1/9 MIN @ TOR 6PM

[[RCG]]

Fun game to be at.. Wish you guys had won.

Amir has been up and down this season, that was one of his best games ever in a Raptor uni.

The general consensus plan for us T.O fans is to try and get a top 5 pick this year and add a blue chip SF prospect, bring Val over leaving us with about $15 million in cap space, if we amnesty someone like Jose or Kleiza we can be over $20 million.. BC will make a big play for a big FA (likely going for Nash, or Westbrook) giving us

Nash/Westbrook, Bayless
DeRozan, ?
2012 Pick
Bargs/Ed
Val/Amir

Solid top 7 ... Of course we have no idea how it will go..

Good luck to you guys this year.. I hope it all comes together and you make some noise this season.

For your sake I hope you target MKG not Barnes.

[Joel Embust]

I love Rubio, he's a stud and will be a star in this league, but he's gotta stop going to the rim so soft. His finger roll layups are getting blocked left and right.

As do I.. Barnes is pretty low on my wish list.

I hope we can snag a second first a get Myck Kabongo (Canadian) too... The future for us is not as bleak as before.

Westbrook will, at a minimum, be a restricted free agent next year, and I see no way that OKC doesn't match him. It would be very unusual if he doesn't extend with OKC long before that too.

We hear the same thing about Kevin Love, but the risk of these players passing on their first guaranteed $50+ mil deal while they hope to avoid an injury for a season or two is way too dangerous, and why we almost never see these top players fail to extend.

Nash seems a reasonable target though. I'd like to see him either play on a legit, vet contender, or finish his career in Canada.
