But you know Rasho is a beast, and Marco is the same shooter in Kapono if you watched him before. And even you said DeRozan will be something nice, a lot of people thought he would go top 5.
The Cavs won't get 66 wins again but they are definitely a lot better now. Basically exchanged Ben Wallace Sasha Pavlovic, Wally Szczerbiak and Joe Smith for Shaq, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon, Leon Powe,
Yea, Rios you don't even know anything about Demar other then HIGHLIGHT video's, Sonny and Antoine are TRASH and Amir isn't anything either. Yes the Raptors got better but until you know a little more about the NBA and your team's players don't make a huge list of reasons why you'll be good.
I'm just saying when you compare them to the Lakers they would still most likely get beat
Marco Belinelli is not "easily" better than Jason Kapono. In fact, he's not better at all. Jarrett Jack is a good addition, everyone else you named is an IR quality player. And yes, the Magic did get better. I didn't say the Raptors didn't... but you've succeeded in turning this into a conversation about the Raptors, and to that I say, congratulations. And lol DH34, Craptors. I think that's my new name for them...
Haha that's so funny, I don't see the Magic getting close to the finals next year. And DeMar DeRozan should be good Pugz, I looked over ESPN, Highlight videos, and scouting reports on him.
How is Rasho is IR type player? And Pugz, what do you mean until I know a little bit more about the NBA? I've been watching the Raptors since I was little.
Just because I don't know he is doesn't mean I can't search up things to see if he's going to be good, so I'm excited about him. And I don't believe VC replaces Hedo honestly.
So your telling me Hedo did nothing to help your team, I would've thought losing Hedo all along would effect the Magic, trust me, they aren't going far this year. We'll have no trouble going .500 this year.
Obviously losing Hedo hurts, he was a key part of the team. I wasn't inferring that we don't need Hedo, but statistically speaking, Vince Carter is better, and unless he becomes a cancer, the trade will work out. Every other spot on the roster has also improved; Pietrus was already better than Lee and is now starting again, Barnes takes Pietrus' 6th man role, Bass jumps Battie, Gortat is back, Nelson is healthy, Ryan Anderson is another shooter off the bench, etc, etc, etc! Like I said earlier, as long as Vince can buy into being a part of a team, the trade will work wonders. If not, it will backfire but the Magic had to do something this offseason because Hedo didn't want to resign.
I don't see how they aren't a .500 team... Jarret Jack is as good as TJ Ford like I said earlier, and this could bring back that duo that TJ Ford and Jose Calderon had. We made the playoffs with this starting line-up.
I know. Toronto's goal is to get out of the first round for once, the fact that he's saying we aren't at least a .500 team is bizarre.
No I'm not, did I say they would finish first or something like that? I'd like to see us finish 6th, i'd like to face the Magic.
Rasho had a big impact on our team when we were a playoff team, Jack is identically good to TJ Ford, Marco Belinelli has a Kapono shot. I was just saying all the players we acquired to play on the bench, plus I don't think Amir will get that much Playing time.
DeMar Derozan isn't much right now, the kid is a project and shouldn't be expected to do anything big right away. Marco Belinelli is an average bench player at best, I like Jarrett Jack but he's nothing too special, Bargnani's hit and miss and their bench other than the two guys I just named is terrible. I mean come on, Rasho Nesterovic? Do I need to call up Stephen A. Smith to tell you about Rasho Nesterovic?
