    only if you have a boob of a GM.

    With all the prospect guru’s that Cronin has hired they surely couldn’t whiff at the draft like that

    Ah yes, the exception. "Let us fleece a deal". Lol wut. Why even post that? Lmao. Entitlement is a weird thing.

    Good try, though. My post still stands.

    Drafting is anything but an exact science. I think the same people calling to blow it up could very easily be calling for a new GM for the second or third time six seasons from now when we're even further away from contention than we currently are. It's a very typical "grass is greener" situation.

    Classic Wes.
    On another note, Troy Brown Jr turned out to be a pretty good 2 way NBA player. Does a little of everything.

    They might not need him if they get Wemby.

    This season, no matter who plays, they haven’t been able to win on the road. No surprise tonight.

    What does CJ know? Did GTJ tell him he wants out of Toronto?

    Fully agree. I hate that you cant quickly identify which team is home/road by just looking at jersey color. But this madness was expected with Nike taking over
