tyler hansbrough averages 2 pts a game, is smaller than most pfs in the league and can't guard most pfs in the game. he ain't worth shyt, of course josh smith would be better. josh smith is really talented, but he's nearly 30 now and he's played the same way for like 12 years...do you think he would really change his bad habits for the raptors?

josh smith is like the jay cutler of the NBA.

I wouldn't worry about miami. they are under .500.
i agree. but deng could keep Derozan honest and Wade would see the raps as food. Mentally the raps would have trouble with MIA i think. It'd be tougher than it should be

man these fourth quarter collapses are frustrating though.

Why not try? Or at least make a move.

Look at us this past season, we've lost to pretty much any team worth a damn.

Whats our defining win this season? Beating the Grizzlies without 5 rotation players? Beating the Beal-less Wizards? This team is first round exit status. God forbid we face the Heat in the first round, we're done in 6.

I think they will eventually make a move, but it won't be for a Josh Smith. They would need to go over the tax to bid on Josh Smith's contract. I really hope they go for Millsap in the offseason.

come on brehs we are missing our star player.

im as frustrated as all of you but this isnt a first round exit unless we face Chi, Cle or maybe MIa

19 ppg on 16 shots, shooting 39% with horrendous defense... what in that screams star to you? remember when we traded rudy and we started winning again? thats what the raptors are doing without derozan now. he's the new rudy. granted they were winning with him as well but that was despite him. you can't even make an argument that hes been better than james johnson this season. give lou will 16 shots and he'll produce better. stop overrating derozan.

Milsap doesnt bring any new dimension that I think the team needs. He from what I have seen in the past is a rich mans Patrick Patterson . Last thing we need.

We need a Brandan Wright type but I'd like to see us move Ross for John Henson and start Johnson going forward. Let Fields and Patrick play SF off the bench. Guess nobody else sees it though.

people have poor stretches all the time. you cats gotta stop being so sensitive and reactionary. i'm gonna stop coming into this thread because all it is is bytching.

dudes are the first to slander at any poor play but never give praise when its deserved.

I did suggest Brandan Wright earlier, he's actually available this off-season and Masai tried to sign him during his first off-season in charge but he had to settle on Hansbrough :scust:

I do like John Henson and that would be a very intriguing trade since Henson is still on his rookie contract :ehh:

Lol @ reactionary. Damn, this whole we the north shyt has you blinded.

Demar vs defenders worth a damn:

0-8 vs Parsons :mjlol:
3-17 vs Butler :mjlol::mjlol:

What a coincidence right? If you think Demar is a star then you're not thinking straight. He's just fortunate that he has the green light.

word...thats the thing..this team is playing better WITHOUT him. So im laughing when people say bu bu but we're without demar... yea thankfully. take 6 shots away from lowry, take 5 from james johnson and 3 from lou and hand them to a 39% shooter brehs and claim to be a better squad with him. :laff:

oh and take away landry + james johnson's defense too
