ESPN Insider are doing their worst free-agent fits throughout the NBA and suggest that signing Hornet’s PF David West could be tempting for the Raps, but note that he isn’t the franchise player some give him recognition for and there’s also some questions regarding this health.
No doubt he thrived in Casey’s defensive schemes last season in Dallas, so anyone think he’ll follow him to Toronto and help rebuild this young franchise?
Let the debating begin. Obviously some big ole question marks at the centre position still here in Toronto heading into this season. That being said, with only a couple weeks to get ready, who do you got starting at centre? Andrea, Amir, Ed, Garth Joseph?
Leandro and his wife aren’t too happy at the moment with the thought of basketball returning. The family were apparently all excited about the thought of Papai Noel wearing his slick silk suit and sliding down the chimney with gifts in tow. Maybe when your retired Leandro.
Big hopes have been pinned on Casey’s arrival, as a defensive minded coach with a talent for creating systems that maximize his resources. But what can he realistically accomplish between now and the Raps first game?
True enough regarding players not wanting to be here. That is old world Antonio Davis/Steve Francis nonsense. It is no secret players love coming through Toronto and as the league has gotten younger it has also seen that sentiment disappear. Rudy/Amir and Demar love it. I saw Kyle at the island airport and unprompted he started to tell me how much he loved it here. Jennings loves it. AI loved it and god knows KG has long loved the ladies here. An the tattoo shops. It's the organization they don't care for. Or rather, the losing.
