Toronto fire sale coming up?

BassMaster · Post #61 » by **BassMaster** » Fri May 2, 2008 8:17 am

Back to the real thread does anyone see Mitchell out and 'Toni in as the Raptors head coach considering the situation with the GM's. The GM that hired 'Toni for the Suns is now the GM for the Raptors and he would most likely like to have his own coach in not like it is now.
And twice the Raptors have fallen in the first round in a row. And since the current owner of the Suns and his GM also seem to want to blame the head coach that they inherited for the Shaq mess that has really screwed up the Suns to the point that they nearly got swept in the first round. It truly sounds like they want him out and use him as the fall guy to the fans.
So what do y'all think????

That seems like the most likely scenario if he leaves Phoenix, IMO. Don't be surprised to see Chicago or the Knicks make a run for him and Avery Johnson.

All of this garbage lets people explain why they don't like Redick without coming across as an .............................
So none of what you posted explains why he is considered one of the best players out of the NCAA's in a long time. Some call him a pure shooter, others like your self just call him...............

Otis Smith see's the value of Redick and has stated that much, oh I forgot you consider Smith an idiot as well.
I guess no matter some out their will just hate Redick, mostly because he is everything they wish they could be.
I say given the chance to play (meaningful minutes) Redick will not disappoint and there are many more who also support this statement and I am not just talking about Duke fans.

Are you joking. Your response to my response is JJ is great in college. Do you need the list of great players in college. Do you realize this isn't college. Go look at some of JJ college games He having big games against 6'3 Sgs. He playing in a league with a short 3 point shot. Duke force fed him the ball because outside of Shelden and him they had no one. What was the book on JJ in college? Put a tall long athlete guy on him and he struggles. Remember the LSU game. He couldn't do anything against a freshman SG just because he was longer than most players he had played that year. Players that the NBA is full of. The fact is if JJ ever to do anything he needs to find a way to play against PGs.

Someone asked me who was the one who hijacked this thread and I said it was Richboy and here you go again. This thread is about Toronto and the chance of a firesale .
If you want to debate me or anyone else about Redick why don't you start a new thread instead of hijacking this one.
And yes if you do that I will respond to your posts otherwise this is about teams that have lost and who do you think is going bye-bye.
And no I won't respond to your post here since it does not deal with this thread now if you transferr to it's own thread I have a lot to say, but not here.

Right now Toronto's GM is saying that they are sticking with Mitchell, but I still have to wonder if that is going to happen if the Suns force 'Toni out.
Me thinks that the GM and head coach of Toronto are so full of sh......t. yes I am mad at him, but not that mad and all that.
I can say one thing 'Toni will be the biggest thing that hit coaching if and when he is forced out. He may become the first coach to get whatever he wants money wise. Now that is refreshing.
Now this is what this thread is all about.

Snake said he wants Kapono.

Kent said we have Kapono his name JJ.

I said JJ can't get his shot off like Kapono.

Pretty much all 1 sentence post

You then went on for a few paragraphs about JJ is same as Kapono. Otis reason for not trading JJ. About not needing a SG and getting a big in the draft. What we will do with the MLE.

Now who hijacked this thread?

I agree with you cougar, D'antoni's gonna be a valuable asset the moment he's on the market again. Toronto looks like destination #1 right now.

The italian media (D'Antoni has strong italian ties even today) has been talking for months about a rift between him and Kerr, looks like Phoenix is just picking the right moment to fire him and the right substitute to make the new squad look good.

Oh and leave Richboy alone, he likes to take over threads with his three (count'em) arguments: JJ, Shard's contract and Otis.
