What's really funny: count the number of Raptors jerseys you can find in that 2.5 minute clip. [Go ahead, I'll wait.]

And it was an event for Raps season-ticket holders!

O, Canada, indeed.

People in Canada now don't care about the Raptors.

Every good player the Raptors have ever had bailed on that franchise as fast as possible.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

I'd love a free Vince Carter jersey.

The Raptors were undefeated at last years pre-season.
Look where that got them.

LOL

Can I please not hear the word "Wiggins" again for at least another full season?

Seriously sick to death of peole throwing the name around like it's a free dinner coupon.  Firstly the name itself sounds so rediculous that it's impossible to take seriously.  Secondly there is absolutely no evidence to show this guy is going to be anywhere near as good as everybody is insisting once he actually gets to the big leagues. 

If we do draft him, and he does play like a superstar - then go ahead.  Until then please stop talking about this guy like he is the bringer of world peace.

Agree about not mentioning Wiggins.....sort of like Duncan in'97 and Oden in '07

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
No big deal. He's being funny because we are doing it tough- if you cant handle a bit of ribbing when your team stinks then you're looking at it the wrong way
Teams like us, the Lakers and even tye Knicks always get tortured by opposing fanbases because we are used to being successful in sports.
in the Celtics and Lakers case...we are the best franchise ever and human beings have a knack for kicking other humans while they're down.
It's a good motivator for us when the ceo of a chump squad like that is putting us out to dry.
Imagine what those poor Raptors fans have had to deal with wince McGrady and Vince left. Just painful.

I wonder if the Raptors CEO would take a wager on which franchise will win a championship first from this season onward?

Hey Raptors. ..how's that franchise going for you?
In all seriousness I dont think he's being cruel he's just taking a cheeky dig infront of his fanbase.
No harm caused in my book.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Hahahah and some people say he's the next LeBron and all that nonsense stuff. I got really tired of hearing that name during the offseason, quite honestly.

I'm more interested on someone that will be called as "the Next Larry Bird"  ;)

We should just talk about Dante Exum instead  ;D

On another completely unrelated note:
If only Kyrie played ball for Australia, with Exum and Bogut that could win the silver medal.
