He just saw a cat get run over.

Plus, it looks like he is a mouth-breather

He'll fit right in with Bargnani then.

Motiejunas on McHale saying Dwight Howard we'll show him the NBA way. 'He'll have to catch me.'

I love this guy!

clutchfans‎ Great press conference. Motiejunas dominated it. He's very confident. Laughed every time McHale called him "D-Mo"

Maybe it was an orphanage burning down in the distance. And it fell on his car.

The amount of knee-jerk reactions is just getting sad.

I am so happy we drafted Jonas V. I wanted us to get Kanter or Jonas before the draft.

When Stern said with the 5th pick, the Toronto Raptor select Jonas Valanucias. This was my reaction:

Why are you talking about Motiejunas?

Wait, so Val was in Toronto today? Is there video of the presser anywhere? I don't see it on Raptors.com..

For the record.. I don't hate this pick to the extent of bargnani. This was the 5th pick, not 1st. Also irving and williams were both off the board.

With that said, for now, i'm not a fan of the pick. I didn't want Val taken at all, I would've preferred knight or kemba. I hope Val turns out to be good because if not, it's just a 'new contract - new euro' for BC. :lol:

Look at what Bargnani has done to this fanbase LOL. I guarantee you if he gets traded everyone will start to love this pick. I wasn't happy at all last night but that had more to do with Bargnani than this kid. So I'm willing to give this guy a chance but please just please trade Bargnani for a point guard.

A source with knowledge of the negotiations confirms #Raptors reach buyout agreement with Lietuvos for Valanciunas. He joins TO in 12-13.

Im trying to look at this pick from some of our players perspectives. How do you think DeRozan feels right now when we could have drafted one of Kemba or knight? If our dressing room isn't already split euros/n.americans I feel it may be on the way of doing so.

Great news!!!

good news, now we'll be able to plan/proceed with a definitive timetable in mind, as opposed to the two years of uncertainty that has surrounded Rubio. Plus, if there's a lockout, we'll still be able to watch our boy play next year.

Are you happy with the Raptors selection 5th overall?
