Everything Raptors 905's

[Puffer]

Just bought Courtside tickets to the Regular Season Home Opener on November 19, 2015 against Maine. I'm pumped for this.

I'm really contemplating making the trip from Peterborough. It would be an ugly 2 - 2 1/2 hour drive, but it would be kind of cool to be at the first game.

Sim Bhullar has been traded to the 905 for Ricky Ledo according to twitter.

When did the 905 have Ledo ? Why would you trade Ledo is Sim? DLeaguer can be traded?

Expansion draft.

Why would you trade Ledo is Sim?

Cause Ledo has probably very slim chance to make it to the NBA, so the Raptors don't really need him while Sim will be used for a great PR stunt, attracting more attention and fans to the 905 just because he is a giant (East Indian) Canadian.

DLeaguer can be traded?

Apparently so.

We got sim?


Yeah!

Do you understand the amount of Indian people there are in Sauga and Brampton that are probably jumping through the roof right now? lol This could mean sell-outs for every game!

I'm not Indian or SE Asian but I really think the ethnic effect isn't as large when the player isn't very good.

I think it is more circus effect than ethnic.

Dude is a giant among giants in a giant's game.

I'd pay 5 bucks to see a really fat 7+ footer gasp his way up and down the court. Probably bring kids just to show the effects of overeating on a human body

Maybe not, but the guy is from here so all those people he grew up with will likely make some appearances now, which they may not have made before.

I was half joking in my post anyways.

[Cody73]

All I care is that we got a guy who for all we know could be a beastly player.

Really like the idea of gathering fringe Canadian talent on the 905. Good way to support Canadian hoops with no real opportunity cost.

Pretty much this.

Plus the added bonus of potentially drawing more of an audience and encouraging more people to play.

I've only just learnt that the D-League can trade players. They can trade draft picks too?
