I'm surprised Carroll isn't 100% yet.

How is it surprising?

He's got knee issues. Had knee issues when we signed him, still has same knees.

With all the interest in this team especially from an online standpoint, MLSE continues to do their best to try and mess things up. I wonder if the Leafs have it covered?

I gotta assume the excuse is because they are in Vancouver and "don't have the gear" to put on a proper broadcast #absolutejoke #90%ofCanadaisontheInternet

Not in Vancouver till tomorrow.

As much as I love the guys on this team ... I do wish Masai had been a bit more aggressive in trying to improve the team this offseason.

He was aggressive but had some bad luck with the Pau Gasol signing and the Chicago trade.

We were seconds from having both Tony Snell and Taj Gibson for Ross and seconds from signing Pau.

Both fell through bc Wade chose Chicago and Duncan retired. There wasn't much else he could have done without giving up a ton.

Where are you getting the ?Ross for Snell with Gibson trade and Gasol signings?

I'm sick and tired of the Carroll injuries, it's one excuse after another with this guy and I'm in favor of trading him.

He didn't say he's injured again - just that he's still recovering - and the guy's made no excuses. He kept his mouth shut while we were all screaming for updates, and then rushed back from injury to play in the playoffs.

Carroll made excuses all year, and then afterwards too. I think the only time he hasn't brought up his injuries would have been in his free agent meeting.

For what it's worth, I think he's in the same health he was in on the day we signed him. He's not still recovering from a knee scope, it's that his knee's are just bad and swell when he plays. In his last year in ATL, he probably played through it because it was a contract year. It is what it is.

This is pretty much our team for the next 5 years. We have no choice but to grow within, our cap will be at 140 million next year

5 years is probably a stretch

Maybe it's time to stop buying that there was some freak accident that surgery repaired and realise this is just him. This is how he was when we signed him.

MAYBE SO - but I don't remember any of it.

Lowry looks like he's gained 10-15 pounds.

Sullinger looks like he's gained 100-150 pounds
