Raptors Discussion: v97 Raptor's 2024-2025 - Training camp begins Oct. 1

Turns our Kawhi needed the Raptors more than they needed him. Doesn’t look like he is going to win this year either. People need to realize how special the 2019 team was. Kawhi has not won anything since.

He chose home over winning (with the caveat that LAC pretended that they could win).

Serves him right. He deserves nothing after playing us the way he did.

We knew he was gonna do that as soon as the trade happened. I think with the team winning a championship surprised everyone and probably made him actually think about staying here for another year. He's a 2X champion so idk how we can hate the guy for wanting to just get paid to play at home after helping us win our very 1st championship in his only season here.

His body broke down pretty much immediately after. They blew that 2020 series against Denver in classic Doc Rivers choke fashion, then Kawhi's knees imploded and it was c'est la vie. Raptors staff handled him excellently and built a group around him to insulate him as well when needed.

Also love that local boy Jamal Murray (along with Joker of course) has been shitting on the LA teams consistently in crunch time.

That’s hilarious.

I have little to nothing to add to this thread at this point, but that made me laugh hard.

Quick question, would a player like KawHi make the basketball hall of fame? I have no idea what players need. Seems like he has won BUT injured so much. Probably no? Actually his numbers do look pretty good hmm. i did more research and basketball reference gives him around 90% chance. Lowry is at %85

So... Patrick Beverley threw a ball at a fan in the stands twice at the end of yesterday's Bucks game and then in the locker room media scrum afterwards he asked a reporter who was questioning him if she subscribed to his podcast. When she said she didn't he told her that she wasn't allowed to ask him questions and demanded that she get out of the scrum before he would continue with others. Not that it matters but said reporter is a veteran producer at ESPN so it's not like he was railing at some kid with a blog (or a competing podcast) or whatever.

What an absolute knob. I'm curious how big of a book he gets thrown at him for his nonsense. the ball-chucking stuff should be inexcusable (I think he claims the fan was shouting racial slurs at him, which is every bit as inexcusable if not more, but you still don't chuck a ball at a person with violent intent. Twice.)

Man Lebron must be almost impossible to play with and coach! Lakers fried their coach. Obviously a Lebron move I am sure.

This is crazy. Drake's security guard shot in a drive-by at Drake's house in the Bridle Path.

Security guard shot, seriously injured outside of Drake’s Toronto mansion

A security guard working at Drake’s Bridle Path mansion in Toronto was seriously injured in a shooting outside the residence early Tuesday morning.

raps could get screwed due to the trade a couple of years ago

 

[trellaine201]

Would be nice to pick first lol

 

[robertmac43]

5 years already, time is flying.

 

[djdev]

i hope we convey the pick and get it over with personally

 

[trellaine201]

Ya maybe a good idea. Then you know what's in front of you as an organization.

The flip side is that if the Raps win the lottery and pick Sarr, next year's might not be a lottery pick

Or win the lotto and flip picks with SA to get the ‘25 back.

Edit to add: it’s at 3pm? Cool. Should break up the work day (;

Plus next year’s pick still has protections. I think it turns to a second at some point.
