2015/16 Toronto Raptors Season Thread !!

Sullinger tends to let his weight creep up. A one year contract means he has this year to address the issue and play his best for next years re-up on his contract. ONce again we won't have Bird rights on Sullinger either.

I don't believe him, but I do wonder why he'd want to lie about it now.

There was a segment with babcock a fews years ago and he admitted carter did not want to leave but he pulled the plug anyway

There is a reason this guy has never got a full ttime gig ..

We boo Vince but Rob and Richard Peddle were doing a lot of shit behind the scenes

That's what I like - only a one year deal so hopefully's he'll act like he has something to prove. Fitness issues, injury issues, not a great rebounder, reportedly soft.

yeah the 1 year deal works for me too, wish they had a team option with it, just in case he becomes a Biyombo clone!

Luis Scola signs with Brooklyn. Good guy but time to move on.

I think what the raps need after scola is not with us anymore is a veteran guy who can be vocal and calm things down.

Yup and they will have to trade for it as the cap is pretty much gone. I agree though a veteran that can give you a few quality minutes each night and set an example for all the youngsters on this team. Tell them and show them what it takes to be a winner

Currently Lowery is the leader. Not sure who else can step up, Carroll, DeRozan, Joseph?

Is Vince that Veteran voice of leadership? Do I need to include the last name?

not in my opinion. I don't see a fit. My opinion is jaded as I am not a fan. Think he is a jerk!

Ricky was a far bigger jerk. We gladly brought him to the jays!

assume you are talking Henderson. (you realize we are dating ourselves!? LOL) Henderson was brought in as a get me a ring player. Whoever the Raps bring in (assuming they do) will be a veteran that will play, teach lead, and be a calming influence. A ring would be a shock as well as a bonus, as at the moment I don't think the Raps are close.

Yeah I don't see a superstar coming to TO. We need to get lucky with a draft pick one year. I'm happy if we continue to make it deep into conference playoffs for a few years.

It is not T.O that is the issue ... Superstars now team up to make super teams ... 5 years ago Golden State wasn't a sexy destination but now Kevin Durant wants to go there ..

Vince isn't a veteran leadership voice .. He is just a veteran who loves to goof around

 

[frankcastle]

Good deal for Sullinger! A guy who averages double double at the PF position. Exactly what the raptors need.

 

[frankcastle]

Vince is not a leader.

Nor can he play anymore..... there is a video that compiles all of his dunks this season..... it is a short video.

Vince has never been a leader but always a good buddy to all....we have enuff of those!!

When you make 16 dunks in a season you have to start finding other ways to keep yourself on a team.
