BC in Talks for Banks For Carroll

[Doc]

I know for a fact Bryan’s trying to trade Marcus Banks and is working all his GM buddies to see if he can get something done. What he’s going to have to do, I would surmise knowing how money-conscious GMs think – is find some team that is willing to take on two years of Banks to get rid of three or four years of someone else.

 

And if you’re Bryan, unless the guy coming back makes less annually than Banks in the next two years, I think you have to resist the urge to pull of a deal. But – and this is a big ‘but’ – the fact that a handful of the current contracts expire after this season or next may allow Bryan to do just that.

 

If he can find a team willing to take two years and about $9.4 million of Banks, and take back, say, three years and $12 million of someone else, that’s the kind of trade he has to swing

hmm ya theres few teams that will want Banks. This wont be like Devean George for Belinelli, the Raps will probably be worse off if a deal goes down.

Banks has two years left around 5mill each. The raptors are trying to save some money.

Honestly, I would almost rather keep Banks and just ride out the two years left on his deal rather than take on four years of Carroll. I get that Carroll makes less money towards the end of his deal, but I don't know if I would pull the trigger to be honest.

ya really seems like a waste. IDK both will just sit on the bench anyway, why not Banks for 2 yrs instead of Carroll for 4

I'd say keep Banks here in T.O. If one of our PGs in Jack or Calderon goes down, we'll need the presence of another PG.
