Free Agency 2013

[mcHAPPY]

Utah took a major dump but they were smart.

This is a great great great trade for them.

They took on dead weight in Biedrins and Jefferson but they also got a player in a position of need in Brandon Rush.

They also got multiple draft picks - including 2014 1st.

Lets be real: Utah is less of a free agent destination than Toronto at the moment.

They now have nearly $32M in expiring contracts (Biedrins $9M, Jefferson $11M, Rush $4M, Williams $7.5M).

They've only got $1.7M in guaranteed money next season with Favors and Hayward up for extensions.

I think Utah is in a good place DESPITE getting NOTHING for Millsap or Al Jefferson.

There's a better chance that we find that Rob Ford Crack Video than to see Millsap in a Raptors uniform.

I'm going through the list of prospects in Draft Expresses 2014 mock and although it's just a brief scouting report on each player I can't say I'm impressed. Would love to have Wiggins but it would be really dumb to strip away the entire roster for a 25% chance (and that's the best case scenario).

Randle has been mentioned but the guy does not have defensive fundamentals. I even mentioned Parker once since he was neck and neck with Wiggins, but he's dropped to 6th in their mock draft and hasn't played college ball yet. There are a few PG, but everyone in the league pretty much has their PG of the future already. If Toronto wanted one of those PG's in next years draft I'm sure they could trade in for it without having to tank.

I think Toronto's draft pick has more value then it then the player that they will end up picking with it. I say they sell high.

There is a lot of hype. No doubt selling now would be extremely high.

I see a lot of good players. There are four point guards I like: Exum, Smart, Harrison, Micic. All are 6'4" to 6'6".

Caused by free agency:

Rockets center Omer Asik has no interest in backing up or playing next Dwight Howard, according to sources. Could force trade.

Fixed it for you

Fuck, you actually did..

Val is a GREAT center prospect. We need a proven PF, though

If we do great. But i don't think its a huge need. If Valanciunas is developing the way i think he is, it's not going to be a problem.

Valanciunas!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is everyone forgetting Big V? Dude is the best Center prospect in the league hands down

Amir?

Valanciunas!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is everyone forgetting Big V? Dude is the best Center prospect in the league hands down. The man who surpassed David Robinson for highest TS% in his rookie season.

Which means that since 2007 both the Raptors (2007, 2008) and the Bucks (2010, 2013) have made the playoffs twice.

I meant the 07 season. Like 07-08 is the last time the raps did it.

Carter got injured, we sucked and drafted Bosh. Then we would have had Bosh and Carter, but carter dipped before bosh got good.

I am saying keep Rudy and get him his Bosh..

You don't build around one player. Unless, it's Lebron or KD. You form a team around 3 or 4 star players. Look at San Antonio, Memphis,Indiana, etc.

We have Gay, that's one. Where are the other two or three?

Ahem... Look at my profile picture

Amnesty doesn't mean we get extra money....
