Matt Thomas signs with Toronto
- Thread starter jcisuclones
- Start date
He was making some very difficult shots, too. When he wasn't stepping out of bounds on the sideline, he was hitting fadeaway jumpers off the dribble nearly behind the hoop and making it look easy. He bailed us out of a lot of bad possessions with shots like those.
Living in LA and absorbing some of the local drama it's not at all a stretch to point out that the Raptors are simply a better run organization at this time. Not that the Lakes haven't been in the past, but they are a soap opera right now.
Exactly my point. If you think it’s not an advantage to be able to go to Foster and say “I’ve put 10 guys in the NBA, how many does Fran have?” I don’t know what to tell you. But I’m just a retard.
I'd hit agree but I don't want to agree w last sentence.
Could someone please list ToE folks on NBA rosters...
I will:

The downside of having to wait for Leonard’s decision was that by the time Kawhi went west, the roster-revamping options for an already capped-out Raptors team were pretty slim. Stanley Johnson and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson are interesting buy-low candidates—a pair of physical 6-foot-7 forwards with great length (a 6-foot-11.5-inch wingspan for Johnson, 7-foot-2 for Hollis-Jefferson) who can defend multiple positions, and who should bolster an already athletic and versatile group of defenders that includes Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Norman Powell, and Patrick McCaw. But unless they can suddenly learn to shoot—Johnson has the lowest effective field goal percentage of any player to log at least 5,000 minutes since he entered the league, and fellow 2015 draftee Hollis-Jefferson has the fourth-lowest—the Raptors offense will probably feel a lot more congested and a lot less potent than it did with Leonard and Green spacing the floor. (Maybe second-unit pairings with Spanish league sharpshooter Matt Thomas could loosen things up.)
