I was hoping we'd bring in Bradley, but he's going to the LA.
But yeah, I guess the exciting thing is it's a huge opp for Powell and McCaw. Especially Powell, give the potential he once showed.
Raptors Discussion: v88| Kawhi signs with the Clippers. But hey, at least we got a title out of him first.

I believe they'll try to add some young talent to put around FVV, Siakam, OG and Norm, and trade the veterans when teams who believe they have a shot at the title this coming year are looking to add. From a building standpoint, you're in an enviable position with three big expiring contracts attached to players who just won, and contributed to significantly, a championship.
I don't think you'll ever see a Masai team truly tank (as many of us thought they would back before the '14 draft). I believe they are quite cocky about their scouting and player development, and rightfully so as they've proven to have an edge on the majority of franchises. I'm confident during the course of the season they'll turn Gasol, Ibaka and Kyle into some undervalued talent.

I like the Terence Davis signing - saw highlights of the Nuggets summer league game where he dropped 22, and mind you, it was summer league, but he looked impressive in creating his own shots and was 5-7 from long range. He had 6 fouls (you get 10 in summer league), but you can see he's confident out there when given the green light.
He bet on himself just like FVV - no 2-way contract for him and year 1 is guaranteed.

This seems like a very logical guess as to what will happen. The only thing about this course of action that I would possibly have some regrets about is that I would like to see Lowry retire a Raptor. But then, that's just me being sentimental (which I guess there's little or no room for in pro sports today) and I suppose they can always trade him and then resign him as a UFA later. And if Lowry is in the playoffs on a contending team in the spring I'll be cheering for him. Unless he's playing for the Lakers, then I just dunno.
ATM Lowry is my favourite Raptor of all time, I've always said that he's the kind of player you win with!

My thoughts exactly... Just need Boucher to step up!
Raps are just adding more depth, and I like it... and Matt Thomas was good last year, could be better than Green.

Can the Lakers afford him? I don't think the LA teams have picks? Not sure though, but if Lowry is on the market he is going to be in demand.
Honest question here, if by some miracle Raptors repeat and Patrick McCaw wins a 4th straight championship to start his NBA career. Is he a lock for the HOF?

Im impressed with pretty well all their signings so far. I like them getting Johnson too. A bunch of guys with lots to prove, might not be as talented, but their work ethic should be top notch.

Man, the banner raising ceremony at the home opener next season will not be the same without Kawhi. Disappointing.

It'll be just fine, awesome even. Lowry is our Captain and he will be as proud as the rest of the team that are still here. We're the Champs all year long! Remember, 11 or 12 Teams have never ever won a Championship!
Why would you let something like that ruin something so special?

It's a few months away, I just can't help but feel sad at this moment that he won't be with us. Gimme a break, man, lol.
Oh don't get me wrong i'm still sad that he's not a Raptor anymore lol, but I'm not gonna let that ruin something that might be a once in a lifetime event, it's not like he got traded or something...HE left.

Lol at ice cubes comments on him leaving. Basically saying how he wants to play for a loser since the clippers haven’t ever accomplished anything. Calling clippers the dippers. Lol.

Read a interesting comment that the NBA planned this rivalry (look at the excitement) there was no way Kawhi was going to Lakers. Sure he wanted to go home but is that going to be an excuse now? Russ wants to go home. PG wants to go home.
All in all, Leonard was a rental for us... It worked out, a rarity in sports. But I think Ujiri knew it from the start so he had a back up plan.
BTW, OKC is a mess.... Now they're blaming Westbrook, crazy.

Guys, I really, really don't think Clippers are the favs... Nba pundits were wrong about the east.... West is strong.
Note: nobody is talking about the Warriors. Hmm... People forgot about them. Lol!
