OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[GEEMAN]

Too bad we didn’t have a piece to move for him. Fuck what a shock to wake up to

He could have joined Bichette for calf therapy sessions

 

[JackBurton]

This is the most shocking trade since Gretzky IMO.

 

[mbow30]

this is like Tavares and a first for mcdavid

 

[Killer93]

Mavs drunk or what? Absolute fleecing by the Lakers

 

[Volcanologist]

Must be nice to be a Laker fan

 

[MindzEye]

Not surprised at all moving on from Luca .
I don't think they trust his conditioning and health moving forward with these calf and hammie injuries.

I am shocked he wasn't shopped around with the best possible package prior to the deadline.

I think Dallas wanted no part of the supermax extension .

Lakers get their marketing piece for the next decade

Yeah but this is insanely dumb...sign him to the supermax and trade him in the summer but with every team in the league putting in a bid.

It is……I’m still stunned it actually happened. This is a move for the long term as much as the present. Definitely need another big and a fitter Luka and it will be FUN…

 

[zeke]

Yeah well fuck your happiness.

Absolutely no idea WTF they were thinking

 

[zeke]

in some ways the Mavs are a spoiled franchise, with drafting Dirk then Luka.

but they probably just made themselves an irrelevant nba franchise unless they luckily draft an all-timer again.

 

[Killer93]

Fire Mark Cuban!!

 

[GEEMAN]

This is the most shocking trade since Gretzky IMO.

I think the Wayne move was expected due to finances at that time. Lots of chatter about Pock needing a cash infusion.

it IS a nice tidbit that he sold his majority stake a year ago to this trump megadonor bitch.





Texas deserves this.

Agreed. Because it was 88', we didn't have access to the rumours like we would today.

 

[Fred the Man]

Yeah well fuck your happiness.

Wait until Luka comes into camp at 270 pounds with that LA media. Hes lived a bit of a charmed life in Dallas where winning is nice but not the expectation and everything will be Luka's fault if they lose because he was fat or injured

I think also he played for his country every chance he could and didn't give his body proper rest. Lots of shite behind the scenes we don't know.

He will get injured again , those soft tissue tears don't heal well. But being a fat fuck won't go well in LA.

Curious if LeGm had anything to do with this trade

LeGM found out while at dinner with his family. Apparently had no idea until it was done.

boucher and olynyk playing well in this one.

but they sat out to lose the last one. either a trade fell through or that was an ultra tank move.
