When will we read " Player bought out and is seeking to sign with the Raptors "

and I think they would come here over places like Salt Lake City, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, etc...

I think we've elevated to "mid market" now. Same tier as the Atlanta, indy when good, detroit, Houston. .

Forever and always behind new York, la Miami

I agree too - "small markets and Toronto" was meant to be two separate categories but maybe wasn't too clear.

I think the All-Star game helped, the Raps current success helps, and even Drake helps. That all raises the profile of the city in the mind of your average American NBA player - just not enough to compete with contenders and destination cities.

I liked this for the bolded, because its true.

But I don't agree Toronto is a "small market"... we're just a disadvantaged market ... Lol


Although, technically the OP did happen with Bennett...

Yeah, some Italian team might want him.

Not even.

The Washington Generals, maybe.

Sounds like the worst named Law firm ever ... Haha

Only when they're contenders.

Destinations like NY, LA, or Miami will always get consideration. Cities with great traditions and good size like Chicago and Boston are on the next level unless they're currently terrible. Small markets and Toronto are at the end of the list - gotta be contenders.

Open question: if we were to waive Bennett; would we be able to sign him to our D League team (I think Philly did something similar this year)? As I'm pretty sure they want him back for next season and I still think he's a cheap low risk; he reward type player.

I think there is a decent chance if we waive Bennett he doesn't clear waivers. He's on a min contract for the rest of the season. Some team like Philly or whoever will kick the tires on him for that price.

*sad face*

Which team should Joe Johnson sign with?
