Mockup of the new uniforms:

Garbage. I hate everything about his rebrand.

 

[Highlander23]

I wouldn't be at all suprised to see him trade the pick for help now. Either in a large deal or maybe for a young guy they want / wanted. Aka enis.

No kidding, all those jerseys look like **** too.

We are the raptors....not sure why we can't have our purple raptor jerseys back. The jerseys weve been wearing since are soooo dull.

 

[theaub]

Those unis look pretty much the exact same as the current ones...

Really like that alternate

Haha, Wizards. **** Paul Pierce!

Raptors Face Decisions With Six Pending Free Agents

http://www.nba.com/raptors/raptors-face-several-free-agent-decisions-offseason

Amir Johnson

How he became a Raptor: Amir Johnson came to the Raptors in an offseason trade with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2009. Johnson spent the first four years of his career with the Detroit Pistons and was a little used reserve who was also the last player to be drafted directly from high school with Detroit’s 56th overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. After being sent to the Bucks in July, Johnson came to Toronto less than a month later and didn’t take long endearing himself to his new fan base as he explored the city and became one of its most loyal supporters.

What his role has been: Johnson has gone from reserve to starter over his six seasons with the Raptors and made a name for himself as the glue guy on the roster, making everyone better when he was on the floor. For some of his tenure, he’s been the second-best player on the roster. From rebounding (Johnson is 3rd all-time in franchise rebounds) and rejections (2nd all-time) to diving on the floor for loose balls and playing through all sorts of nagging injuries, Johnson has served as an emotional leader in the locker room in recent years.

Where things stand: After becoming a team fixture, it would be strange to envision the Raptors without Johnson, but heading into the offseason that is a scenario that could become reality. The 28-year-old Johnson is coming off a five-year contract with the Raptors and is likely to seek out as much security as possible considering the mileage on his body after 10 years in the league. Although Johnson has weathered many ankle sprains and various nagging injuries, he’s proven his heart time and again by leaving everything on the floor. Looking forward, only time will tell if Johnson and the Raptors can agree on a number that works to keep this fan favourite around.

Yes, and the current ones are crap compared to the old purple ones with the dinosaur.

Edit: in my opinion of course.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

My god, James Harden is ridiculous.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Epic collapse by the Clippers but man the Rockets are so good. Can't wait for the Warriors vs Rockets match-up.

Now, all teams with home court advantage have won their respective series except for you know who.

 

[Radiohead]

My god, James Harden is ridiculous.

It's crazy that he sat on the bench for pretty much the entire 4th quarter of game 6 during the comeback.

 

[Joey24]

My god, James Harden is ridiculous.

Yup it's like he's allowed to hold the ball and run to the rim without being called for a travel. Oh waite a minute....

That guy gets away with so much at both ends of the floor. His travels are legendary.....

He doesn't travel. It looks like a travel because as he picks the ball up he takes the step. But it happens so so quick because of how quick he is and it looks like 3 steps.

 

[EpochLink]

A "Drake" jersey, you're kidding me!?!

 

[Swervin81]

That's carrying.

 

[KapG]

Lebron travels more than harden I think.

 

[McDeepika]

Irving travels more than both of them IMO.

 

[Rielly Good]

That's carrying.

It's hard to explain if I had the time I'd post a video on youtube where someone explains it. It's perfectly legal it just looks like travel or a carry.
It's the step essentially right after the ball bounces the last time. He is amazing at it. So is D Wade and Ginobli.

Anyways, Ross better be gone or pushed to play back up sg instead. Also it would fantastic if we could somehow get Ed Davis back.

 

[Rielly Good]

Lebron travels more than harden I think.

Shifting the pivot foot seems to be the new trend and they almost never call it. Kind of stupid. But, if you fake a jumper and move your foot an inch they always call that travel. They need to focus more haha
