    Then you are not a true fan!

    If it wasn't for math and losing they would totally be in the playoffs - and they'd probably win.

    It is not funny, Apollo.
    Ha, ha, that's an airtight case.

      I think the Raptors will have a good shot at Irving. Sacramento is playing very well and will pass them. Washington might pass them too based on the schedules each has. Of the Raptors 8 games remaining: 5 are against playoff teams, 1 is against a Bucks team that will probably still be in a playoff hunt, and 2 are against the Nets/Cavs. I think they'll only win the Cleveland game and lose the rest. Come draft time, the Cavs and Kings would definitely take Irving. Washington won't since they have Wall. The wildcard is Minnesota. I don't think they'll take Irving. Instead, I think Rubio is going to play for them next year. I see Minnesota taking Williams, Jones, or Barnes and teaming one of them with Love. If we get Irving, I think the rebuild really picks up. Calderon will be traded, likely for a SF or defensive centre. Then, BC will sign or trade for whatever Calderon fails to bring back in a trade. I would love to see Marc Gasol here but I can't see Memphis letting him go. So, perhaps we can make a push for Tyson Chandler via free agency. He'd be a perfect fit. Then, if we could get a SF who can simply shoot the 3 (maybe Gallineri), we'd be building a pretty nice young team. Keep your fingers crossed.
      I've read a few places that SAC is thinking Irving, Thorton, and Evans as PG, SG, SF. That would certainly be interesting on offense but defensively they'd be very small at the SG and SF.

        Will The Knicks Put A Stop To The Raptors' Siege On 3rd Worst Spot In The League?

        Washington continues it's recent "struggles", winners of two straight, and now have the Raptors knocking on the door to "greater" mediocrity as they are just one game back of 3rd worst team in the league. They hope to tie the Wiz tonight but Amare and the Knicks may have something to say about that:

        "It's mission accomplished"

            Did you say it was a slam dunk? No, I'm just saying that it's not a slam dunk. If there's a scenario by where Minnesota selects Irving, it doesn't mean we're gonna get Rubio. A lot of teams out there would like to have a kid like Rubio on their team..and would pay through the nose to get him. Minnesota's gonna want a lot.
            Let's trade them Bargs + Filler for Rubio + Filler. Bargs needs to play next to a great rebounder.

              How is third worst in the league and 21 wins mediocrity?

                I suggested this trade over a year ago.

                  I am of the opinion that a team finishing 3rd last with 21 wins is both inferior and poor when compared to most NBA teams. You don't agree with this?

                    The only problem from MIN's perspective, in my opinion, is while Love is a great rebounder, he is not a good defender by any means.

                        That's not mediocre, it's just straight up bad. Mediocre is what the Raps were with Bosh.

                          No thanks on Rubio, also (re: Bargs for Rubio). That guy's got baggage like Bush has a guilty conscience.

                            Mediocre:
                            rather poor or inferior.

                              of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate.
                              Which seems to be the more accepted definition. Mediocre is related to medium. A mediocre team would be the Pacers. I would not say the Raptors are barely adequate.

                                So he doesn't have baggage? I'm confused.
