If I'm Masai I'm looking into offering him for John Henson. Dont bother with Faried as it wont fix any problems that we have. What we need is a Derrick Favors, Al Jefferson type.
It works for both teams
OJ Mayo has regressed in every category since Leaving Dallas. I'm sure Lowry and Vazquez could get him going though.
OJ Mayo and John Henson for Landry Fields and Terrence Ross
throw in a Raps second rounder for good measure...even our future late first if you want.
Do that and you have this rotation
PG Kyle Lowry 35-40 mins
SG Demar Derozan 35 mins
SF James Johnson 30 mins
PF Amir Johnson 25 mins
C Jonas Valanciunas 30 mins
Bench
6 PG/SG Greivis Vazquez 25 mins
7 PG/SG Louis Williams 20 mins
8 C/PF John Henson 20 mins (run the floor with Patterson)
9 SG/SF OJ Mayo 20 mins
10 PF/SF Patrick Patterson 20 mins
11 PF Tyler Hansborough 10 mins
12 C/PF Chuck Hayes 5-10 mins
Provides the raptors even more leverage for when we negotiate with Amir in the offseason because Henson can play both. Plus dude is young with a high ceiling thats being wasted kinda how Ed Davis was in Memphis.OJ Mayo expires in 2016 as well. This is the only trade to be done.
John Henson
Get it done.
As for Ross, he isnt an SF in the first place. Lets not forget that he is an SG that we're forcing to play SF just so we can give our lottery pick minutes. Theres no reason rationally that he should be starting over Johnson at this point. He's not tall or strong enough to guard the SF's in our conference anyways. And he isnt crafty enough to drop points on them consistently either.
