And Bargnani. That competitive fire of his will suddenly just flame out after all of this losing.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Whatever. They are in no position to be demanding "win now." They know what this team is trying to do. If you aren't a superstar you just shut your mouth and play along, atleast until your contract expires.

OH LAWDY

If we get Vesley, I will kill myself


Kill yourself with satisfaction of a well-done pick? I hate when that happens myself. The whole satisfaction killing makes me feel satisfied - for the killing of myself. Vesely FTW!



I firmly believe that Vesley will be a Rudy Fernandez type player. Nothing more

The issue w/ Val's buyout is the fact would BC want to wait a couple years until it gets resolved given the circumstance that BC's contract is only good for 2 yrs. I'm thinking he'd want a player that can develop right away just to show MLSE that he's making progress.
