Raptors Republic Superstar

I didn't say "no GM" is said no high profile GM. The Raptors are the kiss of death, just look at that track record. The emphasis needs to be on...

I think it greatly depends on who they hire. I could see a Ujiri hiring or Stefanski promotion being very awkward and strange if there were...

Do you know the success rate on second round picks? Its horrible. Park that money on red and spin the wheel. You're more likely to come out ahead...

I think blowing it up/tanking can safely be removed from the equation or list of possibilities.

I would vote against Wolverines for 2 reasons: 1. The last time we tried to bank in on movie success, it failed miserably. 2. When I think of...

The two players I am going to resign are Larry Sanders and Jarrett Jack. Everyone else (Dudley, Miles, Beverly, Blatche, Harris) will be...

You mean the 29 year old Copeland? Do you realize when you waive a player his salary still counts towards the cap if no one picks him up off...

Yeah, I have to agree. It was made pretty clear he has no say in basketball decisions and if BC forces the issue TL is not going to "fire the...

You and Apollo have good speculation going. Like players, he might have had guaranteed money atached if the contract was not picked up. Some...

You are asking to debate something I clearly said was crazy from the get go. I do not believe in the position you are pushing upon me. I took a...

Why buy a second round pick? They could have a lot more fun wasting that money in Vegas.

There is probably a huge payout (severance) owed to him if he were to get axed. By relocating him to a different role it's much less expensive to the...

If they trade him, here are a couple starting points to build around in a trade: Toronto/Charlotte Bargnani for Thomas and Haywood ...

I merged two threads due to redundancy.

I thought Colangelo will have no say in basketball operations. He's cut off.

Some of those who are proponents to leveling everything and starting over are also those who expect the Raptors to find a talented, high profile GM...

My understanding is team option with $1m guaranteed.

I really don't give a shit. Blowing things up were discussed and so was trading gay. I chimed in. Golden state reportedly had gay discussions...

Everyone should be hoping that they win it, are you kidding me?

They don't need to win it to keep the pick. Do you have the numbers on the worst chance team to win a top three pick?

The Bison is a proud, mighty animal indigenous to Canada. The "Toronto Bison" wouldn't be a bad choice. I think they should stick with red, white...

Between "trade him now" and "trade him later", it's almost a dead heat.

He's never seemed all that tough when guarding the interior paint. If anything he plays soft defense. You know what, he would fit in fine. All...

Husky Republic might come off as a site for portly/chubby people. I can easily designate myself an admin there then. :)

You don't grasp conversation very well. No one not even me thinks bargnani is going to golden state with gay. You are bringing up talking...

All valid points as well.

What happened to gay? He injured his shoulder.

Burke at the third pick. 1 or 2 I would look to trade down. Another option would be what does attaching bargnani to the pick do for you?

Tanking is no more a proven method than trying to right the ship while keeping integrity. No GM is going to want to come to Toronto to lose for...

I want to clarify something. If the Raptors pick up all team options in 2014/15, their cap number will actually be $50M that year, not $37M. Those...
