I actually didn't realize how terrible Kendrick Perkins was. He was a decent bench scoring option/rebounder when he was with the Celtics but he's getting paid like he's a fringe starter now... when he clearly isn't.

 

At teh end of his current deal he will have earned approx 55M. Yeesh

Rumours

 

Magic - David Lee (tons of money)

Twolves - Aaron Afflalo +

Warriors - Kevin Love

That + had better be f***ing substantial lol

David Lee + Barnes + two first is the most realistic offer I've heard so far.

 

Though Jonas, Ross + our pick next year, as well as the Knicks 2016 pick should probably be just as appealing.

For the right to have Love to only one guaranteed year?

 

That's way too much. An extension would have to be signed immediately.

Ray Allen is incredible.

 

One of the GOAT jump shooters.

The Houston Rockets reportedly are willing to trade "almost anything" for New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony. Houston is said to have offered Omer Asik, Jeremy Lin and either a first round draft pick or Terrence Jones, according to Basketball Insider's Steve Kyler.

 

 

Houston is serious about their pursuit of Anthony, who can opt out of his contract and become a free agent on July 1.

 

 

"Houston would trade almost anything not named Dwight Howard and James Harden to get at Anthony and they would go all in on a contract too," Kyler wrote on Tuesday. "There has been talk that Houston has offered up Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin in a 'give away' trade that could include their draft pick in the first round or a roster player like Terrence Jones to get those salaries off the books."

Melo, Harden, and Howard

 

That has disaster written all over it. Two ball hogs and a guy who chokes consistently in crunch time.

Is this supposed to be an impressive offer? None of the players mentioned are bad by any means, but you'd think if they were so serious they'd have offered a bit more for a superstar.

[SpeedyGose]

Not amazing by any stretch but they could also lose him for nothing

Ya, I don't see him re-signing here.

 

Also, don't think we are a championship calibre team next season (which we would have to be since we are giving away our future completely in that trade)

 

Lowry

DD

Fields?

Love

Amir

 

with Patterson, GV, Hansbrough, Novak, 2nd round pick as our bench

Raptors are only scouting Ennis. The rest are undrafted guys.

 

Gotta think we're shopping the pick.

[SpeedyGose]

It was their first group of guys to come in. They don't scout everyone on the same day (not saying they aren't shopping the pick but you cannot make that conclusion from 1 group of prospects)

[jays_fever]

Ya, I don't see him re-signing here.

 

 

Why wouldn't he re sign here? It's a great market, great city, good team, would probably be a lock for top 4 for the next three years if he were in a raptor uniform.

 

For whatever reason people seem to forget that both Bosh and Vince signed long term extensions here and only left after they got fed up with the incompetent management.

 

It's hard to compete with the Miami's and Golden State's in the league in free agency but re signing our players shouldnt be an issue with this regime. That being said I still say go big or go home with Durant, next year

I've read he would only re-sign in chicago LA NY, I don't doubt we can sign big names, just this particular big name most likely wouldn't

Those are the teams that the media just spews out there for all the big stars imo. I think he'd be a great fit in Golden State as well and it's a easily a top 5 place to play.

Some of these guys ask some seriously stupid and redundant questions.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Damn amaazing comeback from OKC. Refs missed a blatant goaltend there though at the end.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Durant with the huge choke job. Terrible turnover.

[theblujay]

This is the finals I wanted to see. A rematch of last year's awesome 7 game series. Hopefully the Spurs win this time, but I wouldn't mind if LeBron 3-peated to silence the doubters.

Not that LeBron has to prove anything, but the Heat got bailed out big time by that Ray Allen 3, and the Spurs' major choke-job. It's historic how bad that ended.

[jays_fever]

Who doubts Lebron's talent? He just a giant ass wipe

I do! I mean the guy has not even saved the Loney Tunes from an Alien Race...... Call when that happens.

[jays_fever]

 

f***ing embarrassing. 5 K fines are joke. Suspensions should be mandatory and/or ejections from the game if the Refs catch them in the act

"Good news for Raptors fans in Vancouver and Montreal.

Toronto will play a pre-season game in each city in October, facing the Sacramento Kings at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Oct. 5 and the New York Knicks at Bell Centre in Montreal on Oct. 24."

Can't find where else to put this.

 

Adam Sandler is shooting a movie in Toronto right now. My exam had just finished and I was celebrating with a little bit of ball. Well, not 40 minutes after I get there, I'm ushered off the court in favor of people who appear to be Adam Sandler and Jonathan Loughran. They begin playing, and I totally didn't sneak a picture or anything nope not even two, and I'm just kind of playing on the other side of the gym, and then a guy I know gets there.

 

Sandler and Loughran finish up their game, and to the chagrin of the staff, challenge me and my friend to a game of 2 on 2. Not fully comprehending what was happening, I accepted. We went up 4-0 after I crossed Sandler over and hit a couple jumpers. Then they came back to beat us 11-8. We played another game and Sandler just took over, and we lost 15-2. Sandler and Loughran are great at basketball and even nicer. It was awesome. They were extremely classy and hilarious and great pickup players.

That movie is responsible for a lot of road closures DT, in particular around the building i work at. I remember being stunned by how stupid I thought the plot was as well.

 

I've heard Sandler is a pretty nice guy IRL as well, even if a lot of his movies are really bad

[GD]

Very nice. Very funny.
