merged thread with one that already existed for the SAME FREAKING TOPIC which was coincidentally also started by Jeffb.

crap.

RAPMAN · 07-03-2009, 01:59 PM

I hope that contract is front-loaded. If the contract goes down, it shows the true intention of the Raptors' franchise to KEEP BOSH. Time to sign Marion.

whatever

I just hope this is true. But the main question is. Why the fuck would Marion hesitate on that money? Obviously he doesn't want to be here.

macs · 07-03-2009, 02:06 PM

i think this would've been a bit easier if we don't have on the PF/C posts. O'Bryant, Kris, Jawai, Pops while the SG & SM posts are deficient. one of those guys would have to go..

For my eyes only.

Am I the only one who's not super fantastically excited over this?

macs · 07-03-2009, 02:15 PM

see my message above... crap.

If this is true, and Bosh is staying. Then, more of the same next year, folks.

For the most part yes. The fact is, Marion gets signed then the other domino's can start to fall.

Delfino, Kleiza, Rasho?, AP trade, maybe getting Belineli? And Marion is by far our best option @ SF if you want any kind of depth and keep Bosh.

yah! 8th place, here we come...

MangoKidHoops · 07-03-2009, 02:21 PM

I think this signing was necessary. Marion hides a lot of our deficiencies. I'm not feelin Delfino as our starting 2-guard however. That's awful. Something has to give.

6th place at least

Calderon will be injury free, hopefully
Delfino is a bit better than AP
Marion for a full season
Bosh will play his @$$ off b/c its a contract year
some with Bargs and he's still improving

Derozan/Evans/Kleiza/possible backup PG/Rasho = better bench

What is this everything you speak of? Where else have you seen me stick my nose?

Better start digging

So, you're willing to go into a season hoping that Calderon is going to be injury free? And, upgrading AP to Delfino is like trading a mitsubishi lancer for a toyota corolla... it'll get you there, but with no balls
