Raptors dead last with the Cavaliers. A below average mark. How true is that? I think the principal is picking on them.

Do we know what next year's #1 in the draft is shaping up as? If he's really good, I'm fine with finishing last. I don't have much confidence in this year's team. I've almost lost all confidence in Colangelo. It'll be an interesting year to say the least.

The Nets got pretty much nothing from finishing dead last. Are we guaranteed a 1st pick if we end up that bad?

70% it will be Harrison Barnes(if he doesn't suck in college) who just graduated high school and is at North Carolina University.

If the Raptors are looking for a PG they should pick Kyrie Irving or Brandon Knight.

We're not guaranteed the 1st pick if we finish last but we have the best chance (lottery system). I was just curious if a Kobe or Lebron type was possibly on their way up. Though I assume if that was the case, we'd be hearing about him by now. Either way, seems the raps are going to A) continue to not spend over the soft cap and and be marginal at best and B) continue to sign Euro trash. So maybe it's time to cut the GM loose, tank for 2-3 years, get some good draft picks and stop signing Europeans!! That experiment failed. If Colangelo signs one more of them I'm going to scream!

Exclaimer: I do not hate Europeans, I just hate when a team continues to sign Europeans players that would otherwise not make it on any decent team in the league.

Your disclaimer saved you there
I was about to refer to Pau Gazol, Nowitski, Parker and others who carry teams on their shoulder to decent playoff runs.

Calderon was great 2-3 years back. I don't know what a F... happened to him and lost his touch.

We had a great one at a time, his name was Garbajosa (spelling)
