The team needed to be changed from top down.. so losing Alvin is not that big a deal (in my opinion).. however stating that, I can kind of understand why Doug would be mad.

I don't think he's...

Why do the Raptors have to model themselves around another team? Why can't the Raptors create their own identity and have other teams follow them?

The Raptors tried modelling themselves after...

The Raptors traded Delfino (and Ukic) for Amir Johnson (and Weems). I like Deflino too. I'd rather have him than Allan Anderson.

Raptors fan have had it rough.. but is just making the playoffs really a good goal to have for a franchise? As Ujiri puts it - "making the playoffs is easy".

The Nets have proven how easy it...

Radojevic was a bummer, but trading Bender for Davis makes up for it.

I'd trade him for just the biscuit.

Colangelo's acquisition of Gay is similar to his chase for Nash the summer before. He wanted a 'name'.

From a trade perspective, Bryan killed. Davis + 2nd rounder for Gay? When most were...

1) Not keeping Vince happy (too much front office movement leading to Vince becoming Wince and getting peanuts on the dollar for his inevitable trade)

2) Keeping Bargnani for too long

3) ...

I would prefer a guy that was involved with a reputable organization.. like San Antonio, LAL, Boston, Denver, OKC/Seattle, Houston, Utah, or Dallas.

Seth Curry reminds me of Austin Rivers, and I'd be surprised if Rivers is still in the league in a couple of years.

He's an assistant, so will work with Masai to create the best possible team.. however making the playoffs and being contenders are two completely different things. The Bucks were never contenders...

The Yankees and Knicks both have blue but the blues are different.. I think it can still work such that the blue the Raptors wear is a different shade then the Leafs - just to create some...

But the colour on the uniform is not going to help create a winning culture.. so why change it at all?

Branding is for marketing.. If I wanted the Raptors to make a sh!t load of money then I'd...

This Canada's team thing is crap.. I know that's what MLSE will want because it will make them richer. I would prefer that they go blue because that's what Toronto teams do.

I hate the MIP award.. it essentially means you sucked one time in your career and are now decent to good. But the fact is that you still sucked.

I don't think Amir should be the MIP as he's...

If Granger can be traded for Bargnani I would be happy with the trade. However Indiana is going to be looking for a lot more than Andrea for an expiring contract like that.

The one thing to...

You have to applaud the fact that TL and UM got the guy they wanted.. however looking at his resume I'm meh on the decision. He has experience and likes analytics but what has he really done that...

Chicago fans (on realgm) seem to be really chatting up the idea of trading for Bargnani:

Cathal Kelly should write a retraction. What a bonehead.

Bosh to Charlotte is interesting. If the Bobcats are interested in someone like Bosh, then you know Miami would be looking for a big to replace him.

You should have seen some of the clutch game winners Vince had as a Raptor.

I think the Raptors already used that cash on the Rudy Gay trade.. teams are only allowed to use a maximum of $3M once per year. The year resets July 1 and by then the draft is over.

We could...

What I don't like about Shaq is that he can't hit a free throw. If the starting 5 is playing a team of aliens from a different planet, I'm sure they'll game plan around hack-a-shaq.

If the game is on the line, I'd want Vince to be taking that shot.

Gay for Dudley, Gortat, #30

or

Gay for Frye, Beasley, #5 and Minnesota's 2014 (top 13 protected)
