I've never been so proud of BC! In the words of Axl Rose:

You wanna f*ck with me?
Don't f*ck with me.


Nevermind the fact I do like Fields and his girlfriend is smoking hot.

Why is paying $20 million over 3 years a good move for the Raps for essentially a bench player?

Read the whole thread. It has been discussed.

before the NY melo drama.. Fields was playing really well.. was considered by most to be the steal of his draft year.. since Melo has a habit of hogging the spotlight it hasnt left much room for anyone else to do anything.. melo has destroyed that team IMO.. i expect if we do get Fields He'll have a bouce back year..

Fields was a starter in his rookie season, if he build off of his performance then, we are getting a good, improving, young, Dwanye Casey starter for 6.67mil/yr

I agree.

Rap fans are so starved for change even lateral movement seems like Rib-eye Steak

Does any one have a reason for his much worse stats in his 2nd year? Is it melos fault? Can we count on feilds to join his rookie numbers?

Melo, complete roster turnover, coaching change... i could go on. he's a solid player.

my next question is > Where are we trading DD to?

[BallaBalla]

my next question is > Where are we trading DD to?

Maybe the knicks or suns

Here's Chad Ford input:

In other words, by signing Fields to offer sheet, Raptors probably killed talk of a Suns-Knicks sign-and-trade for Nash

Bryan's probably sitting in a pod chair stroking a hairless cat and giggling right now
