Rasho returning to the Raptors?

[LittleOzzy]

I didn't even think about that. With Rasho's son being born here in Canada, Leo better have already sent him a team Canada jersey.

I'd welcome him back but he could be of good use for the Pacers who lack a big.

I guess it would depend on who they draft?

I don't see it happening - too many big men. What would this do to Bargnani's PT?

And starting for your Toronto Raptors at Small Forward....

I don't believe this rumour. It makes no sense for Indiana.

*if* it somehow does happen, it means that Bargs is gone - which I would support fully if it brought back a scoring wing.

There are a few reasons why I think Indiana might do this:

- as it stands, their roster was at 15 with JO. The trade with us would put them at 17 (Minus JO, Plus TJ/Rasho/filler). On top of that, they now have the 11th and 17th picks in the draft, which will almost assuredly make their roster, putting them at 19. With the need to get to 15, they either need to make a many for one trade or two (this is where Bird being disgruntled with tinsley, shawne williams possibly comes in), buy out a contract or two to save some cash (rasho), or toss someone onto the waivers (Stephen Graham?). It's a possibility, but I doubt GM's worry about trimming their roster this early in the offseason.

- like people have mentioned in posts previous, this could have also been a way to pry the #17th pick out of BC's hands
