Raptors and the Summer of 2013

By Yardly on May 8 2012, 6:45p 32

I wonder how linked Bayless, DeRozan, and Calderon's fates with the club are. While we have little in the way of alternatives, we risk walking into next summer with

- Jose Calderon entering FA
- Jerryd Bayless entering FA
- Demar DeRozan entering restricted FA
- James Johnson entering restricted FA
- Gary Forbes entering FA

That's most of the wings and guards on the roster who need a new contract.
How would that influence both the way they play, and any ability to obtain value for them during the season?

How would you handle the situation pre-emptively this off-season?

Poll

With so many wings and guards up for a new contract, is this a problem? Which of the following actions would you prioritize?

16% Sign DeRozan to an extension or trade him. (17 votes)
