Raptors Interested In Rashad McCants

[Apollo]

I believe this is not the first time that Rashad has been mentioned as a possible player to be added to the roster, and you know BC once he likes someone he would continue to pursue him.

I do remember trade rumors way back before he "fell from grace".

McCants is a shooter. That's all he really brings though. No harm in inviting him to camp. Let's see what he can do.

Didn't he date one of the Kardashians?

Pros: Rashad McCants very smooth, athletic guard with an amazing feel for the game. He’s a player with great scoring instincts, makes great decisions and passes the ball extremely well for a shooting guard. HE has excellent quickness and terrific speed running the floor. McCants handles the ball very well and is adept at creating off the dribble. He has been compared to Gilbert Arenas.

Cons: The major knock against McCants is his size, but he has the talent to overcome the height deficiency.

Isn't he like 6'4"? Undersized as a SG, but he can definitely fill it up and has a nose for the hoop.

So? what gives that you have to put a rumour in the main section, isnt there a rumour/trade talks section? and Its not even for a useful player, McCants??! wast of time honestly.....

even though everyone has already pointed this out to you and explained it.

um, i'm not quite sure. but, i would think one would know where stuff goes after 1496 posts and 78 threads created.

and it's a reality they are interested in mccants. not something im proposing. would you rather i post it in some other forum, so, you can be bored with absolutely no raptors news til the start of the season?

btw, the guy also tweeted he'd get nothing more than a training camp invite, so it doesn't mean that we are going to have to get rid of someone if he is signed by the raptors.

you don't know until you see him in training camp, so i doubt an invite is going to hurt.

Some people think so lowly of McCants in here. Alright, so if McCants is nothing special and has little potential then why on Earth would you be worried about him taking minutes away from anybody?

Jay takes minutes away from players, the players don't decide that. The Raptors managment have a plan and they're not exactly going to go out and sign a guy who hasn't been able to "get it" and throw him out there in place of guys they've pegged as "the future". If anything McCants is a young, high talent guy who could be stashed on the bench, monitored and one day given a chance when injuries or excessive fouls occur. At that point he either shines or flops. Worst case is you cut a guy without a guaranteed contract, best case is you add depth to your bench or an asset at the trade table. Given the status of said player right now I would deem him high potential if he reaches the best case scenario mentioned above.

No, no my friend, what you posted was not a reported news article, it was a rumour, a TWITTER RUMOUR.
So don't tell me whats reality and whats delusional. This is what you should have done:
