1) Wins - 22 2) Demar's numbers - 21 ppg, 4 rpg, 1.5 apg, 47% fg 3) Most improved player on the roster? - Bayless or Klieza 4) Leading Scorer - DeRozan 5) Leading Rebounder - Amir Johnson 6) Playoffs or Not - No way in hell 7) Player who stinks it up - Alabi? 8) Who gets traded if anyone? - No major trades
How many games long will the season be? In any case they will probably win 1/3. Demar: 20/5 MIP: Easy E Scorer: Bargz (22) Rebounder: Ed (9) Playoffs: Playoffs?!! Stinky: Salami Traded: Barbosa
Wins-28 and 38 (i actually believe in this Casey guy) Demar's Numbers- 19 ppg, 4 boards and 2 assists Bargnani's Numbers- 19 ppg, 7 Boards and 1.5 Blocks MIP- Bayless Leading Scorer- Bayless - 20 ppg Leading Rebounder- ED Davis Playoffs- In the hunt for eighth Player who stinks it up- Barbosa Traded: one of the pf's (we have a glut at the position, I hope its Bargs but I think its going to be Ed Davis)
I think Ed might be the best person to trade as he has the most trade value. I love Ed and definitely want to keep him, but if the right deal come along i would seriously consider it because we have lots of pfs and Val coming over next year. I would love Bargs to be traded for a mid-late teens pick but everyone knows that the draft is deep so it might be hard to do. But you never know, some fringe playoff team could be looking for so extra scoring. Milwaukee maybe?
Lol deception you think we will have three players averaging about 20 points? Like the optimism but you definitely overestimating the team.
yeah i also think they are going to be 10 games under .500 in a shortened season in which most of the games will be played against an inferior eastern conference, very little west according to published reports. i like their chances. 3 * 20 ppg- i think is realistic because i see very little offence anywhere else. bayless if given the opportunity can do it and he did last year at the end of the season in starter minutes. in bargnani's case- im taking 3 ppg from last year's output and im adding 2 ppg to derozan. not much difference in terms of offensive output there.
No team last year had more than 2 players averaging 19+ points (Miami was close tho). Only 6 teams had at least three players average more than 16 ppg. Miami NYK GSW (4 players) Chicago Utah (although Deron was traded) Washington
Deception knows he's being crazy. Calderon will start and Bayless will get to be our first guard off the bench if he's lucky. Any word on Weems? Is he coming back/getting re-signed or is he staying wherever he is in Europe?
I believe both Weems and Dorsey are both stuck overseas for the season, no opt out clauses. I think the raptors need to fill 3 roster spots.
Boys! Good to see everyone back at it! I'll be here as much as possible, bringing my sexyness back. 1) Wins - we play 66 games IIRC? I say we finish 36-30. Hopefully grab the 8th or 7th playoff spot, but this is being pessimistic. I do think with our new coach and management, out players feel the pressure more than ever. 2) Demar's numbers - 23 PPG 4.5 RPG 2.3 APG .9 BPG ...I really want Bargnani outta here, more than anything. DeMar needs to start becoming our star player, because he does have that potential as well as the drive to win. Bargs is just horrid and no way he got any better. 3) Most improved player on the roster? - Amir Johnson. The dude gained 25 LBS so he can play centre and take Bargs away from letting C's score 20 PPG. I was gonna but in Ed Davis, but I feel he gets another year to feel things out and he should be a FORCE the following year with Vally. 4) Leading Scorer - DeMar 23 PPG, Bargnani 21 PPG...this is what I predict, as I really want Il Mago outta here. 5) Leading Rebounder - Amir Johnson 10 RPG, he's a lot bigger and hungrier. Plus the extra minutes at C could only help. 6) Playoffs or Not - Playoffs? You wanna talk playoffs?....Hell fuckin' yea we making the playoffs. 7) Player who stinks it up - Jose Calderon & Linas ...I have no hope for either of these Euro trash stars. Trade them for picks or anything PLEASE! 8) Who gets traded if anyone? Here is what I want to go down, as well is what I pray for every night. Andrea Bargnani gets traded to ANY team for ANY first round pick, I really don't care if it's 1 or 15. Jose Calderon gets traded to ANY team for ANY first round pick.
Casey is where it's at If Bayless is our leading scorer, we're doomed. Unless your name is Derrick Rose, pass the ball. Ed Davis is the man, I would love to see him get 25 minutes plus, and don't say he'll get traded! If we trade Ed Davis that's a huge mistake..the kid has potential for years. Bargnani needs to be delt while he's still worth something.
why is caledron starting over bayless? caledron has proved over the last two years that he cannot play in a league built on uber speed. amnesty him please!!! i love the guy and everything he stands for but i would like watch a winning team one day
