Jonas Valanciunas in T.O means Raptors 2012 season almost here .
- Thread starter Bargnani_
- Start date
Capped out, no draft picks, and IMHO one player. The worst part is most fans were really excited when they found out BC had been hired.Wow did BC leave a mess eh ? Here New GM you have no draft pics and your capped out .
There is just enough of a team to get them to about the same spot they were in last year which means about an eighth or ninth pick. With a
year of experience Jonas gets better and they have Rudy for the full year so forget Wiggens unless you can dump a pile of bodies and get some
D leaguers back. Probably ain't happening!
Apparently they released Stone as he failed the physical. Camby is being bought out, no surprise there.Dwight Buycks. Lots of time. More on the way.

Wiggins would like to play for the raptors!
Even though, it doesn't look like the raptors are going to tank.

DJ Augustin = Tank CommanderDwight Buycks. Lots of time. More on the way.
The right way to tank = assemble a team of hard working scrubs...
That will keep the fans entertained as you go 12-70.
Lowry will be easy to move for a mid 1st round pick...
Gay will be moved for a starter and expirings.
Bombs away.
Every so often I realize that Bargnani wasn't the most unfortunate #1 pick in recent history.

Even if they don't get Wiggins or the PG in the next draft..... as long as they clean house and get rid of the big contracts and start rebuilding I'm happy.
I like Rudy and Demar plays well with him but neither guy is a piece to build around.
Anyone hear/see progress with Terrence Ross? I was just looking at all the players still technically on the roster, and it looks like they have "Several Irons in the Fire"
Does Landry Fields have an improved season?
Does Rudy Gay improve?
Does Derozan Improve?
How much has Valanuciunas improved?
Can the raptors keep Steve Novak on the floor for extended minutes with his 3 point threat?
Can any of these guys have a breakout season?
Most Raptor fans would be happy to make the playoffs in the 7th or 8th spot...NO? I can't go along with Tanking seasons forever. I'd rather get into the playoffs and then try to improve from there.

I'm with you. Just go out and play decent basketball. This rebuild year after year is getting real tired Need 12 guys to go out there and bust their tails for 48 min. every game.Most Raptor fans would be happy to make the playoffs in the 7th or 8th spot...NO?

Build the team by trading and free agency. Drafting is such a crap shoot. That does not mean you give up your draft picks as every once in a while a Jonas appears, you just can't rely on the draft to stock a team.
