of Delfino or Pops...

I thought Douby and O'Bryant were both guaranteed now? Didn't they have to be released before July 1st or something?

Dr. Hoopenstein · 07-30-2009, 05:14 PM

POB & Douby's contracts are guaranteed at around $888,000 each. I hope BC can dump POB on someone or buy him out. Douby is a keeper unless traded he has passed Ukic on the depth chart.

I would like Pop's back for his energy in practice/bench, another reserve big man for practice & in case of injuries signed for vet min (LWright, BSkinner, JaCollins, JarCollins), I could live w/ Banks as the 3rd PG as long as Ukic is moved. Plus BC needs to sign an athletic sf to back up Turk(not JGraham) as some teams will cut loose a few quality players in cost saving moves via waivers.

Btw- Douby is a keeper especially over Ukic.

Toni · 07-30-2009, 08:40 PM

Douby's pretty dirty for his size and salary.

TMAC-RAPTORS · 07-30-2009, 08:47 PM

Roko has a bigger window then Douby but Douby is better right now.

Jballer · 07-31-2009, 01:06 PM

Doug Smith says BC still looking to sign one more in the wings 2 or 3.

Slight change - put your name down

I thinks its done. i.e.BC is done.

- No Delfino
- No trades
- We go into the season as stands July 31.
- We carry 14

rosonviyavong · 07-31-2009, 01:22 PM

We have such a deep team ...

Dr.Funk · 07-31-2009, 01:30 PM

A little more depth at SF wouldn't be a bad thing.

Right now all we have behind Turkoglu at SF is DeRozan.

Szczerbiak or Udoka could be cheap targets.

b4ball · 07-31-2009, 03:06 PM

BC has said a couple of times that Roko was not part of the Raptors future. I expect BC to move at some point before the season begins for another 3.

I'm not saying I want to see that happen, just what BC has said.

How about Ukic & POB to Sac for D Greene. It works in the ESPN trade checker. Since I see TEvans as more of a two guard in the NBA and Sac has Udrih, Rodriguez(PO trade) at the point currently & could use a big body behind Hawes & another ball handler w/ NBA experience. Also, Linton Johnson who was just released by Chicago, is a solid young sf. The waiver wire should be coming alive in the near future w/ quality players let go for various of reasons. Pops is coming back- just a matter of time(roster moves)!

No to Wally & Udoka.

Like you, I don't think Evans can cut it as a full time point guard but I think that is what Sac is going for with Martin entrenched at the 2. They most likely will not waste a roster spot just to obtain another 3 string calibre PG.

The Raps also have already sampled Johnson with no real results whatsoever. Udoka has at least meaningful NBA experience under his belt. I think Funk is right in highlighting him as a possible guy who goes for the minimum.
