    that's always a plus in my books because it shows maturity, which many of these athletes seem to lack
    That's definitely a plus with this guy. He has been known for being classy.

    **** that, we should bring in Jefferson. He's better on offense and doesn't bring the drama.

    Oh dear... Dealing Ross really scares me because we don't know what his ceiling is yet... I'm really scared if he was included in talks and what we get back better make my jaw hit the ground!

    and Bosh to the Heat to join Wade. That would've been awesome... I would've respected LeBron way more if he went there.
    Why have great rivals when you can join them and have none.... Lebron James where losing the spirit of competition happens!

    It's hard to get enough classy players but now a days they are harder and harder to come by.

    Aside from Lowry Colangelo has done a great job in bringing in guys with the right mentality.

    agreed. I watched about 4 mins before I turned it off. I don't wanna hate on the guy, cuz it'd be unfair to judge him on a trade I didn't want to happen without giving him a chance, but I just have a general distaste for these types of press conferences. Nothing new will be said, and all of us here are just gonna discuss in in far more detail anyway.

    I think that's a consistent 2nd round team with the chance to make the ECF if things went right.
    highly doubt that unless JV became REALLY good. Smith is solid but can be an idiot and lose you games. And he's garbage in the playoffs

    During the press con, BC made mention that they have been targeting three players and one of them is Gay.

    I think the other two could be Iggy and Deng.

    Yes or something to that effect. It was on the first part of the presser.

    I heard rumors that he was coveting Iggy for quiet sometime as well but the Lowry factor could have weighed more for him.

    This move to me shows that we are a big market team and we will start to show it. First the Jays then the Raptors Leafs probably make some kind of big move soon. It wouldn't surprise me.
