    Raptors killed this draft. Brazilian Kevin Durant, going to tear this league apart. :P

    Never bet against the Raps! :D I keed. Although they have won 14 of 15 against the T-wolves. Actually, and I know a lot of people will laugh at this, but Lowry is a HUGE add, and Valanciunas is going to be a key piece - they've been missing that low D presence, he seems solid. Also, now...

    I read Orlando also got 5 picks in this deal. Anyone got a breakdown?

    No kidding. Iggy, a jar of pickles, and a first rounder for Bynum is a sweeeet deal for Philly, massive if he re-signs. Cheesio, bro, I never said nadda about Iggy to Lalaland. :D Oh, and ALC, the Rapids are going to rock yo Shiksa's.

    :lol: Easily? Going to be a good matchup for sure. Couple good, but undersized bigs in Miami; really don't see them being able to handle Howard & Gasol. Anyway, forget Miami and LA. Going to be all about the Raps this year. Lowry, Fields, Valanciunas, and Ross - look out, world...

    :lol: Gasol, Howard, Kobe, and Nash in the same starting lineup? Good lawdy, I can't wait to see LA smash Miami.

    If you think it's silly, you might look into the Cavs history, how he left, actually watch the embarrassment that was 'the decision', etc. Then imagine yourself as a Cavs fan. The guy acted like a classless egomaniac. Fuck LBJ, fuck the Heat, and fuck the never ending string of bandwagon...

    That's all of it for me, right there. This guy showed absolutely zero class, or respect to the Cleveland fans with the way he handled his departure - it's tough being a Cavs fan, and being a local, he knows that. Didn't have to go embarrass them in that ridiculous spectacle, and rip their...

    :D Don't hold your breath, amigo. One of those is from early '08, and the other is a former player, speculating out of his butt. As for Domestic expansion, they're likely going to have to relocate a couple of franchises as it stands - and even after that, there are still a few more...

    Well teams will surely be relocated, but never outside of North America. You just won't see NBA expansion to Europe. It's a logistical nightmare. 82 games, man - teams are playing every 2-3 days. You can't organize a reasonably fair schedule with that type of air travel... it just can't be...

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news... but until teleportation becomes a little more mainstream, it pretty much is impossible. :D I would think the next step in this process might be something akin to the FIFA club world cup. That would be very possible, and kind of fun - although it would...

    He started the year well, but Sonny Weems was putting up about 17 ppg over November and early December, so Kleiza hit the bench. Sonny has been struggling for most of December, and the Raps have gotten tagged with a couple injuries, so Kleiza was recently reinserted into the starting...

    :lol: This Raps team isn't playoff material, but at least they're fun to watch again. Tons of youth, tons of athleticism... they could develop quite nicely over the next couple years. I always backed Bosh when he was in Toronto, but watching the team play this year, they may actually be...

    No way. Ed Davis will win ROY, and the Raptors will win the Super Bowl. :D Thanks for posting that Woj article on LBJ. Lot of interesting insight, a lot of inside information. Would be pretty cool to know his sources on a lot of that. Wall is absolutely sick, Sergio. If he...

    Maybe a little strong, but Odom is absolutely a must have for the lakers. He brings a TON to the table that isn't readily apparent by reviewing stats. Not many like Lamar in the league. Congrats Sergio, I'm reading everywhere that Odom's verbally agreed to a new deal. The Lakers are...

    Always liked Brandon Bass, he's very active, definitely physical, and I think he could really be an excellent player for Orlando. More potentially good news for my boys!! If this happens, and the Raps pick-up Delfino and Nesterovic, my team is going to be solid next season. Very solid...

    This is excellent news if it's true. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4314637 The Toronto Raptors and Dallas Mavericks agreed in principle Wednesday night to a complicated four-team sign-and-trade deal including the Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic that will land Shawn Marion in...

    Excellent news out of Raptorland, if it's true.... of course, some people here are going to slam this decision, but having watched his evolution during the second half of last season, and followed him closely since the time he was drafted, I have a lot of confidence that this contract will...
