I believe in the Jays.

Philly is still delusional on his value.

Philly is indeed, and could've probably got some high value from him a year ago. His playoff performance was abysmal and weather he actually has mental issues or he's trying to game them, is a legit question. In basketball over the years these headcases aren't dealt for good value ever, and with mediocre skill he's guaranteed to go for pennies on the dollar if he's dealt. Better players have gone for little when they made it hard on their existing teams (see: Kawhi, Harden). Part of the reason I surmise this has continued to be a must win for Philly in a trade is Daryl Morey probably feels he can't lose another "star" player for nothing 2 years in a row. Any team that pays any significant price to take him should have their GM fired immediately. The guy will continue to be a #3 player, paid like a #1, the ego of a #1, and a headcase to boot. Philly needs to save face and it's a bad place to be when the guy is worth dog####.

It's gonna be a sad day when he retires, arguably the most entertaining player in league history.

Achiuwa is incredibly frustrating to watch

Suddenly back to .500. Siakam's return did not seem to help the team at all...

Nice rally at the end with Trent and FVV hitting big shots to close it out, would have been a tough loss losing from eight up with four minutes left.

OG finished the game well. He made a couple nice dishes on those big shots at the end.

Yeah, I was impressed that on the second play, he recognized that Philly was hedging against the baseline pass, and made that pass before he got too deep.

Tough loss tonight, Raptors were in good position for most of it but all the misses at the free throw line hurt.
Good news, Siakam returning to form with 25/12/7. Banton continues to be fun to watch and it was good to see Dragic have a good game after warming the bench for almost three weeks.

Those missed free throws were killer. At some point we also need to find somebody that resembles a centre.

Caught some of the game tonight, and one thing jumped out. Portland used their bench quite a bit, and rewarded players with a hot hand. They had more jump, because they were more rested.
I actually like Toronto's bench, but Nurse doesn't have faith in them this year.

They have been hot garbage.
This is the issue with not having a true star on the team. The calls don't go your way.
The refs in Basketball are the most inept in any sport. It is really frustrating to watch.

Honestly I still hate that Durant went to Golden State.
Just hurt Curry’s legacy. Curry was good enough to get to back to back finals without KD and it robbed us of what should have been two more great finals with Lebron and Curry head to head. Instead of the cake walks they were.
I guess in the end it led to a Raptors Championship so can’t complain too much.

I think it still reflects more poorly on Durant than it does Curry. Is Curry supposed to say "No, please don't go get one of the very few players better than me"? Even at the time, while I hated it, you had to admire that the Warriors were so well run they even had a chance at getting Durant. I can get why people might ding Curry's legacy on that front, but the one thing about Steph versus Durant and LeBron is he is almost certainly going to the HOF having only played on one team, can't say the same for the other two ring chasers. I think if, for instance, he tried to force his way out of Golden State to say the Lakers or Nets then his legacy is destroyed. But unlike LeBron and Durant he is so universally loved that I don't see much damage to his legacy for 2016 Free Agency.

Maybe a tiny bit nicked, certainly not destroyed. Changing teams won't take away his accomplishments.

Yeah, hands down the best shooter ever. I don't think we'll ever see anyone as good as him shooting. Quite something for a relatively short guy. Relative being the key word.
