We're going back and forth on this but I agree that you need other pieces but disagree on the superstar aspect. Sure you can draft really well and pick up a star eg. Arenas but a true superstar...
Yes you are haha.. sorry
As much of a dominant big man you are you always need a go to clutch scorer. Even Shaq needed the likes of a Kobe or Wade. And as much as we compare Jonas to Duncan,...
Thank you peeps for emphasizing my point that we need a superstar.
Yes Matt we do need other pieces but look at Chicago. They have amazing pieces, a winning culture, deep bench, a great coach but...
No. I don't think you got my point.
About the MVPs, my bad on not being more clear but if you look at those teams (forgetting about the MVPs), they all had very high draft picks - usually top 3 in...
I'll do the honors [sorry about the partial repost] but the Raptors are stuck between a rebuild and win games now mode. This is the pattern of all Toronto teams. As I mentioned a few points before:
...
I'm with you on this koncept.
I think we've broken some unwritten rule of this website by having an opinion that the team's headed the wrong direction and that management is messing it up again....
I agree with CalgaryRapsFan that it's good that there's a variety of opinions and I totally agree with the fact that we need talent. We all want a winning franchise but differ in opinions of getting...
Yes, OKC "11 years" wait was well worth it. Or better yet, scrap that plan, let's be like Miami or NY and sign 2.5~3 superstars. That's an great idea you bright cookie you.
And tell me, in the...
This is the type of fan i'm talking about. This is why Toronto teams are lame-a$$. Satisfied with being mediocre. I'm a born and bred Torontonian that's sick of having loser teams. You're probably...
I'd have to disagree.
Nets are smart. Raptors idiotic.
Of course they're going to tank if they have half a brain. We could be gunning for the 4th spot (considering NO is also winning). Now...
I think thinking about the present players would be more interesting. I'd just mix the positions are a bit.
For example:
PF - DD
PG - ED
C - Linas
SG - JJ
SF - Gray
That'd be a blast to...
We gotta play like a team and tank as a team.
Look at Cleveland. They were so far ahead of us and now look. Now that's team play.
Looking at the standing now... I swear, if they win again NJ...
It's not like he had the same injury every year. He's not like a Curry or Oden. Well, at least he hasn't shown to have a chronic injury. Mayo's a good player but we need a pure stud.
Look at what...
No- Gordon is probably worth 10~12mil/year
"BUT" we have the cap room to secure one of the best SG's in the game. It's all about financial strategy. So we'll be over spending but we'll be over...
Forget Reke~
I'd tell the NO GM to trade us Gordon for DD + ED cause we'll be putting a max offer for him anyways (well I hope that's that BC will do). So either match us or take our other offer.
Is it just me or does it seem like the Raptors are the ONLY ones in the lottery trying NOT to tank?
Couple weeks ago we were in a good position to be bottom three. Even Portland is trying to tank...
I wish the Raptors followed in the Bobcats footstep!
At least they're on to something. If we were serious about tanking then we would have traded Barbosa a long time ago as he's won a few games...
I'd rip it apart.
Here's the future as I see is:
C - Jonas
PF - Drummond
SF - Rudy Gay *
SG - Eric Gordon*
PG - Jose & whoever we draft in the future
Note:*
Don't want to continue this much longer but you're misunderstanding me.
There's a difference between a good PG and a PG that can win you a championship... which is what I hope the raptors are...
Hey man, don't be talking about my boi Stockton that way.
Utah had a championship caliber team. Only problem was they had to go through MJ. A lot of championship caliber teams didn't win for the...
and how many championships has he won? where did his career go after he ditched the raptors to go to a decent team?
MY POINT?
You're all debating if Bayless can start for the Raptors....Of...
I agree: Bayless has the potential to be a starting PG...ON A BOTTOM FEEDING TEAM!
Hey, even mighty mouse was a superstar in the league with the Raptors~
It's sad but so true. We're building up the likes of Ed and Demar who are not what we make them out to be.
I may go with Drummond instead of Davis as we'll probably need someone who can bang with...
Was it just me that found it freakin hilarious that the whole crowd erupted after Lin hit that last shot?
Steal Eric Gordon offering him max money (raps can afford it considering they want to build through the draft). Dump Demar.
Problem solved.
