Very typical of a Toronto team - not good enough to make playoffs, never shitty enough to get good draft picks. We're doomed everyone, keep hoping but we'll be stuck without a properly built team for the rest of time.

You might as well give up and never post on this forum again.koncept wrote:

number 8th pick is looking preeeetty good right now.
koncept is probably a cavs fan
Koncept, Other than maybe NOH which team (worse than us) would you believe has the higher upside going forward?
Charlotte.
They hit rock bottom, can't go nowhere but, up.
Makes sense.
I mean, I'm pretty sure he doesn't feel that way and he isn't the first one today to overreact about the raptors draft LOTTERY position. Not even saying I disagree with him.
But, if he honestlyfeels that way. There's really no reason to continue to be a fan of this team and thus, no reason to be a member of this forum.
haha. good reactions so far. I'm a die hard, just frustrated, maybe overreacting a bit. I understand that this season the raps are developing and have shown fight in a lot of close losses but does anyone else not feel that being tied for 3rd would have given us much more opportunity in drafting who we really want to draft? Its been a long season and I would've like to have gotten a better draft position out of it.

I'll repeat what I said in the coin flip thread.
They obviously are working and have already worked on a plan for every single scenario for the draft.
If they aren't sastisfied they'll trade the pick for something they're satisfied with.
sounds a bit more promising.
i think this is the time of year where the moderators are busy as shit. There are a bunch of crazy fans who join this website simply to dump on the raptors because of their season.
I assume the OP is making a comparison to the Leafs, but the comparison doesn't really work. Their problem wasn't that they were never bad enough to get good players, it was that they always got impatient and traded them rather than developing them... Just in the last few years, they drafted Tlusty (traded after 3 seasons for non-NHLer, and just had a breakout season with Carolina this year); Carlo Colaiacavo and Steen (traded for Lee Stempniak, who played less than 2 seasons in Toronto, and both of who have become key pieces of the Blues); and Rask (traded to Boston for Raycroft, who played less than 100 games... Rask is now Boston's goltender of the future). Add in trading two first-rounders for Kessel, (one of which ended up being second-overall Seguin), and the Leafs over the last decade have probably the worst management of first-round picks out of just about any pro sports team.
So let's be patient and see what happens. Development takes time in any sport, and it's not all about high draft picks.
I'm with you on this koncept.
I think we've broken some unwritten rule of this website by having an opinion that the team's headed the wrong direction and that management is messing it up again. You've got commie Officer Puffer over here telling you not to have your own opinion.
This sounds like that guy in the Horror movies who just starts freaking out, and telling everyone they're all f-cked, and then he runs off and gets stabbed by Michael because he panicked instead of just sticking with the plan ... y'know? Hahaha
I can understand where you are coming from, but the doom and gloom attitude is just not like Toronto sports fans.
We are generally an optimistic bunch, and regardless of outcome, I think a positive attitude helps everyone out.
I just have to look at Charlotte and New Jersey to know that the Raptors will be just FINE.

I'm not sure anyone is saying you are not allowed to be of this opinion.
Just be ready to back it up, because for the most part, these are optimistic waters you be treading in.

Cause your opinion stinks
Just because his opinion is something you disagree with and even if it was a heat of the moment overreaction.
You can't tell someone not to have an opinion because you don't like it.
The man is a human being and has feelings just like you.
If anything he deserves an explanation as to why you disagree with him. Not just to be told to shutup and called an idiot.
the f-ck?
Someone hack into LBFs account and start making nice posts? Hahah

But, is FINE enough? I think that's what he's getting at. The truth about that can't be answered until after year 5. We are currently after year 2. If I'mnot mistaken.
