I would have given up a first round pick for him. Now they shipped his ass off to Canada.

Its a protected pick of some flavor also, which makes the trade even less appealing.

Pau is infinitely better than whatever that pick they gave up is worth. Future firsts in the NBA are trash.

By a lot, but he also costs 20 million dollars and still doesnt make us any sort of contender.

yeah, but I wanted him off the bench backing up KG or Bynum. That scenario is over though.

Plus, Lowry is now the only thing standing between the Raptors and the first pick of the draft. Idiots.

I agree, i'm just wondering what they're doing. They've been staying afloat in mediocrity since McGrady and Yao went to ****, they need to clean house and go young, or try to win now with what they have. I can't imagine they could not find a better deal for Lowry.

RFA's cant sign their deals until July 11th. The Pacers would then have 3 days to match.

Even without Lowry. The talent level of the raptors isn't first overall worthy.

The NBA is a simple sport guys.
If you want to be a true contender, you need to have 1 of the top 7 players in the league on your team. If you don't have that, you're not a true contender.
You can go into the 2nd round of the playoffs, maybe even get lucky and go to the conference finals, but the only true contenders in this league have a top 7 player on their team.
LA - Kobe
Miami - LeBron
OKC - Durant
NYK - Melo
Chicago - Rose
Whoever lands him - Dwight Howard
Everyone else is just a pretender. That's the harsh reality of this league. If you don't have one of those assassins on your roster, you're just a pretender.
Look at Miami. Everyone lol'd about how they have no bench, no center, they don't mesh well and they lack floor spacing.
And what do they do? Go to 2 finals in a row, and win 1. Should have won both if they weren't out of wack mentally last year.
It's all about talent. Star talent. You win in this league with stars. Forget ball movement, forget depth, forget coaching, forget all that ********.
This game is made by stars, and won by stars. That's what it is.
Don't let the basketball purists fool you into believing otherwise. More often than not, the team with the best player on the court will win the game. That's it.
Basketball is a simple sport.

Melo is not a top 7 player and you continue to prove you should not be talking.
