I didn't know Hedo Turkoglu was part of that band.
One of the worst Raptors ever. I remember chatting to a Turkish guy in TO saying the amount of shame Hedo brought to their community with his absolute crap play and attitude.
But the problem was 'ball' Nev!!
...Colangelo's only real glaring misstep.
Ujiri gets all the credit for the team, (don't get me wrong, he's tremendous)...but most of the core was brought in by
Colangelo.
(Note: Getting nothing for Chris Bosh before his free agency was a bad non-move too.)
Ball. Ball.
Agree that Colangelo probably doesn't get enough credit, especially getting that back-court together and decent drafting. It is great to see someone like Ujiri in total control of a franchise with a great reputation across the league.
I am worried, however, about reports that MLSE are not in any great hurry to really go for it this year (ie adding payroll) as they're happy filling the ACC and just being competitive for a change. Raptors need to go for it, go get Paul Milsap, he'd be a great fit.
Yes Millsap! (Heard he's off the table though). No Cousins.
Millsap/Sefolosha. Valanciunas/Ross/salary match/pick.
Salaries might match already...I'd take Dwight Howard if they thought Jonas was redundant.
If Dwight Howard only focussed on playing like Biyombo...ill take it!!
I don't think JV is going anywhere and the Raps don't need Sefolosha, they are one of the few teams with wings. I think it will be Ross/pick/prospect? Millsap is an expiring, not sure how much leverage Atlanta has.
Or go after Carmelo... Normally I'd say he's not a great fit (needs the ball too much), but he's so good at the Olympics when surrounded by other stars. Maybe Carmelo, KLow and DD and tell the other two guys to get out of the way?
