Kings drop Raps + Parker speaks + Colangelo wanted Marion?

If you’ve been reading this space for a while you know that post-game wrap-ups around here are usually filled with emotion, disgust, joy and a wide range of feelings which are usually towards the farther ends of the spectrum of happiness and despair. So when I report with almost no emotion whatsoever that the Raptors…

The Saturday Morning Post: What’s next for the Raptors?

Let’s look at the changes to our roster so far: Additions: Roko Ukic, Jermaine O’Neal, Nathan Jawai Subtractions: TJ Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, Maceo Baston, Carlos Delfino Bryan Colangelo is working towards having a “nice, lean roster” for next year which sounds like a good enough idea. What he doesn’t mention is having an athletic roster…

Draft endorses TJ Ford trade but Colangelo too quiet

First off, thanks to everybody who participated in the live draft blog, those who stayed through the whole 5 hours and the ones who swung by for 20 minutes. It was fun. After a night of wheeling and dealing in New York where the Raptors were hardly involved in anything, there is a new light…

T minus 1: No sign of what the Raptors might do

Let’s start off the day with Chad Ford’s mock draft which insists on us taking Robin Lopez at #17. I don’t see it happening unless Brandon Rush, CDR or even Donte Greene are already taken. There’s no doubt that drafting a hustle-type big man is the easier thing to do, there’s far less expectations from…

TJ Ford + #17 + Rasho for Jermaine O’Neal

Update: Deal goes down! The Indianapolis Star is reporting. This is also confirmed (copied?) by Doug Smith. Obviously we’re taking a big gamble if this goes down but I’m all for the proactive nature of this deal, once again giving up the #17 pick hurts but I wouldn’t be terribly upset at this move. O’Neal’s…

Sunday shakedown

The free agent camp continued yesterday but so far no reporter has covered the proceedings. Check Smith’s or Grange’s blog, maybe they got something. Eric Smith tells us of some of the things he saw. There’s also this scrum interview with Marerresse Speights. I know I’m reaching to get the Raptor fill for this post.…

More workouts, Houston likes Rush and Arsenalist’s Friday Mailbag

More workouts yesterday as Roy Hibbert and Donte Greene showed of their game. Nicolas Batum called in sick even though he had taken a physical on Wednesday, the Raptors hope to reschedule something with him before next Thursday but its going to be tough. Eric Smith did a blog about the workouts although he’s not…

TJ Ford, Raptorulosis Fasciitis and Cuban’s load of crap

Its hard being rational in the summertime when there’s absolutely nothing going on and the only thing one can do is speculate on free agent acquisitions, hypothetical trades, possible draft choices and when the barrel will hit $250. Its like a disease that starts around May and ends around October, call it Raptorulosis Fasciitis. Its…
