@Vijay
I really liked Parker too, but I think it mightve been the right time to let him go.

And the trade is now official. I would like to keep Roko too, I loved how he always looked to drive to the basket. He just needed a bit more time to finish those layups. I still remember that game where he finished off the Spurs; Tony Parker had some nice things to say about his performance and I’m sure the Spurs organization in general have him in their radar.

Not sure if I should write this @ “The Real Tryrone” (his handle) or “The REAL Tyrone” (his signature), but two things:

1) Pick a way to spell Tryrone/Tyrone.

2) UltimateRapsFan4 is giving you a run for your money in the English department. I’m not sure if I prefer Thug-English or Idiot-English at this point. “Are” and “our” mean different things….

WHAT ARE THE RAPTORS TRYING TO DO HERE

Roko Ukic can be 1 of the next big things out of europe if they can put work into him. Why do they need amir johnson, like hes a nobody but if we can land sonny weems that will boost are team in a big way because that dude can Flat Out SCORE

Im excited to see the raptors next season

This is a complete overhaul of the roster. This is a good trade, we were never going to see Delfino again, and with Jack Ukic becomes expendable, on top of that, we keep with the attitude of bringing in some noneuros with a little bit grit, rebounding etc.

It’ll be a very interesting season regardless.

WTF is a glasseater supposed to be? ain’t them ones they show on ripley’s eatin’ blades, bulbs and those shit? so uncool…

anyway, nice intro @ brown… kinda funny, but it’s the way of the hood, holmes… jus bear wid da ish ya hear…

and poor amir, mad talent, low hoop IQ will only bring you this far… i hope he gets 15 a night, block a couple, board some and score some… anyway, since bosh is an injury waiting to happen, he’d get his starts…

why would the raptors do this? Delfino is a legit player while Amir is total garbage

Apparently true thugs can barely speak english.

This is a minor move, but a good one. Ukic wasn’t going to see much PT, barring injuries, and the Raps have Marcus Banks on the books for 2 more years at about $4.5 million per. How much value can you really place on a 3rd-string PG?

Getting a young, athletic big man in return isn’t a bad deal. The Raps have seriously lacked athleticism for years now, so any move to address that issue is a step in the right direction.
