I only like it cause they compare the players to other players. Embid: Olanjuwon and Duncan.

The thing is that those awful comparisons are one of the reasons why they are such a joke. Olajuwon, okay it's a good ceiling comparison for him, but Embiid is nothing at all like Duncan.

Their biggest fuck up was their extreme hype of Ivan Chiairev, who turned out to be a terrible player. They said he was going to be the first 7' point guard and had him as high as I think maybe #3 in their mock. We was never drafted and never made a mark on professional basketball at any level.

Jason Kidd thinks he's qualified to be president of basketball operations for an NBA team.

Raptors somehow got Lou Williams (And Bebe Nogueira) from Atlanta for John Salmons...

Might not be that big of a difference maker but still good value. And Lou's contract expires next year and is only about 4.5 this year so no risk.

Raptors got that Brazillian World Cup fever.

I hope we get Pau Gasol. Him and Jefferson in the post would be good.

Just sign!
