Colin Cowherd on Toronto, DeRozan and Canada

[Niagara Raptor]

we have been called worse by better people ...

just another person far away from the organization taking a wild guess. Yes derozan may leave he has talked about how he loves the city ( which includes the weather ) loves the org and is very proud of being here during the dark times to turn it around to be a winning team

and winter people are the best people, always helpful to each other because thats what you have to do to survive in a harsh enviroment i would never want to be in a hot and sweaty place, full of bugs ( love that about canada, winter kills all the flies, mosquitos etc )

[Mapko]

I also want to add, the timing of this DeRozan to LA rumour or speculation is very strange. Stephen A Smith the other day and now Cowherd. Like, why now? this is a distraction.

Steven a (does a stand for asshole) Smith & this cowturd guy? 2 intelligent sports personalities w impeccable sources.
And somebody is concerned that their "opinions/views" match (Demar to LA)?
Really?
I am a lot more concerned about not being able to have a good dump this morning.
Please close the thread & move on.

Nope the idea should be to shift the offence to go through JV instead of DD and fill the 2 guard with a dead eye shooter who can defend. Buddy Hield type of player would be much more helpful than DD in that scenario. But I agree we absolutely have to resign DD for non basketball reasons.

Agree. If we let DD go, we don't do it so we can replace him with someone else who we're going to ask to be DD.

We do it to go a different direction with the team.

I can't imagine this team without DD after this year. Could you imagine the big hole we'd have to fill? And if Toronto isn't a big attraction to most free agents as most say it isn't, we'd have Ross to fall back on as his replacement moving forward. :|

Not sure if they have it anymore, but growing up in Manitoba we had a milk man who delivered bags.. sucked in the winter when there was ice at the bottom. Milk and ice don't mix.

Milk Men are real things?

[Apollo]

You mean Powell. Or maybe even Jamal Murray

Jamal Murray would make sense because he appears to have a bright future but also because he wouldn't turn his back on his home I would hope.

I'm still holding out hope that Wiggins will want to come back here when the time comes.

Seemed like a huge fan of NeNe and Afflalo back in the day too.

Role players < All-star.

The only way I see DD not being here is of he doesn't want to be here anymore.

I don't know. Masai seems like a man of his word.

[Barolt]

Have you not heard him speak about him before?

What's your control group for Masai talking about players?

Do you have a reference point for a player he doesn't hold in high regard? A player on one of his rosters that he's spoken ill about? Because I've never heard Masai speak ill of a player, so without that, it makes him talking up a player mean less.

[Bendit]

Have you not heard him speak about him before?

Yep, he stutters a lot. It's not his diction I speak of but rather like he has a hundred wheels seeking an elaborate layering in his answer.

Masais words mean nothing to me. He's a pro when it comes to word-poker.

Funny, I feel the same way about Casey but for entirely different reasons.

Teach me your face reading techniques, please?

[rocwell]

Yeah, I cant see it either. Masai hold DD in high regard. Two games isn't going to change that.
