D. Smith: Raptors might look at AK47 & Ilyasova?

jeffb · 04-27-2012, 04:05 PM

Don't think i want Kirilenko, but again, i'd like Ilyasova.

I haven't really looked at too many rosters that closely to even guess who is available; I do imagine they'd reach out to Kirilenko; and maybe Ilyasova. But that's a guess right now

With Kirilenko and a healthy Bargnani, we'd be in the playoff hunt this year.

dfunkie1 · 04-27-2012, 04:26 PM

if casey isn't going to tolerate mistakes, he won't be tolerating kirilenko. he's way to erratic. i'd much rather go ahead with johnson.

I would love AK47 here but for some reason I suspect he'd end up in Jersey.

Thug · 04-27-2012, 04:55 PM

Man fuck this team if we waste our valuable money on Kirilenko or Ilyasova.

You were expecting Deron Williams? lol

And Doug is obviously pulling this out of his oversized ass. It's early and we're going to get rumor after rumor for the next two months. We need to Chill a little.

Oh, the money is not a problem, so long as he agrees to sign. As far as how much - there is a limit there based on the years served and that's what we call the max, him being the max player and all.

Anyone else so sick and tired of the Raptors being the default team to link to every Euro player?

"Oh, he's Eruopean? The Raptors might make a run"
"Who will the Raps look at this off-season? Euro, Euro, Euro"

If he's a good player i don't give a fuck if he's from mars. Do we have scouts there?

I am. And it has nothing to do with the Europeans and everything to do with rumour mongers.

Might have to do with the Raptors very intentional strategy of signing non-american players because they tend to want to leave toronto for the US as soon as their contract is up...

....?

PG - Spain
SG - could use a Frenchmen here

SF - Russia or Turkey
PF - Italy
C - Lithuania

Well, at the last Nike Hoop Summit World Team beat Team USA, so perhaps Raps are onto something there...

Of course, it'd be nice to draft Andrew Wiggins (or Enders, as I call him sometimes).

so we have money to offer him max and so with other teams and the only question is if we wants to here...then its impossible to get him...

Where is AK anyways?

dfunkie1 · 04-27-2012, 06:01 PM

the motherland

LOG · 04-27-2012, 06:13 PM

I really like AK 47 and he was one of my favorite players for a while, because of his defense. But it seems that with age he is getting worse, not sure if our young team would need a player like him. On other hand if we can get him cheap (yea right..) than do it!

AK47's in Glagow from recent reports
