    Ereka I think I found it, or it this case maybe figured it out.

    The Raptors want Johnson to come to Toronto before the draft to talk to him about 2010-11 including maybe what kind of minutes that they think they might be able to offer him. To get a sense from him if he wants to return or is looking elsewhere and maybe to even try and get a verbal commitment from him before the draft.

    I think it would make a difference in how the Raptors draft if Johnson is going to be returning or going elsewhere. So I think they called him to Toronto, and of course he is still under contract, to have a "meet" before the draft.

    I have heard that rumors are circulating, that about this "meet" BC has said.

    ya, you missed the u and it just sounds like your saying ericka.

    kind of funny.

    could be him finding out if he's staying or going or it could just be that he's going to some party or something in t-dot.

    Maybe Amir is coming for the Much VMA's? Or, I'd hope they could use him to show the org. that he can school nearly any big in the draft.

    Evans defense is about where A. McDyess's defense is.

    All they can do with any proficiency on defense is to stand within 5 feet of the basket and grab some rebounds. However, neither one has been able to guard anyone adequately or play adequate team defense for at least a few years.

    Though I will admit that when Evans was paired with Johnson Evans didn't look near as bad on defense just like Bargnani when he was paired with Johnson. Funny thing about that.

    If we sign Johnson and already have Evans, and sign a big like Udoh, we might end up with three defensive bigs + Bargnani. Bosh's scoring power needs to be replaced and if Turkoglu is out, it doesn't leave us with a lot of options anymore. Raps should buy a pick in the later state and see if they can get their hands on someone like Elliot Williams from Memphis.
    To associate Reggie Evan's with defense is to live a past reality.

    Evans today couldn't guard a fire hydrant if he was a dog that had just consumed two gallons of water.

    Could very well be.

    As I understand it their (shorty and shawty) meanings are slightly different with shawty having more of a sexual overtone. At least that is how I understand it.
    Shorty and shawty are the exact same word...just a regional pronunciation difference. Southerners say "shawty", a guy from NYC will say "shorty."

    In any case, refers to a hot chick...not necessarily any sexual overtones involved.

    I hope the raps do resign Johnson. Personally everytime he checked in I would get excited to see the hustle and energy he brought and I would love to see him grow more in T-Dot.

    By the way it appears that Johnson can't be extended at least according to the way I read the cap. A player who isn't under a rookie contract can not be extended unless they have a current contract of four years or greater. Johnson's current contract is for only three years.

    I think he's implying that all his shorties in TO better get ready to party.



    Edit: do people use the term shorty anymore?

    you kids and your music....

    Question:

    Since Johnson is technically not a free agent until July 1st can the Raptors offer him an extension this month?
