    i know 3 - 2 isn't good enough, but you got to have spirit for your team.

    I have plenty of team spirit. But I see it's going to take divine intervention to get us into the playoffs, so I say let's get at least some value from this season, ie a good lottery pick, developing the younger players. I want to this team to win as many games as possible, but when they lose I think, oh well that much closer to a decent pick.

    Why dont the Raptors just waive Hakeem. Or do they save more money by doing that in the second half

    We've been told that insurance pays Hakeem's contract, so it's useful for Luxury Tax relief. Our GM was hoping to trade the contract for a team wanting some LT relief, but it ain't gonna happen so Hakeem's retirement papers will probably be filed with the league soon.

    Raps

    The raps will finish the season strong, but not playoffs, but next season with Lamond Murray and a healthy lineup they will be much better [​IMG]

    6-5 since the break. Not terrible, not great either. 23 games to go, I say they go 13-10 for a second half record of 19-15 and a season record of 33-49. We'll be lucky if we get a pick in the top 5.

    I want Darko. But if we keep playing .500 ball like we have been since the break, he'll be long before we draft.

    the raptors need to go on a big losing streak for us to get either Darko or Carmelo
