john lucas would be a good backup PG if TJ/jose were to leave.
- BehzadAny names worth noting here?
- NeilWow, Marcus Haislip? Wasn’t he a lottery pick a few years back? Interesting to see the mix of center, power forwards and combo guards/forwards the Raptors are targeting. Dahntay Jones would be a good pickup, they need somebody who has his defensive intensity.
- BrianHey, is that THE Rod Benson (from the Ball Don’t Lie blog) in that list?
