You listed a whole bunch of players that aren't on this team. What does Iggy or Deng or Landry have to do with the Raptors, unless new rumors (with credence) have surfaced?

and second.
Since when is JJ a "good defender"?. Just because he blocks , steals , and rebounds does not make him a good defender. So often JJ makes a good defensive play and then the next play down completely screws up on defense.
JJ's problem is that he is inconsistent on both offense and defense. Let someone else be his farm team for once.
Raps fans are way to into athleticism and not enough into actual basketball skills.

You all think so low of BC....give the dude some credit...he is trying with what he has...thats what a manager has to do.
WHen he lost on NASH...it took him less then 48hr to go to plan b.
This talk of past errors of JO or TJFORD stuff...was all handled based on the time and perspective.
BC has a plan...and he will execute. I know this because I work in the same building as him.
I'm the secuirty guard at the gate.
Peace outIt's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

Strengths:
--> Transition finishing
--> Athleticism/Energy
--> Decent rebounder for a 2 guard
--> Good teammate
Weaknesses
--> Shooting (even though he's been in the league for 3 season and as a solid work ethic, he still can't shoot. hmm...)
--> Defensive intelligence
--> Passing
--> Passiveness
I wanted to say he's got a strong work ethic, but the evidence is that he's been around for 3 years and still cant shoot. He also routinely disappears on O and misses assignments on D. These are signs of a lack of self-confidence (not something usually associated with a strong work ethic). I like Demar as a person and he could be a nice bench player/emergency rotation guy for a good team, but he's nothing to get excited over. His propensity to disappear and take nights off has not faded in 3 seasons.

DO NOT TRADE DD - he can definately improve with his work ethic
I would keep JJ as a spot starter or 6th man - he has skills, can defend and has IMPROVED his shooting
Remember, JJ barely played for the Bulls and TIBs so there must be some underlining issues.

And how did BC not see the Calderon situation developing? A lot of potential suitors have now addressed their PG situations, and BC seems caught off-guard that Calderon is unhappy, with very few trading partners left. Meanwhile, anyone with half a brain would've anticipated Calderon's reaction, regardless of how "professional" he's been in the past.

Moderators, get er' done.
just let the topics run their course and drop to the bottom when they lose steam.
If 2 threads are about the exact same thing and are posted at the same time.. go ahead and merge. But don't merge threads just because they are semi-related and you are a mod who can merge things. It's so frustrating to be involved in an exchange and then is just disappears because some mod decided the board wasn't pretty enough.

It also sounds like BC had been talking to Houston about Lowry since well before the draft, so I'm guessing he already had his contingency plan in place. I do agree that the Fields offer might have been a little high, but RFA offers usually are and BC admitted as much... it would have been a genius move had Nash signed and he could still be made to look good if Fields returns to the form he showed during his rookie season and improves on that each of the next three years.
I agree that I'm waiting for the next move with baded breath, but I think BC definitely has been following a plan this offseason, whether we fully agree with it (so far) or not.
