The Goat Pen

There were rumors that they would change the team name as well, which was ridiculous.

Raptors to host All-Star Game in 2016

All the more reason for them to go all-in on Wiggins.

Had Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady stayed together, I think their careers together could've turned out very different. Grunwald should've just given McGrady the offer of max extension, I thought he showed enough by that time that risk was worth it and if he declines that, well, then you get one year...

Don't see this great potential Casey is talking about. And quite frankly, his words don't inspire any confidence cause he has been saying some dumb things last season, making some outrageous claims, and has had trouble following through on his words with action. Ross is athletic, yes, but he lacks c...

They just said out loud what we all knew to be true. So what? We all know he's not consulting anybody. He gets paid to sit at home while out searching for another job. As for the new regime, I find nothing to be excited about Ujiri era so far. Just meaningless moves that really doesn't do anything a...

Another meh signing. The moves made so far, don't point in any direction. Meaning, nothing that's been done is enough whichever way they want to go. Still not good enough to be a definite playoff team nor bad enough to be top pick contender. Just hope they realize, the worst thing they can do is rid...

Wow, I actually agree with Sotola. Not entirely as offer of just Stuckey and Vilanueva leaves bad taste in my mouth. I have a feeling that might have been leaked as the absolute base of what we will accept for Rudy Gay so that other teams could start bidding if they wished to. Essentially, this team...

Finally. And they actually got some value back for Bargnani. Break Bargnani's contract into littler pieces and get the draft picks, which are crucial to a team like us who can't get shit in FA. Had we had a pick of our own or a pick to trade in this draft, things would've been a lot more interesting...

Myck Kabongo, anyone? With the PG depth being what it is on this team, something's seriously wrong if he at least doesn't get invited to summer league and get serious consideration for a roster spot. Especially now that we officially only have one PG on the roster and possibly in luxury tax territor...

Thompson and now Bennett, Cavs love their Canadians. Seriously, both of them are serious reach and both undersized PF at that. In fact, all their recent picks except Irving has been a surprise reach. I'm not sure what their thought process is. As for Raptors, a lot of noise of wanting a pick but not...

Colangelo resigns.

Wow, expected him to be gone at some point but not this soon. Maybe a sign of things to come? Big changes may be coming or at least will be attempted that will tear the core Colangelo built apart and perhaps Colangelo just couldn't sit and watch? I sincerely hope so.

Wolves should start looking at possibility of moving Love, he likes to talk too much about how the team needs to improve for him to stick around but he doesn't seem to realize his own injuries have been a big part of the problem. Enough teams have been burned hoping a star will stay if they show eno...

Cleveland trying to deal #1 pick left and right and a lot of teams in this draft interested in trading out/down. Never seen a draft with so little enthusiasm in recent memory. I wonder why Ujiri seems so interested in trading into it. Of course, Colangelo has been interested in buying/trading for a ...

I don't think KG deal gets approved. It's too soon and still way too obvious as they've made the knowledge of the negotiations too public. If you are going to do it, you tell everyone involved to keep their trap shut, make sure they do it and do the second deal months later. And even then, you'd hav...

And with that another cycle begins. Don't even know what's the point any more because everybody knows you'll be back recycling same shit again and again.

"no desire to engage with you Yoss." Right, and yet you keep responding. BAH~! More like you don't want to engage because I've called out on your BS. You confess to not even reading posts in full, which is probably a lie if we go by how true your PROMISE turned out to be, and yet you feel ...

I see my comments still being quoted and commented on. LOL so much for ignoring. I knew you just couldn't resist. "lol... now an expert on the CBA. did you read the title of the document?" Unlike you who jumped the gun after just reading the title, I read the body of the article, which cle...

There's no fire if there's a clear cut rule that prohibits such trades and no matter how you slice it, any fool can see Garnet and Rivers are package deal in this case, which is illegal. Can't fault the league for following the rules it has set now, can you? It will be interesting to see how the lea...

As always you lack the reading comprehension or are so desperate that you only hear half-truths, it's getting to be pathetic. Go back and read why they are blocking it. Has more to do with league rules than some conspiracy or league being worried about some competitive balance. "just like all t...

Actually I will respond just to see if you keep your promise because you've been the biggest hypocrite. Seriously, I don't even remember what I had for lunch last week, why the fuck do I want to help you by dragging out some 10+ year old discussion that I vaguely remember just so you can change subj...
