And before people start shitting on Bruno and his potential, remember, this is sports and it's fun to cheer for things.
Yay!Two beer away from being two beers away.

What scares me a little is the 389 avg for LA, the only other real big market in the league. I'm really hoping that the tickets are affordable, and if they rotate raps players in-n-out all year, I think they can average at least 3,000 to begin with. I also hope the staying-power is there, but they should thrive for the first couple seasons IMO.

This Mississauga team could be absolutely massive for our player development. Presumably they will share the Raptors' training facility?Last edited by SkywalkerAC; Thu Jun 25, 2015, 01:16 AM.

You get to watch Bruno, BeBe, Daniels (potentially), and our 2015 rookie on regularly and on the cheap? Consider me jealous, stuck here in Vancouver as I amOnly one thing matters: We The Champs.

This is great news!! Even better - from a personal POV, my buddy is good friends with the owner of the Mississauga Power CBL franchise. It looks like the Raps bought them out, so hopefully they stay involved with the D-League team so I can shmooze with the Brazilians. lol.

But this sounds good... how's the arena there anyway, if anyone here's been to a Power game?Axel wrote:Now Cody can stop posting about this guy and we have a poster to blame if anything goes wrong!!KeonClark wrote:We won't hear back from him.

Guess we could do meet-ups at DL games if the seats are cheap?
