TEAM UP just got a little bit more interesting.

Houston going with the 10 PF rotation next year.

What is amusing about this?

[ralaw]

It's amusing because he's going to Toronto, which is a place I highly doubt he wanted to be traded to. You're Candadian and this is your team, so......

[stevsta]

so calderon is as good as amnestied or did the raptors forget he was there like the rest of us

Based on what?

Shame on me for believing you were far less ignorant than this.

Jose may get amnestied. Im sure he'll have no problem catching on somewhere else. Other than his complete lack of defense (not lack of effort mind you) you wont hear me say anything bad about Jose. He never really got the respect he deserved. He may even be a better fit to the team than Lowry. Remains to be seen.. im hoping for the best.

It's about time they got some help for Amir Johnson. :puft:

You should know how I feel about the Raptors by now.........they should look to build around international players. I don't see Lowry being there anytime past his contract. This has nothing to do with being ignorant....maybe you should stop being so sensitive.

Its ignorant because you're making assumptions based on nothing. That is exactly what ignorance is. You came in and contributed a smiley to this thread based on nothing.

They may end up starting 3 international players next year. How much more international do you want them to be. They tried to get Dragic already to keep the trend up.

This is whats so retarded about fans of the NBA. They want teams to stand by and do nothing to progress and get better. As if the model of how OKC built their team is just so cut and dry easy for other teams to do.

But hey, thanks for contributing the to this thread, your insight has been great.

[ralaw]

LOL, I'm not sure what you are talking about, but okay. I'm only going off of the history of the franchise. I don't see any issue with me making an assumption, based on my opinion, which is what we do everyday. I think you're being sensitive, but its understandable.

Including the Raptors I actually think the NBA should do away with a few NBA teams, so don't get too upset.
