    Half of Anthony Parker? lmao what is he anyways

    We've doubted BC before but he proves us wrong almost all the time, lets hope he can do it again.

    Half of AP is Mo Pete in a sign and trade, but the KG trade will probably never happen.

    <div class="quote_poster">asdf Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">The Raptors just keep getting whiter and whiter. I WANT SOME AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT CAN RUN AND JUMP DAMNIT!</div>

    <div class="quote_poster">Chutney Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">We should put together a package to trade for Kevin Garnett. That would balance it out a little more.</div>

    Or we should try to get Eddy Curry. He's makes up at least the equivalent of 2 players [​IMG]

    But then again, he can neither run or jump [​IMG]

    Why stop now when we can compete with Utah for the whitest team in the league? Quite seriously though, I could care less where we are getting our players from as long as we win.

    Kapono better put up some decent performances otherwise I'm dubbing him Yogi part II.

    I think he will put up some good numbers. He is a great shooter, and Sam will make him improve his defense. I just hope that we get some more players too, not just 1 or 2 guys. I want a few more, possibly Peitrus at the SF position, then I'll be happy.

    Sam makes players improve their defense? Riley made him improve his defense, and he was still weak, Sam doesn't motivate anyone defensively more than Riley can.

    Did we hire a new coach named Sam that I didn't find out about?

    LOL I like how she pronounced Timberlands at 3:25.
    "He was like in sweats.. hooded sweats and like Timberlinds"

    But yeah it's nice to see Jason's story, and hopefully he develop even more as a Raptor than he has with the Heat.

    The thing about these stories, they can make any player look good. The coaches ain't gunna say things like "He didn't work hard, he was just Lucky, he couldn't find his ass from a whole in the ground" type of thing. I think you could make a video like this about Hafa, even though he is isn't the best. I think though, he can produce, he's a good shooter, not to streaky, so I just want him to play some solid D.

    lol, no kidding. My favourite part was right after they finished talking about his girlfriend/wife. The host was like "...and its that ability to know right away that he was going to marry her, that has helped Jason Kapono become such a great NBA player." I was like wtf!?!

    Lmao, that was classic. I thought at first his wife was Carey Underwood, then I realized she was some hot chick. The guy who hosts it is to much of a fan to be an analyst. Like Chuck Swirsky is boarder line, like that incident with Bargnani. I think he meant to say, that he got it out of the way, so he can go become a great player without having to worry about getting cutty.

    I didn't want to start a new thread because I couldn't find a link but did anybody else here hear that rumour on TSN? The rumoured deal was Mo-pete and Calderon for Ben Gordon.

    OMG, I would piss my pants if we got Gordon. But then we have so many SG.

    it would be like this

    PG - Ford/Gordon

    SG - Parker/Gordon/Kapono/Delfino/Dixon/Jackson

    SF - Gordon/Garbo/Delfino/Kapono/Jackson

    PF - Bosh/Bargnani/Humphries

    C - Bargnani/Rasho


    Not to bad, but I want Calderon because him and Ford as we know work well together, but this trade, wouldn't bother me to much.

    Parker would start at SF with Gordon at SG. And if this move is made I'm sure Colangelo will find a trade that will get rid of some of our gaurds to get a backup big man.

    Chicago isn't going to trade Gordon so Calderon can be their backup PG. They already have Hinrich.
