Jack Armstrong is the coolest guy ever.

GKA,
I assumed there would be no salary caps implication in the Parker deal.

As for Bosh guys who I would trade him for.
LeBron, Wade, Dirk, Yao, Duncan, Kobe

No thanks.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because of injuries or because you think Bosh is better?

[/ QUOTE ]
The 8 year age difference, Bosh has better career PPG potential, is a much better FT shooter, can hit the three and has first step quickness better than all other PF's in the league.

At times there is awkwardness between Jack and Chuck. With Leo, it just isn't there. And it's painfully obvious Chuck enjoys working with Leo more.

[Marwan]

lol I notice the akwardness b/w Chuck and Jack.. sometimes it's argumentative, which leads to akward silences or quck changing of the subject.. with Leo and Chuck it's all just good banter back and forth, nobody takes themselves too seriously.

1st of all, I don't know about many of the local broadcasters, but Chuck Swirsky is the best play by play guy I've ever heard. Also, I wouldn't trade Bosh simply because of the fan base as one poster alluded to earlier. Yes, there are better players out there (Kobe not one of them), but I also see Bosh as a guy with his head on straight and someone who is really motivated to get better and better.

Joey Graham, while lacking with some skills is absolute money on that 18 foot jump shot.

It was incredible to see an experienced guy come in here and show how it's done. Jalen and his 15 million or so a year was gone 10 minutes after BC got here as well as all that dead weight chewing into the cap at the end of the bench (although to be fair I think Emery had the Rose trade locked before Colangelo got here).

Yes, you are correct in the second statement. Wayne Emery did complete that trade prior to Bryan's arrival.

I just started recently watching the Raptors (caught their last 5 or 6 games), and they're my new favorite adopted team.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but it always seems like you can hear the crowd cheering. Is this b/c Raptors' fans are more cheerful than other fans, b/c they do sound work to intentionally make it seem like a party atmosphere, or just due to my imagination? Asking if anyone else notices this?

Uno Dos Tres Catorce.

It's because were winning. Toronto like all sports cities is very fair weathered.

Toronto is more fickle than any other city, at least over the sports teams they possess, as seen by the deals with Raycroft on the Leafs.
