Looks like AP won't be back. Oh well.

Especially if we can get Belinelli somehow?

please not to the celtics

so it's either money or a possible ring at this point for AP. i hope he takes the money from europe and go! dont make us suffer when celts come in town.

Why not? On that team he'd be lucky to get 20MPG. I have a feeling AP would struggle coming off the bench, not getting constant burn and being able to get into a flow early.

you're making it sound like he has the ability to go off for 30 points on any given night.

I know, he averaged 10PPG in 30-35 minutes here. What's he gonna get if his minutes drop to 20MPG?

well clearly he can improve that team's depth. i just dont want to see AP in the hands of our divisional rival. im embarrassed to watch every time we face the C's anyways. Bosh always goes into house-building mode, brick after brick against KG.

AP would be a fantastic fit on the Celtics and will make Raptors fans shake their heads at how good he will look on defence. Yes, he is an average to above average defender. He just looked awful here because we have no help D. And anything for BOS is a big plus over Marbury and Tony Allen who gave them nothing all year. Getting a near 10ppg guy off the bench who knows how to play and will already make their bench 10x stronger? Thats a steal.

an ugly missed faded away on one foot jump shot.

Well I, for one, really hope we keep Anthony Parker. Despite all of the criticisms, he's a good player and a great team leader. I will miss him wherever he goes if he leaves, and everyone will miss him if he lands with Boston. That would be a nightmare.
