On the Raptors he'd chuck us out of games.

So I guess they'll move Stone to the 2 if they sign Nate?

Give him the rest of the MLE.

Stone didn't pass physical.

Can we just sign all the available 2nd/3rd stringer point guards available so that we don't have to go through the same tiresome news everyday?

I'd take him on a two year deal with the second year being a team option. He brings intensity and energy to the bench, which is something we lacked last year

On the real if his ability to run the pick and roll and set up the team offense wasn't some prolonged fluke in the playoffs then I'm up all for it.

PG CONTROVERSY! But many may argue he is better than Lowry.

Yesssss been waiting to hear this Nate is what we need coming off the bench tough and raises intensity of game his engery he brings and hustle make him valuable even when his shot isn't falling. Hope he signs

Ok surprised it hasn't been said yet but this a definitively non-tank move.

How much can we offer him? If it is minimum I would think he would go to a contender.

Sorry I'm calling this out.

If it's not Wolstat/Stein/Woj I'm not believing it at all. (Wolstat isn't on the same level as Stein or Woj, but I trust him more than the other media types in TO.)

Makes zero sense after we just poached a pg from Thunders system.

Lowry/Robinson
DeRozan/Ross
Gay/Fields/Novak
Johnson/Hansbrough/Acy
Valanciunas/Gray

If we add a better back-up 5, the Raptors could actually be pretty interesting to watch this year.

EDIT: I've been looking at the source. He's not very credible. Most of his inside sources come from following Woj, Broussard, and others...

Damn you Zeno!

Would like Nate here. With a solid C backup our 9 man rotation might not be horrible. Nate, Ross, T.Han, Novak. Not amazing, but not horrible.

I agree with this, though.

Robinson's probably going to bet paid above what we can really offer.

Also, I'm fairly certain the new PG signed because he was given the role of back-up to Lowry.

Could see him stealing minutes away from Ross
