Yeah, my bad. Can it be switched over? I realized after posting.

Sorry, I suppose this should have been in the more general NBA forum.

Sounds like the impact might be Charlotte moving up to select Tristan Thompson, who Detroit really...

Seriously, Anthony Randolph is like Ed Davis/Amir?

Not a chance, folks. Better ballhandler, worse rebounder... basically better offensive skills with no D. does that really remind you of Amir...

Yeah there's no way he has the speed of an elite WR

Absolutely not, and I'm not sure where you're getting that from. Did I say my sole reason for going last night was to see Westbrook (and Durant, originally)? No...

But man, you really think as an...

I'm not down with this at all, Heinz.

I think most rational people can be a passionate fan of their team and still appreciate seeing fantastic players in person... I was pumped to see Westbrook in...

I'd bet anything that this does not happen.

Still, I have high hopes for these guys, but you're seriously drinking some good kool-aid.

If the trio becomes 2/3rds as good, that's great.

You're going overboard intentionally with the comparison to the Lakers, right...?

Are you people for real? This is a joke, right?

Guys, gain some freaking perspective. The Raps are WIDELY (and I agree) considered to have the worst, least experienced roster in the league. There...

First of all, if the trade had gone through we'd have CHANDLER who's playing amazing and would fit like a glove next to Bargnani... so, that would have been nice

Also, REGGIE WAS IN THE DEAL! So I...

No player would tank... that's ridiculous and not at all what I'm saying.

I'm saying I want to watch a young, inexperienced team play their asses off and be enjoyable to watch... but, if you want...

@Buddahfan: Reread my post. I said you need to land a star, and that it's usually through the draft if you want that superstar. So, I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with - I'm saying, most...

Sure, during the season you're attached emotionally and want them to win. I do too.

But here is a fact: Unless we land a REAL star, we're never going to be a REAL contender. Continuing to finish...

The answer to the question "are Raptors fans delusional" has been answered with this thread.

Guys, this is embarrassing. Stop.

BC would get laughed off the phone for proposing DD for Brook....

Trife, you see advanced statistics and don't have the brainpower to understand how it works... hence just saying it's crap from "nerds."

As a decently intelligent guy, I've seen that before - it's...

Trife,

seriously man, what's wrong with you? forget the fact that you just don't understand how to engage people in conversations, I haven't seen one single person come to your defense or agree...

Seriously guys let it go.

Also, I guess D-Wade sucks too. 4-16, what a chump.

Apollo,

Of course, I understand that. I was more wondering how much people think he'll be able to play (18 mins per game? 30 mins per game?) and whether or not people think he can be as efficient...

...which makes me wonder if he'll be as efficient (probably not) when he's not just cleaning up misses and finishing off plays from others.

Apollo,

While my leagues have never actually counted fouls as a negative category, Amir's fouling can still hurt him in the game by keeping him off the court. I wonder how many times he'll start...

Don't tell that to FAQ!

How do you think Davis and Bargnani will affect him? Personally I agree with the article - it's really up to Amir... if he can stay on the floor he'll produce, considering Bargs doesn't grab enough...

"Let’s see – Chris Bosh is gone, which means the Raptors are losing a ton of rebounds per game. Playing center is Andrea Bargnani, who despite a nice shooting touch is one of the worst rebounders in...

There's no way they offered all of them. That's absolutely ridiculous.
