2015 Raptors Offseason - Everything rumors, musings and rumblings

[SkywalkerAC]

Jonas is going to beast it, sounds like he's buying in. English is sounding very good as well.

[SkywalkerAC]

Good questions by Sherm at the end.

[Wild-ling#1]

Former Bulls assistant handling the defense sounds pretty good to me.

Yes indeed-y.

First rock solid evidence of a conservative defensive scheme definitely being implemented.

Oh please oh please oh please

[Scraptor]

Love what JV says at the end here. "Coach Andy brought some new stuff defensively I'm more familiar with..."

If Andy Greer can keep us from losing our minds this season we should all pitch in to buy him a keg.

Casey entering a lame duck year. Expect him to sabatoge everything with his crazy subs

I really don't understand what Tristan Thompson is up to?

He blew the deadline for his QO so now that is off the table.

He wants to play for the 905!

[Dragan]

He wants to play for the 905!

If that's what he wants, would it not make more sense to sign the QO, and then sign here next season?

[psrs1]

Even then I'd be worried if he could duplicate it or not.

Hey if DD could be LeBron for one season and lead us to a championship I could live with DD getting max money and not earning it for the next four years.

DeMarre Carroll on OTR the other day says DeRozan is just as good as LeBron lol. No joke.

[SkywalkerAC]

So has the deadline for TT's QO come and passed? If so, what are the options available to both parties? Does he have to sit out? Can they still get a deal done?

[DanH]

The same options are all still there - sign a new deal (of any value up to his max, for from 1 to 5 years). Sign and trade still an option.

Didn't know where else to put this cause there is no everything DD thread.

“I hate that, honestly,” DeRozan said in a one-on-one interview. “I never speak about it. With me, I’ve always been that one player: I’ve been loyal. I’ve been every single thing you can think of here. I think people don’t understand how much pride I take in playing (in Toronto). A lot of times when I do get asked that, it kind of frustrates me.

“Everyday I wake up, I take pride in being the longest Raptor here. People bring up third or whatever in franchise scoring — there is so much stuff like that.”

from the same page:

With that in mind, he put extra work into his three-point shot this summer, and not for the first time. DeRozan has always insisted that he could shoot the three-pointer, but he has just chosen to focus on other parts of his offensive game. Whatever the reason, he has never shot better than 31 per cent from long distance.

Alarm bells galore.
