    When will we read " Player bought out and is seeking to sign with the Raptors "

    The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to waive JaVale McGee in time for him to sign with a playoff team. The San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Miami Heat are mentioned as possible destinations for McGee

    the Raptors are 2nd in the conference but Heat on the list ...

    Only when they're contenders.

    Destinations like NY, LA, or Miami will always get consideration. Cities with great traditions and good size like Chicago and Boston are on the next level unless they're currently terrible. Small markets and Toronto are at the end of the list - gotta be contenders.

      Raptors are also hard capped with no exemptions I think

        Rod Strickland comes to mind.

          I don't get why we don't have enough love. People compare TO to big cities in the States a lot.

            We're not hard capped - we are not even in the tax. We could offer the minimum, which is probably what everyone else is offering.

              Considering Philly just ate $12M to buy him out (this season and next), I'm pretty McGee will be fine with the minimum.

              Can't see SA. Pop and McGee just don't match. Houston seems logical.

                Who did you have in mind? Business associations, politicians, educators, cultural enthusiasts etc etc? Basketball players I am afraid belong to a different demographic. I dont want entirely generalize obviously. eg. If you asked the Gasol bros. about Toronto and Canada, inclusive of basketball or not...one is likely to get a nuanced and knowledgeable answer. In a word its...priorities.

                  Hockey and Baseball players usually say it's a great place. And other basketball players who have played here say it's a great city as well. So sports guys do enjoy the town. I just think that most aren't willing to come north due to weather and other adjustments (Family, Housing, Taxes, etc.)

                    Either way, do not want Javale McGee at all....

                        This topic has been discussed quite a bit in the forums. I'll just touch on the weather because I think it is sometimes used as a scapegoat....what about Boston, NY, Minnesota, Indiana, DC, Milwaukee, Denver, Chicago (have I missed any?) Some of these cities are worse than Toronto (this winter excepted possibly). Chris Bosh, someone with varied interests made the asinine comment about there not being any ESPN channel availability...so there you go...facepalm worthy.

                        As someone else said, have a good mgmt team and a winning org. and they will come. Most of the rest bs excuses will be set aside.

                          Done and done. Now winning must equal conference finals or better. Best believe if we make 3rd round (I know it looks bleak right now), it won't matter who we beat to get there like many of you think, heads will turn towards Toronto fast.

                          People need to know that they can sign in the East, face less competition and Toronto would be the best team not led by Lebron James.

                            McGee is an idiot, glad he doesn't want to come here.

                              They have 2M of MLE and the BAE left and 2 trade exemptions - Salmon's and Novak AFAIK and are kissing the luxury tax line with all contracts guaranteed
