I think the worst part of the season is that this team will probably finnish with a 5-10 draft pick, instead of top 3.
I think a perfect embodiment of the Raps lack of direction is: SIGNING OF KLEIZA.
Its a perfect move to become a treadmill team.
All this guy is going to drop the Raptors a few spots in the draft. I dont know how seriously to take that WinsProduced stat, but it doesnt take a genius to figure that the Raps with Kleiza will probably win a couple more games than Raps without Kleiza. A couple of wins could mean a couple of spots in the draft.
Beyond that, there is the whole effect of throwing off the rotations, and the whole "vibe" of the team. YOUNG GUNZ 4 LIFE!!! No but seriously, at least the whole Young Guns thing is an attempt of a team identity. A chance for the team to be greater than the sum of its parts. Like the Pistons from a few years ago. Believe it or not Weems and Derozan actually have chemistry on the court together. Kleiza just pushes Weems aside and for what? I get it BC, you can find solid players in Europe. What does bringing in Kleiza to start over Weems actually accomplish?
So yeah...they're not going to get the top pick, they're not establishing a team culture...and the guys at the top probably know this but would probably prefer making a few extra millions (somehow squeaking into 8th spot) than building a championship team
and that SUCKS!!!!!!
good night
