"I'm excited about this team, but there AIN'T no way, AIN'T NO FUCKING WAY this is even close to a championship team. AIN'T NO WAY! I'm just saying... because there's a lot of people out there saying, if we get J. Jack, Rasho and Delfino back... all of a sudden, the Raps are title contenders. The Raptors still need to get a really good guard, unless DeRozan turns out to be a superstar which we're all hoping for in two-three years...
But right now, no way the Raps can win a title without having a superstar, other than Bosh... "superstar"... only team to win without superstars were the Pistons, but those guys are incredible together."

"if everyone is injury free, it's LA's to lose, then boston. I find it hard to believe that boston will be injury free though
Given that, I would have to say best case scenario is the finals which is about a one and two thousand chance so it would take a lot of luck, a great regular season, and ideal playoff matchups but you never know in the NBA. I mean if a team comes together at the right time, anything is possible.
I would say its more possible than roko being the next ginobili ;)
I think people, myself included are just really excited because of how rapid the turnaround is and also because behind boston, we're probably now one of the most injury proof teams in the NBA. This definitely sits well with the fan base considering how last years season was lost because of one injury.
Btw whats the thoughts on Otis Smith. I used to think he was a good GM but I'm getting the impression that the magic just have a great owner with an open cheque book. His moves involve drastically overpaying, taking on long contracts that other teams dont want etc. Seems he's just making the easy decisions and his owner is whipping out the cash. To me part of being a good GM is working with limited resources. He seems to have the dream GM job.
Rashard, Vince, Keeping Gortat is costing them an extra 10 million. 6 million for bass. thats a lot of overpaying for a system that turns all players into stand still 3 point shooters."

"I still think the Vince Carter move was a great one, but I agree... that price they pay for Bass and Gortat is more excessive than anything. But I mean, Vince is more explosive than Turk and now they can score from anywhere.
I'm curious to see how the Bulls do after losing Gordon. I mean, I loved the guy, but he just takes so many shats! I think the Bulls probably won't even make the playoffs this year because they seem to be a team that either makes a run for the playoffs and then just completely stinks the following season.
Man, I loved Charlie V. That trade for T.J. was horrible... I wished the Raps could've kept him."
