Former Raptor discussion thread 3.0

I feel like Dowtin should be able to find a role as a back-up player on a PG-starved team

dude needs to go to the Lakers and replace Gabe Vincent or something..where all he needs to do is play D and score some points. Not sure why he followed Nurse to Philly

Credit to Damon for this admission. It would've been fitting to hear similar from Vince.

Vince has nothing to apologize for

The Toronto front office (specifically Rob Babcock, Peddle) set back Raptors for years with awful decisions.

You do not tank your trade value. Regardless of how bad management is, that's a big FU to the fans. I guess you are OK people saying FU to you?

If you didn't see a huge difference between his last few games as a Raptor and the first few as a Net, then you are blind.

Fans never chanted:

Go Raptors Go, DS sucks
Or,
Go Raptors Go, TM sucks!
Or
Go Raptors Go, CB sucks!

They did chant:

Go Raptors Go, VC sucks!

Nurse looks even more checked out than he did at the end with us. That Philly team is not playing hard. I think he's lost them.

Norman Powell is a meme with his Martin Luther cream speech.

He’s still shooting 49/44 from 3 on 8 attempts per game…. He’s officially an elite shooter.

Nurse is going to be that coach, like George Karl who goes from team to team

Holy ****, Norm being considered as an All-Star?! I don't follow like I used to, but that's amazing. I absolutely hated that we forced him out, but I'm glad he's hooping. Good for him.

I remember saying years and years ago that if the raptors invested into Powell as much as they did derozan, he would be a star player. He was a more explosive athlete and a better shooter. Of course back then people said it was insanity.

I've watched a bit of Houston lately and they have been very impressive. One thing that's clear is that Fred is their leader. Not the best player, especially from night to night as we know how streaky he is, but he's the one that sets their plays in motion, the one who sets the calm tone with smart consistent execution. Good for him.

Kawhi with 27 points in 29 minutes in a win over Wemby. Norm also scored 27

DeMar chatting with other former Raps Lou Williams and Danny Green, says he still wants to retire a Raptor because of how special his time here was.
