OT: Espn - Drummond could rank as 'greatest teen' in NBA his

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

We win a championship at some point with a Valanciunas + Drummond 4/5 pairing imo.

[sauga_raptor]

I swear people post threads about Drummond on this board like he is a Raptor. It's getting kind of annoying.

[BC_IS_A_PLAYA]

Terrence Ross pick just pisses me off now cause DD was resigned. Personally, I don't see neither as a SF.

With that said, DRUMMOND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RAPTOR INSTEAD!!!


Raptors win back to back championships in 2020 and 2021

... I lament every night not having Drummond.

TMI

Yeah this place really needed another Drummond thread

Maybe not, but you can't have enough "BC is an idiot and should be fired" threads. You really can't.

Agreed.

"We certainly recognized the extraordinary talent that Andre has," said Raptors G.M. Bryan Colangelo, "but the fit just wasn't right for our team given that we had previously drafted another young project big man in Jonas Valanciunas."

The arrogance and stupidity of this asswhole is mind numbing.

[JunkYardSubs]

Shame Colangelo had to give this franchise one last kick in the nuts before he left. Oh well

FORWARD

It is a bad quote. Seems like an oxymoron. Extraordinary talent and bad fit don't mix. I'm not going to sweat it. I've had my teams mess up picks so many times in my life. I don't have the energy to get upset any longer. But I never tire of watching an exec get fired. Especially suits hand picked by Stern.

Close this thread the drummond talk is getting old, get off his d***

I don't think it is. He's bragged about passing on a top 3 talent because he didn't have the right make up or whatever. BC is really this dumb and arrogant.

[bballsparkin]

Ya, I'm agreeing with you. But I can see how you read it the other way. I meant it's foolish for BC to have said this. "Extraordinary talent" suggests something the Raptors could most definitely use. So in that sense how could he be a bad fit.

But then again BC thought Bargnani was an "extraordinary talent" and he was a bad fit. And rarely brought the talent on the floor consistently. Anyway, need to sleep so I'm out.

[lucky777s]

I only opened this thread to see all the crybabys whine about another Drummond thread.

But I can't pass up this BC quote:

Truer words have never been spoken BC, you useless turd of a GM. God forbid we have two potentially dominant bigs on this team. What on earth would we do. The horror.

Maybe this is what BC meant when he said it is not a talent issue - we have none, so its not an issue.

Another 11/11/2 game for Drum tonight.

HHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHH AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Dr Positivity]

I'm thinking about how we drafted Euro with the 56 specifically because we only wanted 3 rookies on the team, presumably to make Casey's job easier...

Is it possible that's what's happening here? That BC is so incompetent that he'd draft based on something like "Well, we have a project big, and developing TWO would be really hard for our coach..."

[Hero]

Not only does Drummond have amazing potential and has had some monster game this year against quality opponents, he is also very consistent in his play. Every time I look at his performances I can't help but be wowed. At 8th pick we didn't go for the obvious choice and instead reached. Another horrible move for a horrible franchise.
