Lets be real here for just a moment, the Toronto Raptors need to part ways with Demar Derozan or Kyle Lowry. While they both are really good during the regular season, they are no shows when it comes to the playoffs. When you're paying guys millions of dollars to consistently get bounced out of the second round of the playoffs then you have to look at your team and start finding out what is wrong. Any fan of the NBA Playoffs will tell you that the two "stars" of the Raptors are the problem. They put up great numbers when it's the regular season and position themselves as a top 3 team in the Eastern conference but they don't produce the same when the big lights are on. In the current series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Raptors have found themselves in a 3-0 hole that they will most likely not get out of. Granted, LeBron James has made two great shots to end games but if the stars of the Raptors were truly great then they could put away the LeBron James Cavaliers. Lets be honest, it's really just LeBron producing for the team, and yes I do realize that Kevin Love has stepped up in a big way but it's mainly LBJ producing for the team. If the Raptors want any chance of restoring their name in the playoffs they should consider trading one of the two pieces that they already have and get someone who won't crumble when the big lights are on.
