Wait, he played for us back in 2015 and is now only 31/32 now? That's wild, I thought he was a very developed player and maybe mid-to-late-twenties while on our roster. Good for him sticking around in the league as long as he has.

I remember Derozan, Lowry, and even Casey making jokes that he wasn't actually his age, but that was just a rumour scouts started before the draft. It'll be nice for him to prove them wrong, by playing into his 30's. Bismack is a great man, 2nd greatest Raptor one year-wonder.

Because Clippers offered more. He valued Paul George and his hometown.

Gary Trent still filling up the stat sheet, I see. 3 Rebs and 2 assists in 69 mins of game play.

Siakam with 12 pts and -23 vs the Knicks defense

Knicks wing D is tough with OG on Pascal and Bridges on Hali (0 points)

I was just thinking last night how happy I am not having to watch him play for the Raptors anymore. Still wishing him good luck on his new team though.

We don't talk enough about how great a player Norm ended up becoming. Thanks for posting.

Can someone explain to me why Denis Schroder is playing like an all star for the Nets this season?

Last year through 7 games for the Raptors Schroder was averaging like 16/9. He's obviously had an even hotter start to this season, but he's a streaky player and his shooting will definitely be a bunch worse than it is.

Bro his splits are ridiculous right now, he's in legit all star form. I know the percentages won't last but I've actually been super impressed by his leadership, he has really taken the mantle, he looks like the German NT version.

He obviously won't sustain this shooting but he was 41% on 2 makes per game in Brooklyn so maybe the shooting has become a real emphasis for him since going there.

He was a solid player for us here too, the hate he got was irrational.

Truly a feel-good moment. Norm is on a tear this season. Watching him now with 15 in the first half vs Suns, the announcer saying how Harden is happy to facilitate Norm .

I don't dislike Gary but Norm may still be playing when GTJ is out the league. Happy to see Norm playing so great
