LOL! Just trying! Thanx man!

Get off the crack man. That’s a horrible trade for the Raptors. Nice armchair GM skills.

Screw that man, I was singing praises and jumping for joy when they decided to get rid of TJ. I was ready to break out the champagne. It’s a classic case of addition by subtraction.

I still maintain that the Raps are 1-2 swingmen away from being legit. I don’t know if y’all realized this last night, but the ONLY two players that went to the hole were JO and Bosh. Their wing players are strictly jump shooters who don’t handle the ball all that well.

Luckily for them, JO and Bosh can draw double-teams down low and with good ball movement they can find open shots on the wings, but when the shot clock is running down, they look a little lost because they don’t have anyone who can attack the rim. They either throw it in down low or take a long contested jumper.

I’d hang on to Kapono and Parker, who are both good to start or come off the bench. Moon is ok, but I like him more as a defensive specialist type of player. Joey Graham is well, pretty much useless. He’s been in the league long enough now and it’s clear he’ll never be a rotation player on any team.

They don’t really have any assets to trade for an upgrade at the wing positions, besides Bargnani, but it wouldn’t make sense to trade him at this point, so they’re pretty much stuck rolling with this roster.

They’ll make it to the second round of the playoffs, maybe the Conference Finals if they draw decent matchups, but I see them progressing this year. They’re taking another step, but I still think there’s one more step before they’re actual contenders.

I’m afraid Joey Graham isn’t going to fulfill his potential. I played a few pickups against him in Vegas a few summers back, the guy is a legit beast, but he just hasn’t put it together in the league for some reason. He has all the athletic tools to succeed, but mentally he just doesn’t put it together.

Here’s to the Raps hitting up the Eastern Conf Finals!

The Raps are pretty good but are you forgetting a certain World Champion in their division? Still looking forward to CB4/JO and Calderon dethrone them but think they might need a few more pieces. BTW those black jerseys are pretty badass!
