It's not about him becoming an all-star, it's about him becoming a contributor.

If we sign him on for one year at the minimum, and he comes in and contributes next year, then he's in line for a...

The pick is protected, if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, we would eventually lose it, and that would be rough.

I'm on board with not wanting Beasley. If we're trying to rebuild this team the right...

My understanding was that the HepB has been a long term issue, so it's not really a matter of recovering. He's played with it his whole life.

I agree on the wait and see mentality, but then you...

No, signing any mediocre player to a big contract affects the flexibility of future development. Whether they are European, North American, South American, Asian, African, or Australian is...

Um, did you give him a physical there Dr. gwapstyll?

Right. Because "black" and "European" are mutually exclusive...

First of all, Chris Bosh hasnt been the second best player on an NBA team since his rookie season, so I'm not sure how he's supposed to prove he can be the second best player on a championship team. ...

The list is good for us. If he wanted to, he could say "peace, Toronto" and leave. We would get nothing back, and have a capped out team featuring the basketball stylings of Calderon, Turkoglu, and...

Because that's what happens when the franchise player leaves town...someone else steps up.

Not every leader is a born leader. Some people get thrust into leadership roles and develop leadership...

Not like Raptors fans...the most well grounded and realistic fans in the world! (Note: that was sarcasm. Raptors fans are homers like few others)

They have come up with a good sign and trade...

That's hardly a fair comparison.

For starters, VInce played 3 college seasons, while Demar played 1. Everyone acknowledged Demar was a bit of a project when they drafted him, and I can't recall...

Ignoring for a moment that the proposed trades that would result in this backcourt are unrealistically optimistic, and will not happen under any circumstances...

No one slammed them, he just said...

If I'm not mistaken, this just means that any trade involving the Raptors pick can't officially go down until after the pick is made. So a deal would be agreed to in principle, but not finalized...

I actually think that hurts his chances. He's gonna see less touches and less shots, because it will be more important for him to fit in with the other solid players they have there. If Arenas is...

Andrea Bargnani for Brook Lopez? Yes, if I was BC, I would make that trade.

I would then hop on my unicorn and fly it to my castle in Narnia, where I would celebrate with the Fairy Godmother...

Prokhorov knows something about the game of basketball. He also employs people who know something about the game of basketball.

Anyone who knows anything about the game of basketball, regardless...

Wall will be given a much greater opportunity to win it. They're going to put the ball in his hands and let him go to work, much like Sacramento and Milwaukee did with Evans and Jennings this...

I can just see the RealGM clowns speculating already...

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT HE WILL BE SIGNING WHEREEVER HE IS AT THIS CURRENT TIME!!!

PERHAPS HIS AUNT WILL BE SIGNING HIM TO A MAX CONTRACT TO...

Of course they were loyal to Bosh when it served their purpose, just as Bosh was loyal to them when it served his (after his rookie deal was up).

As I said, this so called "loyalty" to Bosh would...

So as a player, you would forego the chance to win titles in the name of loyalty?

Loyalty in pro sports is a myth for the most part. If the Raptors had a chance to improve their chances for a...

That is just phenomenal. Well played, sir.

And Calvin Murphy claiming it's true doesn't make the story any more legit. If anything it might make it less legit.

General rule of thumb: If an NBA GM says someone is not on the trading block, or they say that they are not necessarily drafting a player, they can't be taken seriously. They could be telling the...

The Suns openly traded away picks for nothing in order to keep salary low, and those directions came directly from the owner if I'm not mistaken. If BC trades this pick it will be a basketball...

First of all, I believe he just said he wants the Raptors to acquire an all-star level player. I don't recall him explicitly stating that he would stay if that happened, just that he wanted it to...

I think the idea though would be that Bradley wouldn't have to take over a full-fledged point guard right away. As you said, that transition isn't easy (although it has become more en vogue in...
