Steve Fruitman, I believe his name was. Engineered the Hedo 4-way trade, allowing us to hold on to some of our guys that we'd otherwise have had to relinquish rights to.

Regardless of almost every other factor, I can't help but think that passing up on top-5 pick status (guaranteed money, and a fair amount at that) is incredibly stupid and risky.

This would be a valid point if his technique was actually fundamentally broken (i.e. Fields post-injury). That's not the case. At this point, he needs to do the same thing he does inside the 3pt...

The problem with Lowry this season is, as has been said by many, that he's been asked to pass, rather than create. Passing for passing's sake is not good offense. Give Lowry some degree of freedom on...

Absolutely. Hell, if DD/Gay can both shoot over 35% from 3, then this is (dare I say it?) a good team. Is that likely? I'm not sure. Even with Gay's struggles this year and the past couple years, he...

Yeah, I am.

However, the thought of having a legitimate post threat is appealing. I think Valanciunas is going to be one next year, but Boozer has the pedigree. I just cringe at his contract, but...

Boozer isn't likely to bring the same things as those guys, though, in my opinion. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Wait until next year for Landry. Then we'll see whether he's worth his contract or not.

Why would you actively seek to trade Acy? He's a rare second-round pick that's panning out. You aren't going to get anything back for him.

If LA wins the lottery without being a bottom-5 team, I will find it very difficult to ever watch the NBA again. Yes, it's statistically possible (it's a lottery) but there's no way I'd buy it.

We have JV, so no, not even close.

Gasol, because it'd be a big expiring contract. But I wouldn't give up any draft picks for him. Bargnani / filler, thats it. I think JV is going to be a serious threat next year in the low post, so...

Rudy Gay in a triangle is intriguing, I've never considered it... It would almost certainly be less painful to watch than our current 100% ISO offense.

I'd put either of the Van Gundy brothers on my list, although I highly doubt it'd happen.

Yeah, I've been thinking this essentially since the beginning of the season (4-19 start).

Mostly, I just don't understand the logic behind almost any of his decisions. Not only is he...

Yeah, I see your point. However, for me there is no excuse for this team to be so far outside the playoff picture, either pre or post- Gay. Casey has shown no ability to obtain high-effort, and his...

That's the reality of it. The most significant problem for Toronto right now is coaching.

He shot 66% from the field, scoring 18ppg this season. I don't think a 2 game sample is enough to be a cause for alarm.

Related: NCAA referees are fucking atrocious.

This post implies that Casey actually has a strategy on offense. He doesn't. He's a bad head coach, and we're not going to have an effective offense as long as he's here.

Basically, Stan van Gundy was right all along. The 3 point shot is the best shot in basketball, and as the analytics become increasingly common, three point shooting is going to increase in...

Most likely he went to the optometrist and got a new prescription, just like a large quantity of the "normal" population. Athletes have eyesight issues too.

Fans are mad because Dwane Casey is mortgaging the future (development of JV, Ross) in order to play "his guys" (Anderson, Gray) in their place. His decision making has been horrendous all season,...

Re: Point 1 - Yes, I agree with you here. However, history has shown us that they have, and continue to do so. Perhaps the new CBA will start to change these things.

Re: Point 2 - I was talking...

If they can negotiate a less-than-max extension, I'd consider it a reasonable move (think ~$13-15 M /year). Otherwise, why would they do so?

The reality of the NBA is that there aren't enough superstars to go around. That leads to teams spending big on guys who don't necessarily warrant max deals, but get them due to market conditions,...
