Raptors Trade Kapono For Evans

[mfbmike]

Kuzzy is obviously happy his team of euro's and spaniards got a little tougher with this trade. lol, cut him some slack.

If I was a philly native, I'd be stoked as shit too considering the lack of outside threat they previously had.

And the Raptors also save 1-2 mill to try and bring Bosh back, if it gets to that point where they have to match an offer.

[Kuzzy Powers]

That was in the playoffs, in the regular season he has never had an ejection or flagrant foul. Don't believe me? http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/player...?playerId=1828 There you go. Plus Kaman fucked Evans up there, if that's what you want, then ok.

Whats the difference if it was in the playoffs or not? You hurt that you went searching for a stat but failed to recognize something that this entire thread knew happened?

Give it up fool. You were wrong about this before you even opened the thread.

[Kuzzy Powers]

You're dumb as bricks, and completely missed his point.

He's saying Evans is scrappy defensively, and would never let Kobe go off on him.

But for the record, Evans wouldn't be guarding Kobe anyways.

Evans is just a guy that comes in and plays with A LOT of energy, and can change the pace of a game for your team.

Nah I meant that he is the worlds best duel NBA/MMA performer. Evans would've put Kobe Bryant in a guillotine choke if he was in that game.

No, your right, Reggie got ONE flagrant foul in his career, and that is why he is going to do that all year in Toronto and not let any opposing star put up big numbers. All hail Reggie Evans. Please revisit this thread at the end of the season and tell me how many games Reggie effected with his flagrant fouls and ejections that sparked the Raptors to a win.

LMAO @ you thinking I want the guy to get flagrant fouls. The point not only went over your head, it did circles around you and then punched you in the face, and you still dont get it.

Complete fail on your part.

[Obst]

Yeah fail on me, your calling him out on his toughness and pointing on the Kaman play. Yeah I get the point that the guy is an amazing rebounder, but when your saying that he would be the guy to shut Kobe down, because he would be willing to take Kobe out just doesn't make sense.

I said HE'D PUT KOBE ON HIS ASS. He would foul him hard under the rim and try to make it tougher for him to score. Obviously hes not even guarding Kobe, how is he going to shut him down? Good lord.

I pointed out the Kaman play because you said he has NO FLAGRANT FOULS OR EJECTIONS.

This may be the dumbest argument in this forums history, from the moment you opened this thread its been fail.

Furthermore.. how often does a guy go for 82 points? The chances of us finding out if Evans would be able to change whether or not Kobe goes for 82 pts is slim. But when im thinking of guys in the NBA that id want to take a hard foul, a flagrant if needed, on a star.. id put Reggie Evans right up there.

[Obst]

Ok I failed.
Have fun boasting about Evans this year while he sets illegal screens, has no offensive game, plays below average defense, but atleast he will shut all the stars in the NBA down by putting them on their ass, like he did here in Philly....you got a good rebounder and a guy who is going to put all his effort on the court, but go ahead and keep posting "YOU FAIL" as your the one who thinks he gets flagrant fouls and ejections when stars go off against the team he is on. When the only proof you have of him getting ejected was when he grabbed a dudes nuts and then got thrown on the floor, which Evans did nothing about. And I'm pretty sure Kaman wasn't going off on the Nuggets, Evans just wanted to box him out, couldn't do it and did something illegal to try to get the board. Where was he when Dwight Howard punched Sammy D in the face this year in the playoffs? He didn't come on the court and try to put Howard on his ass. But like I said, have fun, be happy, enjoy the fact the Evans is on your roster, and continue to tell me I'm an idiot. It's ok.

I am enjoying the fact that Evans is now on our roster, and also enjoying trying to make you realize how far this point has gone over your head.

You're proving my point every time you mention the Kaman incident. Evans is willing to be a dirty player and he proved it. Thats one of the dirtiest plays in NBA history. Is that even arguable?

If you would've read you would've seen where I said Evans is useless on offense. You also would've read where I said "it now sounds like im overrating Evans bcus im defending him", which would imply im not attemtping to overrate the guy, despite your greatest efforts of trying to make it sound like im overhyping Evans, I was just making a point, which, again.. went far, far over your head.

The money we saved will be used on a FA or in a trade. We can offer more money than any other team for Bosh already because of league rules. And we don't have to match any offer since he's becoming a UFA not RFA.

true, forgot about that.

I love these debates where someone senses they're losing and it's all "YOU FAIL!!! YOU FAILL!!!!11". The best way to realize you're winning an argument is when the other person starts hailing insults.

You, Kuzzy, tried to make the point that Reggie Evans was an enforcer, but Evans is far from that. He's tough on the boards, and that's all he is. He will not come in and put someone on their ass. He never has, and he never will. He's there to grab rebounds because he's got more determination when the ball is in the air than mostly everyone else in the NBA.

Does that make him an enforcer? No. Does that make him someone you'd put in the game to "put Kobe on his ass?" No. That makes him the guy you put in the game for 15 minutes to try and get you as many extra possessions as possible. Does that make him a lesser player? No. He does his job and he's damn good at it. However, Evans is nothing like what you think he is.

Will he improve the Raptors? He quite possibly could. The Raptors need better guys on the glass and Evans is a guy who can do that. On the other hand, Evans could be taking time from Pops who is also a good rebounder who can do the same kind of things as Evans just as good if not better than Evans.

[A Tasty Burgerr]

not to take away from your solid post but I believe Pops is a unrestricted free agent

Name me 10 NBA players you'd rather have as an enforcer on your team than Reggie Evans?

I say he failed because he did. Next time you try to come to the rescue for someone atleast do it for a worth while cause. When you say you've never had a flagrant or an ejection in your career and its obvious to everyone that he has, a very famous one, thats a big time fail.

Evans is a tough guy and isnt afraid to bang down low. He brings toughness to the team. This is what ive been saying all thread. If you dont realize that he brings toughness to the team then you dont know Reggie Evans. Sorry.

Yeah you know Reggie Evans, you pick one play off youtube to define his toughness, but thats the only play that has ever shown him getting a flagrant foul. But be my guest and respond with you fail.
