Toronto Raptors who are still playing Alumni thread ....

[guyroch]

Is it funny that Knick fans and media are talking playoff with Jose Calderon and Bargs on their roster ? Didn't we want them shipped out of town ?

Do you think Bosh can carry a Heat team on his back for 82 games and put them into the playoffs ... If he fails miserably will his HOF lock be questioned ?

Vince Carter top 25 all time in scoring .. He is 145 points from 24th spot and King James is 20 points behind VC and so Vince Carter maybe bumped out of 25th spot after just one game in the 2014 season ..

I will not be able to read another post from Apollo without doing my cheesy Clint Eastwood "Man with no name" imitation voice.

OG was a Raptors, so yeah.

I've never paid attention to what other teams do in these instances. By now I'm usually enjoying the weather or talking about the draft and FA.

This is the root of the problem for you here.
Every team I have ever heard of offers rings to players that contributed to the season while ON THE TEAM who are no longer on the team if applicable because they directedly contributed to the winning season. As an aside, they contributed more than bench players who were on the team but never or seldom played.

If you knew that, you wouldn't have been surprised or in disagreement with the normal routine and generous gesture.

Oh, my bad then. I must have misunderstood what was written, as I thought I was pretty much directly quoting your post.

Ah, yes. The championship parade is over and RR is back doing what RR does best. Finding something... anything... to argue about. lol. Off-season training has begun.

What did you say about DeMar DeRozan?!

You couldn't believe it was even real, it was such an outlandish idea to you.

I'm not bent out of shape. I made a statement. Keon asked a question. I explained. You guys came in for cross examinations. The judge concluded its silly to argue about someone's opinion of something.

So were the other guys, this season. But OG didn't play in the "real season," so why would he not be excluded as well? What about Chris Boucher?

Really weird thing to get bent out of shape about. The most standard operating procedure, a nice gesture, totally harmless and a feel good move for fans of the team who liked those players... But let's not do it... why, exactly? If it's just that you personally wouldn't accept the ring, then, well, the players can always refuse the ring, it's been done before.

I barely recognize you with the new avatar I keep thinking its mixxaor lol

Dude, I don't even recognize my own posts!! Lol

Might have to just edit the old one to include Lowry and LOB.

[Apollo]

Don't get me wrong though: much love for these former Raptors, especially JV.

[KeonClark]

I don't think JV would claim he "won" a championship though, even if the Raps give him a ring though... It's more of a gesture/"nod" to their contributions. Nothing more. And I think it's a great gesture.

Edit: Lol You literally just posted saying the same thing, so fair enough.
