Raptors Discussion: v89| Those are some big rings | Raptors out to defend their championship

[robertmac43]

Fu way to start of the year last night. What a moment seeing Klow get his ring and watch the banner go up! I'm looking forward to watching this new core grow this year, especially OG!

 

[BayStreetBully]

These guys are such a joy to watch. And they look like they are having fun themselves. Lowry, Siakam, Vanvleet... they are leaving it all on the court and it’s wonderful to see.

 

[Emerica]

It hurted a lil seeing Kawhi in those blue threads, not gonna lie.

 

[Muston Atthews]

What’s the estimate of the cost of the top tier ring?

I think it’s 10k

 

[Clark4Ever]

I think it’s 10k

It looks like it's worth a lot more than 10k

 

[MSZ]

I think it’s 10k

More like 100k.

 

[Clark4Ever]

I like our young core, but we are definitely short on quality off the bench if we get into injury trouble.

Can't rely on only going 7-8 deep every night and be fresh for the playoffs.

 

[Erndog]

I think it’s 10k

Uhhh, no. I paid about that for an engagement ring that wasn't anywhere NEAR this.

Probably $100K+

 

[GardinerTheForward]

One of the reps was asked and they said “it was the most expensive ring in NBA history” so clearly it is a disgusting amount of money

 

[thewave]

Uhhh, no. I paid about that for an engagement ring that wasn't anywhere NEAR this.

Probably $100K+

My guess... (This is for the players rings. I think they used inferior stuff for the other guys.

1-2 oz of gold. $3000. Small diamonds $8000. Big diamonds include the big $19,000. Workmanship, design team etc. $20,000 for a total of about $50,000.00

50k is my bet but it could be as high as $75k depending on the big diamond clarity etc.

Yeah, I saw a toned down replica you could buy for 10k

 

[Sens]

Uhhh, no. I paid about that for an engagement ring that wasn't anywhere NEAR this.

lol I did 500$ on mine... it’s a ring lol

 

[Erndog]

Yeah. Tell that to the Raps too

Surely one of us has a jeweller friend

 

[McDeepika]

Didnt get a chance to post but I thought Davis looked quite good in his first game. He was really good on defense and you can tell he has high IQ. Could be another undrafted gem.

If Lowry was 3 years younger, this team could make the finals. Just don’t think we are going to have enough offense with the current group.

Lowry looks fine, he'll play himself into shape. Good for 2 seasons. I think there is going to be surprise offense out of this group.

Not me lol, they said the top tier players rings are 150k each roughly. Probably all top grade diamonds though. I think you could make a ring like that with lesser diamonds for what I said though.

Rings look ridiculous, IMO.

 

[Ignatius Reilly]

Rings look ridiculous, IMO.

I think the notion of big championship rings started out well, but then someone decided each year's rings had to be bigger than the one before.

So now that's where we're at. Tacky, unwearable, ridiculous.

I was trying to describe them to a friend the next morning over breakfast. I ended up putting an empty espresso cup like a ring with the handle on my fingers and telling him to imagine it spray-painted gold and covered in rhinestones.

I am sure they will all have small versions made. That's just for show to give people to talk about. They want the league to know this is the place to be, we go over the top, all first class. I get it, everything was over the top just like the parade.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

I'm okay with the huge, gawdy, unwearable rings. If I were in the position, I definitely would not want to wear it and instead have it displayed at home. It's not often you win those things, so by all means, go all out and make them as "blingy" as possible. I'd just get a smaller replica made so that it can be worn, while the real one is on display in safe keeping.

 

[Jozay]

didnt drake design a 2nd ring for the team?

I thought I saw something on twitter saying that.

It was a ring he made for himself. He probably didn't know that the team was going to give him one.

 

[Suntouchable13]

What do you guys think of Boston? Are they really good? IMO, 3rd best team in the division at best. Behind Philly and Toronto. They are led by Kemba Walker? He hasn't done a thing in this league.

Can I laugh at the fact that the Ringer has the Raptors missing the playoffs entirely, but they expect the Clippers and the f***ing LAKERS to challenge for the West championship? And forget about them sucking the dicks of a Boston team that's now lead by Kemba Walker and not much else...
