Masai speaks! (And nothing is clear yet!)

If you've seen him play many times, then you'd know that Afflalo is a better shooter, rebounder and overall player than DeRozan.

What do I mean by a better clutch shooter? That he can make shots when the game is on the line, that's what I mean.

Better shooter i can agree with. Better rebounder? um they average the same amount of rebounds so i don't know where you get that from.

Like DeMar against the Pacers? I'd take DeMar at the end of the game over Afflalo anyday. He gets to the FT line at a higher clip and he can make tough shots with his length and athleticism

Evia99 I think has the right idea. Ross has all the tools to be something really good for the future of this team. He has a role that can perfectly complement other players, and that role will be needed if we ever want to compete. If we just sit on him then we win.

BUT, if someone comes along and offers us a ridiculous deal, then we look long and hard at the situation.

Afflalo does not fall into the 'ridiculous' deal part IMO. No one on here is suggesting that Ross for Afflalo is a good idea, however the argument has mostly been about who is better between DD and Afflalo. In which case Afflalo hands down is better than DD. There is no aspect of DDs game that he does better than Afflalo whether you like it or not, NoPropsNeeded.

As for the thread about the interview. I think Ujiri expected a bit of a honeymoon period, but I don't think he expected us to play this well. Overall he seems cautiously optimistic. He wants them to continue winning, but if they start to back peddle he is ready to pull the trigger and rightfully so. He understands that if one thing doesn't work then it is best to move in a different direction. Such a breath of fresh air from BC

Yea i still disagree so thanks. This is coming from the guy who think Gordan Hayward is more athletic than DeMar haha, gimme a break.

Yeah, You've never seen Afflalo play. It's cool. All you had to do was admit you haven't.

[mcHAPPY]

Fields and Novak for Affalo and Harkless....straight up.

In Masai we trust.

LoL

There is some extramarital blackmail pictures going on if that goes down.

Masai has the NSA on the payroll

[mcHAPPY]

This thread has gotten silly. You guys started out with relatively similar opinions and have dug in and seem to have shifted to extremes to make a point.

You haven't seen Afflalo play because if you had, you would know that the kid is a very underrated player and yes, you would know that he's better than DeRozan. You can say the same thing about me not watching DeRozan all you want. The Raps games are on cable and I watch all of them. I also have something called NBA League Pass, so I get to watch all the other games in the league and have had it for quite some time now.

Listen, I appreciate what DeRozan does for this team for what he makes, but he ain't better than Afflalo. Sorry.

Very true. banter on.

The idea of trading derozan for afflalo is silly, even if Afflalo is better. Fact is, he isn't that much better, at least not enough to take this team to the next level nor good enough to risk destroying the chemistry on this team. Demar has always been a Raptor and clearly wants to be here and win here. No one knows how Afflalo will gel with the team, nor if the team would respond positively to his addition and Demars extraction. It's a risk not worth taking. Furthermore, I would be willing to take the chance that Demar is better at 28 than Afflalo is now.

What people are saying about Afflalo...that he is a good player on a bad team are the same complaints many had of Derozan, except that now, people can't say that because this team is actually pretty good together. Derozan is now a good player on a good team.

I don't know what the problem is anyways, Derozan is a great player to have on your team, when are you guys gonna start cheering for this kid and stop harping on him. Give the guy some love!!
