You play GM: Decide the fate of the Toronto Raptors offseason
Rodney Hood & Wilson Chandler
You decided to move forward with Rodney Hood and Wilson Chandler. You’re banking that Rodney Hood’s recent resurgence in Portland wasn’t a fluke and that he’s worth $9.7 million.
He has the highest ceiling of the available options, but the lowest floor. Hood was a 20 point per game scorer in Utah early in his career. He also was traded to the Portland Trailblazers for essentially nothing. Signing him is a risk, but a calculated one.
Wilson Chandler is a much lesser risk. He’s a 10-year veteran who might have lost a step or two but still has enough to give a few rotation-quality minutes here and there. He might not have been your first choice, but with $3.8 million, what else can you do?
Next, you’ll need to sign two minimum contracts, a wing and a point guard.
A couple of possible guard options:
- Raymond Felton
- Isaiah Thomas
- Rajon Rondo
- Shelvin Mack
A couple of possible wing options:
- Thabo Sefolosha
- Alec Burks
- Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot
- Jodie Meeks
For illustrative purposes, we will move forward with Shelvin Mack and Jodie Meeks but you can choose whoever you’d like.
That means the final roster you’ve chosen is:
- Point Guard: Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, Shelvin Mack
- Shooting Guard: Norman Powell, Rodney Hood
- Small Forward: OG Anunoby, Jodie Meeks, Malcolm Miller
- Power forward: Pascal Siakam, Wilson Chandler, Chris Boucher
- Center: Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Dewan Hernandez
