Malta, signing Lowry doesn't cap our abliity to improve the roster in the future. We have young developing players, cap space to pursue free agents and all our picks plus the Knicks' pick in 2016. We're no more hampered from improving in the future than any other team by signing Lowry, all it does is make us better in the present.

Yeah maybe he'll fall off in a couple of years and we have to ride out a bad season or 2 on his deal but there's plenty of space for this team to improve even if that is the case.

No, I would have traded him last year, you know....when everyone was saying to trade him :yeshrug:

Again, how are you going to improve moving forward? Masai traded Gay and couldn't even get a 2nd round pick thrown in, where are the assets to trade for better players? Unless you plan of hitting a homerun in FA, how are you going to improve with picks in the 23-26 range.

I don't get how you can look at the East and not see teams loading up and improving and see how that will project towards your own success in a year or two.



Statistically, the Spurs had 1 top 20 player, 1 top 40 player and 1 top 50 player, the Raptors had only 1 of any of those last year and 1 of those this year.

Traded him for pennies... Doesn't do much.

Toronto isn't in a bad position. Sign a player to an already good team (easier to sell this, then sign to a terrible team) or hit once with a first round pick and they're set. Raptor's got an extra first rounder (Knicks/Denver pick). They already got young players that will likely improve.. Val, Ross, Bruno. That's a lot better then the 'plan' you put forward.

Demar and Val both look better this year. Val could easily become a top 50 player, and Demar is probably already there.

:wtf:

How am I wrong when the entire premise of my argument was that it was a stupid LONG TERM move and you're @'ing me after 6 games into the first year of his deal? Breh, I told you the Nets would beat the Raptors before the series, you argued with me that the Raptors would win, you were wrong. Check my history, I always admit when I'm wrong, that's why people still take my opinion seriously because I have no prob admitting it. But this? Nah...I know what's going to happen here.

:dead: @ Barring a career crippling injury, he's only 6'0" and about to be 29, it's not going to take some horrific destruction to his body for him to start to lose value. At the position he plays, it only takes losing 1 step....1.

You wrong cuz you aint Miss Cleo and you dont know how that contract gonna finish out...He looking good the team good we good....Right now you taking the L.

We crushing Philly now, about to be 6-1. If Cleveland can't fix things then you gotta consider the Raptors the favorites to come out the East. Funny thing is, we haven't even come close to playing our best ball until we beat the Wizards last night. Something special is brewing here.
