    With all the forwards on the squad and 15 players under contract GG should trade for a quality 2guard.

    This guy has great defence, we don't need anymore scorers, I don't think this was a bad pickup, but he might limit Moiso's playing time, who I wanted to see get a lot more.

    No one knows who he is...which is proof he isn't anything speical...there aren't many good centers left but he is no different to a scrub you will find on the streets

    WWWWWWWTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFFFFF?????

    this is so fukkin WACK!

    with all the money GG has spent on nobodys and extra position players (3 sf's 3 pg's) we could have signed a stephen jackson, or SOMEONE...ANYONE...we got enough nobodys who have done nothing

    i still love my raps, but GG looks like a moron of a GM, raptors have had a JOKE offseason imo

    We spent around 3 million (which was all we could spend) on 5 players? We couldn't get Stephen Jackson for 3 million.

    Not likely. He will get signed from someone for around the MLE. Dallas could sign him just to take potential talent from a rival.

    even if we needed to clear up some cap space...not hard to do, simply sign and trade.
