The Argument For Tanking

Warning: This is another one of my epic columns, but try and stick with it because it gets into some never discussed territory (that I know of), and talks specifically about the Raptors’ situation. With the 2014 draft looking like it might get even better, and with many scouts and NBA executives saying there could be…

Overrated/Underrated/Breakout Part 3

At long last the third part of what I hope will be a yearly tradition. First, we looked at the five most overrated players, then the underrated, and this time we’ll look at 5 players who should break out next season. As with the other lists, who I didn’t put on the list might be…

Colangelo Out as GM…but not completely

Let’s say you go to the doctor. He says to you, “I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the deadly disease you had seems to be gone. The bad news is that it’s left you completely impotent and unable to care for yourself.” How do you think that…
