Tank aficionados need to realize that tanking doesn't happen until after the trade deadline. We're going to go into the season trying to win and make the playoffs. If it looks like we're gonna fall short halfway through the season, we start to deal players and go into tank mode. It's not going to happen in the preseason, or it would have already. I think this team will disappoint all the tankers and actually be a pretty good team. Everyone discounts what a beast JV will be this year like he won't make any impact on this teams wins and losses. I think just JV's improved play gets us into the playoffs. Adding improved play from anyone else (or bench improvement from new signings) is just gravy to get us a better seed. I predict 6 seed and I think we're gonna be a nightmare for the 3 seed this year.

Albeit right now he'll be backing up Amir, I bet that changes halfway through the year. I'm a Heels fan and he isn't as terrible on the offensive side as some say. Given PT, he'll do well here in Toronto. Book it."Stop eating your sushi."

Tanking is ridiculous. I wanna roundhouse all the Raptors fans in the throat who suggest it constantly.
So line up tank supporters. I'm limbering up right now.

Wow! I'm pumped about this. I've mentioned multiple times in here how he would be a good addition. He's small and speedy sort of like TJ. This was a good play by MJ because if DJ can turn it around then he could be a good long term backup PG if the extension then came.
I didn't realize he was still out there on the market.
