As a Raptors fan, you should be happy that such a strategy exists. It creates an advantage for JV. He's not going to get hacked because he can hit those FTs, while there is a shitload of bigs who...

I see that more as a patience and not trying to rush/force anything, if you follow Spurs for example, you could see that Timmy is approaching it in a very similar fashion, not trying to take a bad...

Just how many players on that list were BUSTS? I count only 3-4, there are also a few very solid players, and the rest are ELITE players. And he's leading the list! That's pretty outstanding.

Another thing is Noah's ability to run the floor very well for a big guy, I think Jonas showed that he has some potential in that area as well:

Bingo, I also think (and hope) that JV will have a Bogut type body. Except that JV actually already has an offensive game, while Bogut's offense is very limited.

I don't think that JV's motor is...

I know you're being genuine here, but it's hard to read this sentence without sounding sarcastic for some reason.

The thing is, every one of those 3 players on your list has a much higher value than JV so the question now becomes would you be willing to give up something like JV+Amir+1stRounder+Ross for either...

LOL, would you really trade a 20 year old legit center in JV for a soon-to-be 35 year old Dirk? Are you high?

Why lose just a few games then? They could've lost all 82 of them on purpose. Not that this organization has any respect left to lose anyway. Then Raps would've really had a top pick.

This is the same as to think what would've been if Raps drafted Davis, Beal or Lillard. It was out of Raps control. You shouldn't worry about something you couldn't have done anything about.

I didn't mean any direspect, perhaps my analogy wasn't a very good one. Maybe JV/Bargs for EK/Millsap isn't impossible, it's just very unlikely to happen IMO.

Speaking of impossible scenarios, Raps should also trade JV for Wiggins if that opportunity presented itself.

I have wondered that too. What is that actual difference in percentages?

I know, but Summer League just seems a waste of time to me to be honest. There is no teamplay there. I bet Raptors' scrimmages are more beneficial to him than those Las Vegas games. I'd prefer him to...

Pissed that JV's gonna be forced to play in summer league against D-Leaguers and 3-stringers when he could be using that time to train with Sabonis on national team camp :(

Give JV 15-20 touches a game = WIN

I strongly disagree with both tkfu and Craiger. I think once JV will fill out, he'll be much much more of a true center than Kanter. JV doesn't mind banging in the paint. I imagine JV having...

Mourning was traded to the Toronto Raptors on December 17, 2004. Mourning never reported to the Raptors and was bought out of his contract, at a remaining 9 million dollars, on February 11, 2005....

Kanter:
- Great touch, will develop a 3pt range
- NBA ready body size-wise
- very quick & athletic
- very solid post game potential
- average length
- average hustle
- health red-flags...

No way they're doing this trade. Are you high?

This.

Regarding the comment about the fanbase though, I think Toronto's fanbase is one of the better ones in the NBA.

Voted B+.

Would've voted A if he really exceeded my expectations and averaged something like 12pts/8reb.

Still a really good season, yet tons of potential still left. The kid is still 20 years...

Here's a better example of how to pronounce his name :D Listen at 0:03

I believe it would actually be written Yoh-Nas in English.
