I was thinking the same, just throwing it out there trying to find a way to unload Bargs for TO and Perkins for OKC, while getting that coveted PF everyone wants. I have no illusions, nobody will...

TO trades: Bargs, DeRozan, Ross
TO receives: KLove, Sefolosha

OKC trades: Perkins, Sefolosha
OKC receives: Bargs, Ross

Minny trades:...

Exactly. Which is why I don't like beating on Demar because of his contract. He didn't demand it and he didn't say no to a previous offer. It was given to him and he accepted it. Why wouldn't he?...

I believe he worked with Gary last offseason on his post-up game, but don't quote me on it.

Agreed, especially in Miami's case. What I got from many Heat games is that they don't turn it on, or play to their highest potential until the fourth quarter. They seem to be content taking it...

I think Barnes is a great player, and I'd probably take him over Battier but certainly over Prince. I doubt Landry will ever come close to either of those guys.

Basically, Demar should have not have agreed to work for $9.5 mil per season. He should have said, "Look Brian, I'm still young and growing as a basketball player. I really don't think I'm worth...

I agree. Going through position by position one can warrant making a comparison, but when looking at how these teams play...not so much. Indiana's success stems from their defense first mentality,...

Ascension to Stardom...I like Demar but not this type of marketing about him. I think it's too much. Even if Demar possessed all the skills that the critics point out he lacks, I still don't look...

Lebron left cleveland so he wouldn't have to do that. I truly believe Lebron does not fill the stat sheet as much as he could. As for his defense, check with the analytics guys...he's fucking up...

Personnally, I'd like to roll into next season with our current starters plus Ross and maybe Acy. I think that team with a couple of extras and a good system would be fun to watch, and could...

I'd prefer Raptors over Mammoths (slow and hairy), Huskies, or wolverines. Great job on the Husky uniform tho...that is impressive. I think the Raptor from the project34 site referenced above looks...

I'd leave the name alone. Just from a personal standpoint, I wanna see the Raptors turn it around and achieve something in the coming years, not this team with a different name. It's not that I'm a...

How about the Ontario Onions? or Ontario Orangutans? Ontario Orcas? Ontario Ocelots? no, wait the Ontario Octopi? How about the Ontario Owls? Or the Great Lakers? The Toronto Great Lakers...that's...

I find it surprising that people are defending Bargs. I do see the upside in his game, but I don't see him delivering it. He puts forth such little effort at times that it is quite disgusting to...

QUOTE]

don't we do this with most of our players. I've heard it time and again on these forums regarding Demar, Ross, Fields, AA and Lowry.

If we swapped rosters with the Bulls. Then we would be in the 5th seed next year and Bulls fans could have this conversation right. lol, most of you guys will be disappointed next year - no doubt...

I'd like the team to "blow it up". Would give me a great excuse to stop being a Raps fan. I'm getting sick of cheering for the team we might have in a few years, if we made this move or that move...

No it isn't, but the point was that the Raps shoot about the same % of total shots from distance, with clearly inferior shooters. We need to change our offense and play to the players strengths.

As far as trades go, I don't want a return of a toxic player, a player with injury history, or another terrible contract unless it expires next season. Nor do I want to involve Amir in a trade with...

Whatever we do with Bargs, it should at least provide us with some flexibility going forward. I really want to see him gone, so waiting is the last thing I want to do. However, in the absence a a...

I just don't know of any teams that are developed and put together to play small ball. And like phez mentioned above, is having Durant or Lebron (at the 4 I assume) really going small? I think...

A brief article on the hangtime blog showing the success some teams are having with small ball lineups. Interesting...

1. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this season was a step forward, but a very small step indeed. The record, presence of Bargs, and inconsistencies throughout the season say otherwise. However,...

I totally agree, with the second bold in your quote and about the buying in. This is essential, players have to believe that the system they are trying to implement will actually produce results. ...
