Let it go my fellow Torontonian.
Damon wasted his career and regrets leaving, Carter & T-Mac are NOT franchise players (just doing their best imitation of one), and same could be said with Bosh.

If Toronto invested heavy money into these guys, (at best) we could breifly be another Atlanta Hawks for a year or two; spend too much for limited talent to lead the team.

Patience...and don't listen to some of the negative Yanks...they just don't like to share the league.

So rather than make the playoffs and while watching some of the best scorers the league has seen in their prime, you'd rather it work out how it did?

A T-Mac/Carter duo in their prime would have been awesome to watch

This coming from Mr. D!kc Slapper....I like the guy but he is a dirty player that no one rarely calls him out on it.

Not enough love to sign an extension w/ the Clips?

"I have an after-school program there that is for kids in inner-city schools."

Maybe thats why Chris...hes a good dude and does a ton of work in the community where he plays also here in NC where hes from. Plenty of high paid players never do jack sqaut in the cities where they play other than some basketball camp.

Dude leave the Hawks alone!!!! You guys are decades away from being anywhere close to Hawks LOL

"I don't know why they love me".

OK I do. This is a sports starved society. NO needs SOMEONE to love when it comes to NBA. It can't be Gordon. It can't be Jarrett Jack. Not Kaman.
So by default is it sill CP3.

If I were in the NBA I would be giving back to the upper middle class. Everyone seems to forget the kids from my neighborhood!

CP3 is full of sh** if he loved it that much believe me he could have worked out something..........

With Bosh, we didn't even make the playoffs the last year he was on the team (I believe). LOL...I wouldn't call him "one of the best scorers the league has ever seen"
My goodness, lets keep a LITTLE perspective, please.

Carter was a shadow of himself near the end of his time in Toronto, if you happened to watch him then. Didn't see any change for the better once he left, either.
T-Mac was/is an injury-riddled player since he left, and along with another D/L guy Yao did what besides "entertain" (tease, really) the fans in Houston.

Damon...meh.

Am I thrilled at where the Raptors are?
Of course not, they could do better.
But I don't think we need to mimic NY and throw max deals at Amare-like players that won't accomplish much on a team except "entertain (tease, really) us with a brief glimpse of success.

Lol...I would sincerely hope that the Raptors set their sight on higher accomplishments then being like the Hawks.
