Doesn't say much, just that they are 7-3 since acquiring Gay and 19-14 since that terrible start. Also that this is a big week for their playoff chances.

He still values Ross, but tabbed him as being picked about 10 slots too early; he threw out a Courtney Lee comp.
I am feeling sick to my stomach. I am part of a season ticket pool for 2 top-notch tickets (2nd row). I spend thousands of dollars for a share. Was excited about this season to be able to watch...
Yes but I think it is better to give up the pick in 2013 than 2014 given the respective strength of the draft classes. Especially in blow up scenario where the Raps will have high slots.
As for...
Agree completely with blowing it all up. I'm tired of these ongoing incremental fixes that are leading us on a road to nowhere. This is a star dominated league and you can not win without at least...
Something that bothers me about Ross: he has been to the free throw line less than...Quincy Acy. That's pretty bad. Small sample size no doubt, but that was what Hollinger was complaining about...
Has anyone read the Paula Broadwell biography of General Petraes? I read it after learning that she was blowing him. Total puff piece. For me reading Doug Smith on the Raptors has the same feel...
Gray, statistically was one of the worst players in the NBA last year according to 82games.com mostly due to his propensity to foul. http://www.82games.com/1112/11TOR17.HTM
There's a reason he was...
The exact opposite of that I think?
With respect to what happens after 5 years:
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
No. Get the pick as is in 6th season. RT @PaulHope29: @Jonathan_Feigen So if Toronto makes playoffs next 5 years,...
I actually think that it's a great move. For the next couple of years I see Toronto in the #6-#10 range of the Eastern conference. So the pick is a low lottery one or keeps getting deferred. And...
From @JeromeSolomon (Rockets reporter on twitter)
If source is accurate, Rockets trade of Kyle Lowry is pretty sweet. Short form: Rockets get a Toronto lottery pick in next 5 yrs ...
Rockets...
I realize that Lou Williams is not a traditional point guard but he is an outstanding offensive player and scorer. He has a great shot fake, draws a huge amount of fouls and can seemingly get to the...
First of all the cap hit is 6.3 million in all 3 years and doesn't spike in year 3. Secondly while sure we can't attract stars, we definitely will always need to attract role players. There is no...
If we pull the offer, it would be viewed extremely negatively around the league and Toronto will become even more of a tougher sell. The Raptors took a gamble, they lost, we have to live with the...
There is no way Houston will trade Lowry for a 2013 pick. Morey does not really have the luxury of time as he needs to show something soon to keep his job. Hence his fruitless pursuits of Gasol...
Stranger things have happened but I really doubt that Houston would do that. They have a good player at an attractive salary - that's a very nice asset. Maybe there are 3 way trade combinations...
Houston is so big on analytics and Derozan grades out terribly so not sure they would even value him that highly
BC trying to save face - and, if it happens, make Lowry feel that he wasn't 2nd choice. I really wonder what we can give up that Houston would value.
With respect to Nash's personal, family reasons for wanting to be in NYC, I can totally respect that. What riles me is why BC didn't have a good read on it. Is a GM just about concocting schemes...
I don't see how they lose their Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception. The bi-annual I realize they used on Forbes. But they are not a tax-payer and well under the luxury tax threshold.
No this completely ignores the Calderon amnesty option which frees up $10.5 million. That said some of this room would be taken up by the 2012 draft picks. There is also the MLE option.
The Knicks were a circus last year given their injuries, coaching change and line-up tinkering. Just a year ago the Knicks did not want to give him up in the Melo deal. Not a star but an excellent...
I'm pretty sure the cap hit for Raptors is averaged - a la the Asik move by Houston. People thought that Knicks could lose Lin this way.
Also the cap hit for Raptors is averaged over 3 years (i.e. just under $7 million) but if Knicks match they use the annual salaries and they already have $65 million committed for 2014-2015 so almost...
