Yeah, Loyd is more athletic & seems to be more of a natural scorer than Brown.

He's younger too when considering upside.

I do like Brown's defense though.

Jeremy Lin would be a great fit on this team. Dude is clutch af and can distribute the ball. he's shooting 39% from 3 this year.

This could be clearing a roster spot for a potential trade.

Brown was doodoo. But I would be gotten rid of Malachi Richardson first. But I think the only reason it wasent him was because his contract is guaranteed. Raptor would STILL have to pay him.

Lowry Beal Leonard Siakam Ibaka looks too sweet. How do the Raps make that happen?

Exactly. They already decided not to opt-in to the last year of Richardson's contract. He'll be let go in the off-season.

Jordans_Rose wrote:He wasn't that bad, I don't know why people are ripping on him. Obviously when you play behind Lowry, Van Vleet and Delon Wright you won't see much playing time. I hope Lorenzo finds a team in the near future, I think Lorenzo can develop his skills with more playing time and be a guy who can give a team 10 pts, 4 asts & 1 stl off the bench. I guess the Raptors have an opening spot, it would be nice if Vince Carter came back to Toronto, gives the team some added veteran experience, VC can still ball even at 40. I think it's only fitting Vince should retire as a Raptor.


Why in hell would we give he, whom shall not be named, a chance to lift a trophy in our buildin? A trophy he did very little to earn.

Lorenzo Brown deserves to raise that trophy much more than the 40 year old, and Lorenzo, a man with integrity, isn't getting that chance.

THIS, so can still toss him in a trade to make salaries work.

Naw it's better if we keep an open roster spot. Makes it easier to make trades. :)

Wierd, that one play stood out, might have been his last points? (yeah it was) He got in for some garbage time vs the Spurs and just took it down the middle and dunked it for an and 1 like where did that come from, he looked so loose and not giving a F, maybe he already knew by then.

He helped turn the tide of a couple games this season - most notably the win against Dallas at home. Solid defender, can get into the paint when he wants - too bad he's an abysmal finisher. Goodnight, sweet prince.

I admire his dunk of the year attempt against a 7 footer :lol:

Dude is fearless on the court, he really thought he was Vince Carter at that moment
