Pre-Camp Player Checkin 

Post#1 » by nahom1319 » Sun Sep 9, 2012 5:22 pm

Looks like a handful of players are on the way back to toronto to put in work before training camp

Lowry/Calderon/Lucas
Derozan/Ross/Anderson
Fields/Klieza/Mcguire
Bargnani/Ed/Acy
Gray/Jonas/Amir

John Lucas III ‏@Luke1luk
On my flight headed to Toronto

Terrence Ross ‏@T_DotFlight31
On my way to Toronto.

Ed Davis ‏@eddavis32
This 10hr drive to Toronto gon hurt 2mor

Landry Fields ‏@landryfields
T. Dot

Quincy Acy ‏@QuincyAcy
Canada out here shooting fireworks... Lucky our living room facing the water so we got a good view lol


edit: late(r) arrivals include:

DeMar DeRozan ‏@DeMar_DeRozan
West Coasting to Toronto


Eric Koreen ‏@ekoreen
@nah_home Mcguire, Gray.


Is there anyone else in toronto I'm not aware of? Btw I saw a tweet by dagger saying that Bargnani was in the city, so there's a possibility that he could be back to that 13 game form.

edit: This has the feel of BC's first year here. Does anyone else see the similarity (in both roster makeup and early arrivals) or am I out to lunch?

Insofar as there were a lot of guys showing up early and who really wanted to get the thing turned around, yes, it has the same feel. As far as roster makeup, probably not. There were a lot more veterans on that 2006-7 team with a lot of winning experience (be it in Europe or here), though, so the roster makeup is pretty different in that regard.

Assuming he's coming from Virginia, it should be a beautiful drive at this time of year. I'd drive it, too, just to enjoy the scenery.

Mind you, I'm not 6'10". I can see where he might get uncomfortable after a while.

He probably wants to have his own wheels in Toronto. There are services that will drive his car up here for him, but yes, it's a nice drive so why not. It;s not like he's Jermaine O'Neal with a fleet of expensive cars (I think JO had seven luxury cars and had them all shipped up here.)

Val is coming too, on Friday's interview Casey mentioned that he is coming next week, so they all decided to put in work together, cool.

Oneal made the drive himself, hired a couple of flatbed towtrucks to follow him up and had problems at the border, as he didn't have the proper paperwork for all the vehicles.


More important than the player updates coming to Toronto, though, is this:

That hand belongs to none other than Elaine Alden - girlfriend of Landry Fields.

Damn that woman! She has horrible personality. I don't know what Landry sees in her.
