If Kanter can pick up the NBA game anywhere near as fast as he learned english, sign me up! His interviews are impressive.

I like Kemba, but it's articles like these that scare me a little bit.

“It would be amazing. Especially because I’m from New York so if that happened, I’d be thrilled”

“I haven’t thought about it but it would definitely be special definitely to have MSG as my home”

"It's special, a special place to play. Everybody dreams of playing in this place, the bright lights, everybody watching. It's just a special place."

"Carmelo Anthony has been my favorite player so wherever he goes, I go. I think about that all the time. I would love to not only play with him but play for this organization, just because I'm from here. But whatever happens, happens. I can't control stuff like that."

Don't worry, it won't be much of a loss when he bolts.

As someone who wants Kemba on our team... this does scare me quite a bit as well.

That article doesn't scare me. If DeMar was asked the same question about being drafted by the Lakers, he would say the same thing except you replace 'Melo with Kobe.

He's a New York kid. Ofcourse he would want to play in the MSG.

After Andrea Bargnani's recent bashing of the City of Toronto and its weather, it's become more clear than ever that the Raptors need to draft a power forward or centre to replace him.

I've always wanted us to pick Kanter, but it looks like he's out of our reach now and Biyombo impresses the hell out of me.

simple_jack · Post #114 » by **simple_jack** » Sun May 22, 2011 7:26 pm

I really don't think we'll draft Walker even with Knight off the board. I see Kemba dropping on draft day the way Jameer Nelson and Ty Lawson did.

overdose · Post #115 » by **overdose** » Sun May 22, 2011 7:31 pm

I'm really liking the idea of possibly having a core of Knight, Demar and Ed on the team going forward.

Add a vet center plus w.e we get from Andrea and Jose ( plus high pick next year) and we could be looking really good going forward.

Knight/Bayless
Demar/Barbosa
JJ/Kleiza
Ed/Amir
FA/ /Alabi

So why the hell is BC talking about building around this fool? Damn we're cursed.

This is what my order looks like too, although I'm teetering between Walker and Knight.

With the 5th Pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors select...
