pretty much this.

its annoying considering I would think Toronto is a large market but treated like a small market in free agency.

At this point we really should be focused on the up and coming Canadian players and trying to get more than 1 on the Raptors.
Jamal Murray, SGA, Clarke, Dort, Powell, Birch, etc.
I’d be nice if a Canadian would force their way here but the league wouldn’t allow it and the players are probably too polite.

Kelly Olynyk is a FA next year. I'd offer the MLE for 4 years with no raises since he'll be 30.

Not sure if Miami brings him back since they now have Adebayo and Precious Achiuwa.

Olynyk would actually be a good fit for this years team and would be a decent replacement for Ibaka but with a slightly different game.

If you want a reliable backup big (though doesn't shoot 3's) could use the BAE on Khem Birch. It might be his last non-min contract so taking the BAE for 2 years might be enticing. Unless Len pans out, who is bigger.

Durant is such an amazing player to watch. This guy could play well into his late 30s, early 40s if he wanted to.

Tall like Larry Bird as long as his back doesn't fail him. No one is blocking his shot even if he's set shooting.

And people on this board still doubt them. Between the Nets, Bucks, Heat, Sixers, and Celtics, I don’t see how we’re getting HCA.

Oubre and Wiggins combined are much more talented than Klay. Kelly will defend the PG for him ala Klay.
Stephen Curry has ZERO excuses this season (+ Wiseman). Let's see if he is/was a real MVP.
I have always thought Klay made him; let's see if I am proven wrong.

Looking forward to these opening games. Should be good.

Wiseman starting at center for the Warriors.

Imagine if he is actually an NBA Franchise player type of talent. Never got to see him play against NBA calibre talent yet. we'll see, tonight.

Feel bad for Curry an. Klay changed the complexion of this team so much.

Wiggins Sucks LMAO

KD and Irving looking amazing on offense. I was wrong, Nets might win the East

no one in the east is stopping KD. He is by far the best player in the conference.

Warriors would have been a no brainer for a top 4 spot if Klay was healthy. they have Oubre and Wiggins + Wiseman who doesn't know his own ceiling.

ya, thats a big NO to Wiggins in any trade.

Brooklyn has some massive firepower that no one in the East can match. I can see them shipping out Levert or Dindwiddie for a defensive wing to strengthen their starting lineup.
