Calling bullshyt on the Serge story since it doesn't make any sense at all

Just sounds like teams calling about Serge & then it being reported like the Thunder are calling everybody.

Maybe they're looking for a tweener SF/PF or SG after seeing how the Cavs were able to use RJ to beat the Warriors.


Like, if you had Butler you could play Roberson at the small ball 4.

 

[Brozay]

He'll never be the defender Giannis is though, that's part of what makes Giannis so special is the elite shot blocking potential and overall defensive versatility.

i agree, but its the only comparison that makes sense for me for Simmons

 

[Box Factory]

DX has the Raptors going with Skal at #9 and Cheick at #27 right now. If this was last summer, I'd be ecstatic but after having watched them play this year

Chad Ford has us taking Thon Maker at #27 even after the age debacle

How do you feel about skal, I think I'm the only Raptors fan that wouldn't hate it

 

[DoubleClutch]

How old is Thom Maker brehs?

I think Giannis is more fluid in his movements, Ben looks so stiff, but there are so few point forwards in the league (Giannis, LeBron, Dray) that it works to compare them.


@Miggs Skal, yay or nay?

He cant be over 25, so worst case scenario your getting a player right in his prime

Honestly Draymond is my comparison, but better offensively and weaker defensibly.


Also hes a terrible shooter right now.

Makes since since toronto schools hoop programs probably are a part of hiding his age

Seems like African immigrants get away with this type of thing all the time over there

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

No matter what happens tonight, KAT can't get drafted away from the squad

Great video @Derek Lee KAT just a natural leader. I have no doubts about the playoffs next year

 

[Big Boss]

Should be lit tonight

I honestly don't hate it either. Every other big man on the board has some sort of limitation that would prevent them from making a positive contribution to this team. Sabonis is un-athletic and plays below the rim. Deyonta Davis is foul-prone and can't really do anything on the offensive end yet. Skal is skinny and soft. Ellenson is soft and a turnstile on defense. They would all play on the 905 anyways, so why not swing for the fences

You pretty much have to stand pat if you're resigning DeMar. Why would they go over the max and take on additional salary for someone like a Thad Young? Someone like him, Kenneth Faried or even Serge Ibaka wouldn't solve our problems. All those of players (except maybe Thad Young) signed big deals then promptly declined in performance. The #9 pick is not going to bring us back someone significant, especially after the George Hill for #12 deal.

Pretty sure @Miggs hates the idea of skal (understandably ).

@Tony_Bromo happy for you breh
