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

I don't get why we don't have enough love. People compare TO to big cities in the States a lot.

Who did you have in mind? Business associations, politicians, educators, cultural enthusiasts etc etc? Basketball players I am afraid belong to a different demographic. I dont want entirely generalize obviously. eg. If you asked the Gasol bros. about Toronto and Canada, inclusive of basketball or not...one is likely to get a nuanced and knowledgeable answer. In a word its...priorities.

We're not hard capped - we are not even in the tax. We could offer the minimum, which is probably what everyone else is offering.

Considering Philly just ate $12M to buy him out (this season and next), I'm pretty McGee will be fine with the minimum.

Can't see SA. Pop and McGee just don't match. Houston seems logical.

Raptors are also hard capped with no exemptions I think

Rod Strickland comes to mind.

The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to waive JaVale McGee in time for him to sign with a playoff team. The San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Miami Heat are mentioned as possible destinations for McGee

the Raptors are 2nd in the conference but Heat on the list ...

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.
