We just never learn as a fanbase. Forgive them.

Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" - Jesus Shuttlesworth

Re: The Jonas Valanciunas Thread
This should be a great pick. Congrats to Valanciunas.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

Re: The Jonas Valanciunas Thread
Perfect night.
Got likely the 1st or 2nd best player in the draft.
TT got picked 4th
Think LBJs agent ( Vals agent ) and BC engineered it.
Think the buyout was a canard to ge5t Cleveland to pick someone else.
Filled the Raptors biggest need at C.
Downside is Gortat upside Noah but with more offensive skills.

No homo, this guy is pretty. He's so shy though. He's worse than Bargnani with interviews.

Re: The Jonas Valanciunas Thread
Not gonna lie i was pretty furious after the pick, but now that i have let my nerves settle I have no choice but to trust BC on this one. It seems as if a lot of teams wanted this kid so hopefully it works out. However it would be pretty gay if hes not available to us next year..

That works the other way around too. What are YOU basing your opinions on? How many times have you seen him play?
It seems like the Spurs really wanted him..and they're one of the best organizations in the league.

This is who I wanted at this spot so I approve. Now keep him in Europe next year and lets get our tank on next year to grab one of the SF in the 2012 draft.

Re: The Jonas Valanciunas Thread
Look on the bright side, if things don't work out then at least BC can use the same tried and tested excuses that he used for Bargnani.

We? Please don't put us royal fans in the same category as you scums.
That guy thinks DD was a better player than Harden last season.

Don't worry, DeMar will be signing elsewhere when his contract ends and Andrea, Val and Colangelo will still be around. Oh, and the fanbase will turn on Demar and call him a scrub and say how he didn't deserve a good contract. History will repeat.
