With NBA free agency entering its fourth day it’s hard to conclude anything other than that the Raptors are simply a well-padded fallback position for Nash.
If the Raptors are intent on keeping and using their eighth overall pick at the June 28 NBA draft — and that remains a question — they could do far worse than either of the two point guards who graced the ACC practice gym yesterday.
A triple double, a perennial D Leaguer with 19 rebounds, DeMar dressed like a clown, we win more games in a short season than a regular length season…Silliness.
It seemed like we were taking on a team with a leg and a arm tied behind their back and, well, we still lost. Badly. Heat win 96-72 and we stay proud at 22-41. Represent!!!
Somebody crapped the bed again in the 4th, but with Jose and Linas licking wounds, it wasn’t a surprise. Philly wins 93-75 and we love 20 more than anybody else in the league.
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.
