UPDATE: Gay to Raptors agreed in principle MERGED

[Porn Player]

Didn't the new agreement rectify that? (question)

The gulf between 8th and 9th seed in the East is large, not to mention they're competing to get handed by the Heat/Knicks come Playoffs. Gay is making no difference to that equation.

He is similar to DD as well, he struggles with the same facets of the game. (outside shooting, D, ball movement)

Yes, I'd say a guy with a usage rate of nearly 24, firing up more than 15 shots a game, with an aFG% of .455 and below average scoring efficiency is a chucker. You might have some different definition, but high usage rate, poor shooting, below average scoring efficiency players are the definition of chucker in my book.

On the other hand, would a core of Lowry/DD/Gay/JV be enough to attract FA'S to Toronto?

Complicating matters is Colon Jello's refusal to deal an existing pick for Kyle Lowry. As a result you guys still owe a lottery pick to OKC, which makes this trade more complicated. (And for the record I am eternally grateful to Colon Jello for outsmarting himself, because had he given in and sent his 2012 #1 to Houston for Lowry in a draft day deal I would be pulling my hair out while watching Namrepus stink up the joint, instead I get to enjoy the Beard.)

Yeah, I believe that the new agreement contains a provision to compensate the guys that play for Canuckian teams (just in case a franchise ever does go to Vancouver again) to help ameliorate the tax issues.

Do you honestly believe he understood anything you just wrote?

Munro. Can you please give us a comprehensive list of all your nicknames so that we know who the **** you're talking about.

Alphabetical order and double spaced please. Thanks big guy.

How the hell could you not know who the Beard is? Have you not seen a Houston home game at all this year?

Beard is easy. Colon Jello?? Namrepus?

I honestly believe that he doesn't pay a lot of attention to the NBA outside the Pacers and likely had no clear idea about DeRozan aside from the fact that Raptors fans, on the whole, seem to love him. Now, DeRozan might be willing to accept a backseat to Rudy Gay, but Gay's an even less efficient scorer (and unlike DeRozan doesn't have an excuse given how good that Grizzlies squad is), and I just can't see that situation not coming to a head sooner or later. Hence the joke.

How could a Lakers fan not know what the inverse of superman is? You guys have to watch it nightly. As a Celtics fan I find it painful. I can't fathom how you guys tolerate it.

Ha. Adam trying to call out basketball smarts.


Maybe he should write it in a failed math equation. That's what you like isn't it Adam? Failing to do even high school level math and then throwing a tantrum?

Go check the Raptors game threads I've posted in. Hell go check the majority of game threads.

15 shots a game and you call him a chucker. That's ****ing hilarious EH. Keep spouting like you're a basketball guru though, and keep waiting for no one but R-Star and pathetic "Me Too!" Adam respond to them.

[R-Star]

Was hoping EH or Adam would come back, but I guess not.

Sure Derozan is tied for 22nd in the league for attempts, while being the leading scorer on his team, but hes a chucker.

He should be more like Paul George, who's universally praised.... oh wait, they take the same amount of shots per game, but Derozan averages more points at a better shooting percentage. Crazy.


Some times I just shake my head at the handful of posters around here like EH who thinks just because hes a blowhard it somehow speaks to his basketball knowledge. I've seen well over 10 Raptor games this year, but hey I'm sure he's seen more than that.

DD a chucker? lol. I'm not a huge DD fan, but calling him a chucker is a little strange.

Colon Jello = BC GM of the Raps for those who were wondering

25th FGA
74th FG%
169th TS%

Yes, that's the guy you want taking the most shots on your team and burning up a quarter of the available possessions. No, really.
