The Toronto Raptors Thread

[Deerkeeper]

Bumping a thread that hasn't been posted in for nearly two years, but the Raptors are playing some descent basketball of late within a weak conference. Seems that trading Rudy Gay has had a positive effect on the team as it has allowed guys like Kyle Lowry and Terrence Ross to break out of their shells a little. We'll see if it keeps up.

The fact that no one has posted in two years and no one has responded in relation to your post tells you all you need to know about the level of interest that exists for the Raptors and the NBA.

I follow the Raptors, just like the Leafs. Not at the same as level as I do the Argos, I just don't see the need to post anything.

OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY!

FYI, I know some of you don't care, but the Raptors landing Kawhi is a major deal. He is a top 5 NBA talent, in my opinion, probably top 3!

Hard to say that definitively when he only played 9 games last year. It will also be interesting to see if his stardom is for real, or if he just played on a good team, with a great coach. If he doesn't play to to the level people are expecting, or even leaves after the year, bad trade. A team like the Raptors, who never have been able to land an elite free agent, really can't afford to give p their number 1 pick for a 2nd consecutive year.

Definitely a gamble with this deal, Leonard’s health and attitude could be an issue as he has stated he has no desire to play in Toronto.
DeRozen has been a model citizen in Toronto and will be missed.
Disappointed to hear the Raptors told DeRozen he wouldn’t be traded then turn around and deal him, bad optics on that one.

Enjoy him in a Raptors uniform for 1 year.
