Right. Let's ignore the fact that he made a blockbuster trade 15 games after he took over the franchise. That was in mid season.

I would be shocked if he did anything hell this guy lives on the fence , ever since he got here he still hasen't told us if he is rebuilding , going for it , or just retooling . He seems to want to do all at once and if you try to do everything at once you tend to do it all half assed .


I'll never understand why people expect GM's to tell them anything relevant. Why the **** would they?

He did say we would never be a treadmill team under him was that relevant ? Funny ever since then that's exactly what we have been .

I was told that losing Lou would be addition by subtraction.

People are comparing Terrence Ross to Tim Thomas now? Yes Thomas didn't live up to the hype but at least put together a few good seasons in the NBA...Terrence most likely won't even be in the league anymore when his undeserving contract runs out in 3 years.

Getting blamed for the bench problems on this team :lol:

Not from me though... I still like him... but apparently Raptors think he is meant to play offence :D

His offense is 100% setting screens and getting offensive rebounds. I noticed that he's magically become a very good foul shooter though- he showed significant improvement halfway through last season, but yeah his offense is basically set screens and GTFO. How's his defense?

I've liked his defense so far in general, it's been quite good. He's had some good blocks.

He seems to have a bit of trouble defending much taller skilled bigs, but other than that he seems to be doing fine. Pretty good help defender too, I think he's altered a lot of shots based on my eye test...

Offensively he's also grabbed a ton of boards, really nice activity there. Just the Raptors seem to think passing to him is a good idea down low, but he's not a finisher.... so he's getting quite a lot of "butterfingers" hate for this :P

I bet someone here disagrees so take this all for face value :wink:

But I still like his signing :)

Yup that's pretty much what he was here, and something we sorely lack right now :lol:

At what point do we admit the core is TERRIBLE?

Its not the bench players constantly choking and not closing out games
