    What exactly would be the point? So the team can still be a mediocre team? If Bosh leaves, people keep talking about replacing his production, but if Bosh leaves, we have to deal with the fact that the Raptors are going to have to rebuild. Getting Amare would allow the Raptors to et, at best, 45 wins. Great. That means no lottery pick, and no cap room. And a first round exit. Amare's going to be 28 next season, doesn't play defense and relies mostly on athleticism. There's absolutely no reason the Raptors should go after him except as a band-aid solution that will end up keeping the team out of the lottery.
    You are correct, sir. A man that big, that mobile, and with that kind of vertical should be at least a modest shotblocker. He's not, and he's also a lousy help defender.

    +1.

      That list doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Look at the All Defensive First team...

      Rajon Rondo (113) 8 spots below DeRozan
      Dwyane Wade (285) one below RUssell Westbrook (who I also thought was a good defender) and 9 spots below Carlos Boozer
      LeBron James (274) 8 spots below Jason Kapono
      Josh Smith (126) 1 spot ahead of Vladimir Radmanovic
      Dwight Howard (120) 12 spots below Dirk Nowitzki

      Does that make sense to you?
      Not unless you are one of these guys

        The Raps have been rebuilding for the past 4 years, with Bosh here, and we're still not a winning team.
        That Raptors have been rebuilding for six years. What year hasn't been part of a "rebuild" since Vince left?

          This took about 4 to build from the beginning of the project.

              By the way it appears that Johnson does have a nickname and it is not BC15 but

              "Big Dawg"

                Did you post in the wrong thread?

                By the way, Big Dawg has been used. At least twice, I believe. Can't people think of a more unique nickname?
