Leo is the worst, Jack is the best (for comedy reasons), but Leo is right and Jack is wrong regarding tanking the rest of the season.

Jack is a Bell employee but is on the broadcast with Devlin who is an MLSE employee. He's not going to go against Devlin's message and make him uncomfortable. He's also on team buses and planes, etc.

Leo is also an employee of Bell but isn't really around the team anymore. He's in the studio working with other Bell employees. He can say whatever he wants.

I don't particularly like Leo's style but it's often he is right about things. But he comes across arrogant.

Jack has his schticks and at times it's amusing, at times annoying.

BI, Barnes and RJ would benefit from a stretch big the same way Tatum and Brown did.

I would go for Zvonimir Ivisic.
damn, if only we had a max contract quality big man. Is that all?

Those are skills that were not emphasized for big men in the past. Every year the draft brings more talent to the NBA and the game slightly evolves.

From Z Ivisic, T Ivisic, Condon, Kaulkbrenner, Wolf and probably a few more have the potential to be those guys.

Z is taking 4 a game while shooting 38.5%. He's also blocking 2 shots a game in just 20 minutes of playing

I guess he's a max level player :crazy:

if Z comes into the league, and blocks 3-4 shots per 36, and shoots 38.5% from 3 then yes, that is a max guy. That is Porzingis #'s
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

I was never a big Leo fan, but I appreciate everything he has done over the years.

Leo is kind of vanilla. Jack has more.personality.

I actually like Jack more than I liked Chuck.

I can't think of a Raptors TV personality that I like.more than Jack.


Jack seems like a great guy but I would just like some fresh blood iin there is all.


Sure. Is there anyone that you do like? Locally or league wide?

That's a very obvious statement.

He is a 2nd round project we would be developing. He's not going to do it right away lol.

Ok, and me saying you are describing a max player with the below comment is obvious to.

If we found a guy that can nail 40% from 3 on flamethrower volume and also has size to intimidate drivers on defense we would be very competitive.

Dell Curry & Eric Collins. I like Alvin and Carter way more then most. Alvin gets a ton of hate on here. I grew up watching them play, so I am bias. Delvin is fine. He is a pro.

Yeah. I.like Alvin's sarcastic sense of humor.. It's not for everyone. Might be a generational thing.

He isn't going to come into the league and block more shots than he did in college. It would be a project that would take at least 2 years before we saw anything out of it. I'm not sure which part of that you have a hard time understanding.

But the target numbers are better Wemby numbers.

Wemby per 36 blocks 4.1 and makes 3.1 3pt shots at 35%.

So you think he is a Wemby project?)
