Fair to put Rome ahead of them, quality of competition tho...

I think we have jim on hand to take over rather than poof that pick.

Yeah except for that time France conquered 50% of Europe and it took a coalition of all the other powers 7 different attempts to stop them. Prior to WWI, France had the most prestigious military history of any country, ever.

No idea who she is but she used the outdated lyrics.

Stupid Americans got our anthem lyrics wrong.

Tacky ass Cleveland fans booing All-Star intros.

Unchecked autonomy.

Just lol

He didn’t see them on the radio feed.

Happ was never very valuable as a rental chip, the problem was your expectations.

The only way to get Beal without taking Wall’s contract would be have to involve Siakam, and probably Powell and FVV to make the $ work. It wouldn’t make sense for the Raptors future. Wall is overpaid but he’s young enough that I think he’ll be an impact player again, certainly a guy you would rather have than Lowry 2 years from now.

I appreciate you not mentioning how you’re re-gauging my ******* this week.

A couple trades I’d be exploring to shore up our nucleus post-old-core: Kyle Lowry + Marc Gasol for Russell Westbrook + Steven Adams OKC would listen on this offer because it allows them to get out from under both contracts sooner and initiate a rebuild with cap space (and the billion 1st rd picks they got for George). Lowry and Gasol as expiring contracts would also allow substantial trade flexibility for OKC while very few teams have the bandwidth or risk appetite to absorb Westbrook. Kyle Lowry + Norm Powell + OG Anunoby for Bradley Beal + John Wall Another case where the team (WAS) would dearly love to get out from under a contract, Wall. Beal has lots of value but is the necessary ballast to shed the albatross, and the Raptors for their part wouldn’t mind dumping Norm’s salary. You bet on a long-term rebound with Wall here, obviously. These are the types of risks the Raptors will need to pursue if they don’t foresee many opportunities to reel in major free agents in the coming 2 offseasons. Risking it all to pursue Giannis in FA probably won’t pan out well, but these trades would allow the payroll flexibility to offer a max contract on Giannis anyway after the expiration of the Beal/Adams contract.

DeMarcus Cousins is f***ing terrible. He’s fat, he never defends, and his offensive game is outmoded. He was actually one of the biggest reasons the Raptors won (after KD and Klay) because the Warriors got annihilated whenever he was on the floor. His best role at this point is probably a second unit scorer, his days of being an impact player are over.

I would rather see my team win one championship than have LeBron for his entire career with no chips. I’ll always have love for Kawhi and I’m honestly just glad he didn’t sign with the Lakers because that would be terrible for league parity. The Clippers should be a really fun team to watch and I’ll be rooting for them to win the West. An all-LA WCF would be awesome to watch. The Raps will be a playoff team this year and then tear it down, c’est la vie. That was going to happen anyway if we didn’t trade for Kawhi and we’d have nothing to show for it. I won’t let this departure obscure the fact that this championship could be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Absolutely wrong. We could only re-sign Kawhi due to Bird rights, not cap space.

If I’m Masai, I’m trying to trade for Westbrook now. Expiring contract (Lowry?) + Anunoby + future 1sts.

There’s no money to spend, the Raptors are over the cap. More importantly, there’s no one left to spend it on anyway.

Degenerate gambler.

Get a room.

silvergun who do you regret trading to me most: Devers, Torres, or Dahl?

Ownership is an illusion borne of man's narcissism.

He's only been failing since he was 8?

Law & Order SVU s*** right here

Get your facts straight, he didn’t know 1B McKay was owned. Talk about exaggerating for effect...
