Do you really want the Raptors to base their long-term roster decisions on how well they play with Bargnani? I'd rather hear that Casey's going to play whatever guys are showing dedication to his system. If Hayes is going to play good defense and rebound well -- as he's done for most of his career -- then I don't really care about his height. I sort of view him as Reggie Evans with better defense. He'd be a great mentor for Davis and Johnson. Once we've got Valanciunas and Davis together next year, he'd be a good guy for situational defense.
Does he end up here? Of the teams rumoured to be interested, I think Portland must be tempting, since it's his best shot to get minutes and play for a contender. Don't see him going to Minnesota; they've got too many big men and not enough minutes to go around. Toronto is probably the only team interested in him where he could realistically compete for a starting spot, at least this year.
