I know a Wiggins/Olynyk SF/PF tandem in Toronto would be the best thing for Team Canada basketball.

Fixed.

Probably not but once his contract is over and he leaves Boston to sign with us we can renew the TSN coverage. :lol:

Is this isn't pushing the MLSE agenda to draft Wiggins than I don't know what is...either way i'd be happy just drafting a superstar whether it be Wiggins, Randle, Smart or Parker.

TL: Lord Stern, I know you're ashamed of your role as matchmaker between BC and the Raps, but I like that you threw him a weak #1 for taking the job. But I'm TL. I'll take the MLSE gig if you promise me #1 in 2014 and the 2016 all-star game. You want that market to disappear, or not? Final offer.

[Censored] the TSN2 man, I thought I could save abit of my bandwidth but it looks like I'm going to destroy my bandwidth at a whole new level this year, all these jayhawk/wildcats/bluedevil games...damn, DAMN brah.

Did you guys really expect them to put that many college basketball games on the flagship station? (TSN) Just be happy they're putting them on TV at all. TSN2 really isn't that hard to get, I'm sure you guys can do more chores or something to get your parents to spring for it.

Sure, but he'll just be the Emperor to Silver's Vader. And TL already stated that getting the 2016 AS game was part of his deal.

He will never live up to the hype. He will never be in the same convo as LBJ or Durant.

Until he's guarding them next year and they make a point of destroying him :lol:

It'll be like Oden, when the NBA put him up against all the best Cs in the first couple weeks. Or at least they wanted to before he got hurt in game 1 vs. the Lakers.
