Spring Break My Heart posted:The Ringer just talked about the Ewing theory applying to the Raptors. God that website sucks so bad It's super clear that they didn't watch the team last year except for the playoffs because yeah, a fully healthy team is better than one where OG's appendix exploded, Kawhi had one leg, Kyle was wearing an oven mitt off the court because his hand was so busted, and Danny had the yips

Spacebump posted:I have a question that has come up before specifically for Raptors fans. Which players do y’all think the franchise should retire jerseys of? Lowry, then DeMar. Love Bosh, but he didn't really do enough here. Vince probably would have had a chance if we never won a championship, but it won't happen now. Kawhi just wasn't here long enough.

Ghost Dog posted:idk how listing lovely players is an argument against putting great ones in. the cavs cannot retire lebrons jersey while eric snow languishes. espn really did some work on people's brains during the VC retirement tour. Great player, sure, but what seperates him from Demar other than a 3 ball, cute face, and complete lack of loyalty? If there's a way we can just retire his dunk contest performance, that'd be for the best

Declan MacManus posted:isn’t bosh your all time leading scorer I put together a list of the #2 and #3 scoring leaders for the post-ABA franchises sans Miami, because I wanted to see how Bosh stacks up to other guys in some kind of context. Pelicans David West, 8 seasons, not retired Chris Paul, 6 seasons Grizz Marc Gasol, 11 seasons Zach Randolph, 8 seasons Raptors Chris Bosh, 7 seasons, not retired Kyle Lowry, 8 seasons Mavs Rolando Blackman, 11 seasons, jersey retired Mark Aguirre, 8 seasons, not retired Timberwolves Andrew Wiggins, 6 seasons KAT, 5 seasons Orlando Nick Anderson, 10 seasons, not retired Vucevic, 8 seasons Hornets Dell Curry, 10 seasons, not retired Gerald Wallace, 7 seasons, not retired Out of the active players, the only guaranteed guys I see getting their jerseys retired are Marc+Zach (because Grit and Grind was way more than just basketball) and Kyle, too early to talk about KAT yet. Mark Aguirre is a really good parallel to Bosh here, he put up numbers for a bunch of years in Dallas before he got traded to Detroit and won a couple rings. If Dallas isn't thirsty enough to retire his jersey, Toronto shouldn't feel pressured to retire Bosh's. However, Minnesota should absolutely retire Wiggins' 22.

Vinestalk posted:To be fair, couldn't you say Vince Carter was more than just a ROY, All Star, and Dunk contest winner? The guy made an atrocious Toronto team enjoyable to watch, took them to their first playoffs, and inspired Canadian kids to actually play basketball. Could Antwan Jamison have done the same thing? Would the Raptors have stayed in Canada if they didn't have that amazing surge? Sure, people can say what they want. I also think it's reasonable for a franchise to not want to retire the jersey of a player who was as toxic in their last year as Vince was.

I didn't write down my standing predictions, but I do remember being down on the Lakers for only having Rondo at pg and thinking Middleton, Tatum, Kemba, and Jaylen Brown were all bums after their international showing. I was also higher on the grizz than most people I know, but it was because they drafted a Canadian and I was positive that JJJ was on his way to the hall of fame as opposed to why they were actually pretty good.

Draymond's closest career comp on basketball reference is Gordon Hayward, which makes sense when you consider the hidden "hated by teammates" and "voted as an all-star under suspicious circumstances" stats
