But I also saw pundits suggesting that the Raptors could be a darkhorse for Lillard if he's on the move, with the #4 pick being a key asset. I think it's pretty clear that pundits don't know whether the Raptors are going to develop or try to contend, and are making moves that put them in one camp or the other, but Masai's pattern has always been to try and do both at once.

What's the feeling on dealing Fred? While he's not untradeable, what he brings to the table seems pretty big for the Raps. He's an above average PG to me. What would a trade look like if the Raps were to deal him? Wiggins? Then using the 4th to get Lillard? Would Lillard and Wiggins be the future of the team? To me, no and no. Wiggins has been better in two years, but I'd take a 4th and Fred over Wiggins and Lillard to build with into the future. Wiggins hasn't been a hard worker in his career, and Lillard isn't exactly young.
With his burgeoning rap career I'm also not sure he'd been keen of coming to Canada.
