    Well, Toronto is no Portland.

    Dre' and his 14 guaranteed mil sounds better and better each day. I thought I hear/read somewhere that Hedo wishes he had stuck with Portland. I thank God he didn't.

    If I had a chance to ask 3 questions to Pritchard that he had to answer truthfully, one of them would be "what the fuck were you thinking when you offered 14.8 PER Hedo that contract?". Hedo had a decent playoff run last year, but his body of work if just below average.

    I still don't understand it. I agree with you on Miller. He's made a much bigger impact than Hedo would have made, and he's a lot cheaper.

    We don't know that. Hedo might have played a lot better here than there.

    Of course, he might have played a lot worse here, too, I don't know.

    Had Hedo played at his normal level, he'd still be worse than Nic Batum, and without the defense. Meanwhile, Miller is way better than Blake.

    Well, even if Hedo did play as good as Nic, I'd rather have Nic due to age. And agreed about Miller/Blake.

    That's fucking great. Someone should let her know that the albatross of a contract he signed makes him untradable, so she's stuck there.

    So the only question that remains is which marriage will be unhappier in two years? Hedo and his wife or Hedo and his team?

    No kidding.

    Hedo is a 60" plasma TV sitting in a house with no roof and a shakey foundation. Only a team that is actually contending for a title can afford that kind of luxury item.

    Well, he's more like a 27 inch LCD that you grossly overpaid for.

    Right.

    Bottom line is that Hedo isn't that good of a player, and wouldn't have been here either.

    Most Raptors fans were upset with the signing... way more now.

    As good as he can be sometimes for the most part he is a bum.

    Hedo will be traded to the first taker. Yes his contract is big but keep in mind at least 1/3 of the NBA's GM's are not fully functioning adults.

    Tremendously wasteful signing.

    Sonny Weems is better!!!

    What? You wouldn't want the foundation of your team next year to be Hedo and Bargiani? :NOTMARIS:

    We really should cheer for Hedo tomorrow night. How much more would that sting him...
