Article on the Raptors and their extremely long term goal- Wiggins

[dineke]

Their real plan is actually signing lebron's grandson in free agency 35 years from now.

Wilson Chandler being "shopped hard" by Denver.... Go for it? How is his D? Would probably need to send Ross the other way because it'd create a logjam.

God their owner is such an idiot. He basically is running the show. If you get a chance watch the draft special with the Kings and witness how he overrules everyone in the room to get him.

lol what... did u even watch it..the 4 "nerds" all hyped Stauskas and everyone in the room laughed before they all him in mind.

He's still a control freak douche.

[z3r0s]

I like Stauskas coming out, what are the thoughts on him now that he's played a bit? I don't follow closely enough.

[GD]

Wow. Looking at his stats, he's been really, really, really f***ing bad.

[burlingtonbandit]

Basically all he can do is shoot the 3. And he hasn't been that good of a 3 point shooter so far in the NBA.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Redick is probably a fair comparison. He didn't get a ton of minutes early in his career but he was still a deadly outside shooter.

 

If you could get Stauskas for a 2nd round pick/expiring would you do it? Would be a cheap replacement for Lou next year (assuming they're going to make a splash on a big man). The guy shot 44% from 3 in college. It takes guys a bit of time to develop NBA 3 point range... Could be a nice project.

 

The Kings say they want a "legit big man" for him but I can't see that happening.

Nets in full tank mode

Lance to Nets

Jarrett Jack and Reggie Lamb to Hornets

Brook Lopez to OKC

[Horses Fart]

Im sure we're all hoping for a huge win tonight but whats everybody's true prediction....deep down prediction...LoL I'm going to say we win by 3 and that Korver misses a last second three to tie.

I really hope it doesn't come down to Korver taking a game deciding shot haha. This will be a nice test to see where we are at, after the lovely win over the sixers

[burlingtonbandit]

Vegas likes the Hawks by 1. Demar is the X factor here as IIRC he had a couple good games against ATL and the Raps offence was amazing in both games. Not sure Raps defence will be able to slow ATL offence though.

And what exactly is Cousins?

[Dr. Dinger]

When did we get Korver?

[labadee]

I think the raps can pull it off

[Orgfiller]

When did we get Korver?

 

We didn't, Korver is a guy you don't want taking the last shot because he'll likely make your team lose.

53% from 3 on nearly 6 3PA per game. Insaaaaaane

That's ridiculous, most NBA players wish they could be that efficient from the field alone.

[dineke]

Hawks are going to destroy the raptors.

[Dr. Dinger]

Damn, 50% from downtown is nuts. It seems like Korver has been around forever smoking treys.

[burlingtonbandit]

Mo Pete is pretty terrible as a broadcaster even if he is pretty new. All he has said so far is he likes Lou Williams because he hits "big shots".

[burlingtonbandit]

Raps offence taking terrible shots.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lol Ross has such an awful mid range shot. Gets blocked consistently.

[dineke]

Ross is f***ing terrible, they better not give him an extension.

[burlingtonbandit]

Probably not going to see Ross and JV much in this game. They're both overmatched on the defensive end and if they aren't doing anything on offence they aren't very good players.

[burlingtonbandit]

Atlanta is so good. You can tell just the way they play they're for real.

[burlingtonbandit]

Damn Hawks are really good defensively. Raps offence can't even get open looks.
