I'd like to stress the "most humble" part Matt52 refers to. Lucking out on a superstar might be a homerun, lucking out on a humble superstar for sure is a grand slam. As an example, it can be argued...

This is a very good analogy and hits home really hard.
This on the other hand is really bad. Clearly this guy does not know basketball hierarchy, nor corporate hierarchy for that matter.
Colangelo did not draft "great point guard and current tripple double leader in the NBA" Kidd, he was drafted by Dallas. So is Joe Johnson, who was drafted by Boston. He did draft Nash but he was...
+1 I was thinking the same thing when I was reading the post.

The only problem with c) is that again...NBA teams cannot trade 1st round picks in consecutive years. The conditions that comes with the pick now owned by OKC makes it unknown when they can acquire...

Nowhere in the article does it mention the word "tanking" or the concept of "losing on purpose". Chisolm's argument was that we want the Raptors to become a contender, i.e. to be in the playoffs...
You have a wife AND a girlfriend??? You da man!!!
I'm assuming SAC's main purpose was to partner Cousins (and hopefully get him straight) with a friend and former teammate in Patterson. The rumours earlier in the season was Cousins going to HOU to...

LOL agree! We can't just come up with trade scenarios hoping to dump all our garbage to Utah for one of Millsap or Jefferson. the only way we can do a straight up trade with Utah is if we include...
The Raptors can't offer any 1st rounders until OKC gets the pick from the Lowry trade.
Even ESPN's trade machine thinks this is a one-sided deal (+6 Wins for Toronto and -7 wins for Utah).

Do you guys think some GM's are waiting for the Olympics to be done before they consumate a trade with players involved in the games? Why would a GM trade for Calderon now when he might get injured...
And that one move got us a grade of B- instead of an A? That's a pretty huge drop for one missed move (according to ESPN). I'm glad this guy's not my prof.
Lucas and Anderson are not signed...yet. Also Pietrus declined Boston's offer of the veteran's minimum, he wants to get paid and he does not want to be a 3rd stringer.
+1 If ever we sign a SF, it will be because he will start over Fields and Kleiza, not back them up.
That's quite a talent you got there Turbo.
Different strokes exercise different parts of your body. Aside from that, there are certain advantages too: the breastroke gives you excellent visibility; the backstroke avoids any breathing issues...
