Meh. I think PP will stay as well. He's a smart dude.

Vasquez is the one that i can't get a read on. He kept saying that he wants to return. But he also kept saying that he's a starting caliber PG in this league.

The acquisition of LouWill i think is going to affect GV's playing time assuming he returns. It's going to be interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes elsewhere.

What difference does it make what any team offers a RFA other than money? The player has no choice if his team decides to match.

Who courts RFA? He probably stopped to use the washroom and now he can't leave.

If they want to start him they're valuing him more than the Raptors are and so they may be willing to pay him something outside MU's comfort zone.

Been refreshing my browser every 10-15 minutes for the past couple of days.. took a 2 hour break and wham! Good news overall.. would have preferred $44M/4yrs... but I'd rather have $48M/4 over $55M/5.

Not a fan of the ETO but can't really complain.. needed to give that extra incentive to get him to sign.

Oh and Fuck You Houston!

I am hungry. I wonder if hell has spicy food?

[GLF]

WOOOOOO!!!!!! Thank God I was wrong!!! I am so happy right now! Now time to get PPatt and Vasquez locked up! In Masai I trust. Get it done!

Have you been to new Amway Arena? It is very nice facility for both fans and players.

Doesn't matter. If Orlando makes a reasonable offer Toronto matches. If its a stupid offer like the one Gordon signed Toronto doesn't and Orlando has their second dumb contract. They don't need to court 2Pat.

Orlando wouldn't do that

[ceez]

I'd rather have Harkless

That's true. I don't think they would want two very bad contracts on their team. Also they don't need Patterson that badly. I don't even know why they are after him at all.

Patterson is a very niche guy. On a contending team he is invaluable at the 4. But on a tank team he's a guy you can't start and whose production drops the more minutes you give him since he needs to also rebound, defend etc.

[big boi]

So happy Kyle signed. Great news forthis franchise. Pivotal. Raps have a very good foundation and should be very competitive for years to come. Whole new ball game. And Masai is the kind of GM every sports fan wishes their team had. We're blessed he chose us.
