The Jonas Valanciunas Thread

I really thought that it was Utah that was going to determine the outcome of this draft, but nope, it was Cleveland and their terrible management. Now they're stuck with a guy they probably don't even want.

He said that?? omg, so he really would have picked him.

Actually he said if Val was gone at 5, they had a trade on the table to move down a few spots.

But he is undoubtedly the player that makes that situation most likely. I'm sorry but Knight or Walker would have indicated that Bargs was going nowhere.

How does Bargs have any impact on Val in that sense? It's not like we picked a jump shooting finesse big.....

Raps discussed extension with Barbosa's agents.

I just feel like we have done this dance so many times and the blind love for Euro talent has led to where we are right now, at the bottom of the NBA ..Sure he could be a major talent but by the time he deveolps he will be on another NBA roster. I think not taking Knight is a huge mistake. PG is the most important position on this team that needs an updgrade. Walker and Knight are going to be very good guards in this league. I am not sold on 7 foot projects that may not be on our roster next season. I'm not an NBA scout jutst a fan and I have blindly held faith for too long with this regime

BC...Bargs better suited as 4, Val better suited as a 5.

Now is a perfect time for him to say that nobody around here uses the word "euro" pejoratively.

he got waived

I missed that. Was this recent?

Kind of wish we had the 7th pick now.

BC...I cannot worry about fans, cannot worry about my contract status. We are working in getting this team to win games...

Are you happy with the Raptors selection 5th overall?
