    Tank aficionados need to realize that tanking doesn't happen until after the trade deadline. We're going to go into the season trying to win and make the playoffs. If it looks like we're gonna fall short halfway through the season, we start to deal players and go into tank mode. It's not going to happen in the preseason, or it would have already. I think this team will disappoint all the tankers and actually be a pretty good team. Everyone discounts what a beast JV will be this year like he won't make any impact on this teams wins and losses. I think just JV's improved play gets us into the playoffs. Adding improved play from anyone else (or bench improvement from new signings) is just gravy to get us a better seed. I predict 6 seed and I think we're gonna be a nightmare for the 3 seed this year.

      I'm likely very delusional for thinking this, but I think Hansbrough is going to surprise alot of people this year. Albeit right now he'll be backing up Amir, I bet that changes halfway through the year. I'm a Heels fan and he isn't as terrible on the offensive side as some say. Given PT, he'll do well here in Toronto. Book it.
      But I'm assuming you don't think he'll turn into an All-Star. That's what I'm talking about.

        Oh, sorry. No, definitely not an all-star but I do see him performing much like Amir did last season. That's a nice problem to have in my opinion. My concern with this team is the mostly at the SG spot.

          I think you should leave all that tanking stuff to the tanking thread.

              And what happens when we tank and miss out on the 25% chance of winning the lottery next year? It was all for naught.

              Tanking is ridiculous. I wanna roundhouse all the Raptors fans in the throat who suggest it constantly.

              So line up tank supporters. I'm limbering up right now.
              I love this guy. I'm the guy to the lift of him with the ten foot wingspan I throw tankers to the next lake.

                It will still take an astute eye to make that call. We can easily have a .500+ record based on the number of equal and weaker teams. That won't be the case in a few years if we stay status quo.

                    Think the 3 shell game (the one you need to keep away from on certain street corners).

                    MU is effing with everyone's head.

                      Wow! I'm pumped about this. I've mentioned multiple times in here how he would be a good addition. He's small and speedy sort of like TJ. This was a good play by MJ because if DJ can turn it around then he could be a good long term backup PG if the extension then came.

                      I didn't realize he was still out there on the market.

                      More like he signed with the Raptors because they promised to pay him and let him sit on the bench. He should be thankful he made the league. Nobody knew who he was or how to pronounce his name a week ago.

                      Are Matt's feet planted? I don't know if he's gonna draw the foul or not here yet.
