And Bargnani coming to Toronto.

It's hard to make the case that things are rigged without sounding like a crazed idiot.

But ... AD to New Orleans in exchange for losing Chris Paul to Los Angeles. Then getting #1 in the Zion draft in exchange for losing AD to Los Angeles. If the Pels can somehow gift wrap a healthy Zion to NY or LA, or the Jazz give up Markkanen, they WILL be rewarded. Mystically.


its rigged 110%

Wemby to Spurs to make them relefvant again is no coincidence either. The french connection with fans from France too since the Tony Parker days


We shall see if they draft Traore. :reporter:

Bailey also has his share of problems. He has a negative BPM and serious passing issues.

Horrible takes.

It's backed statistically.

a 1st round pick + young player is a pretty damn reasonable price for Jak

The Flagg take is not backed statistically.

Bailey succeeding would be a first, though. Not to say it’s impossible, but it’s so incredibly unlikely that I wouldn’t take him top-10.

The offensive production hasn't been great. He isn't going to be a great creator at the next level and his shot looks wonky.

Return to Toronto Raptors
