I wonder
1. Why Raps made a qualifying offer to Pops Mensah-Bonsu. We're securing another big man in the rotation. We already traded Jason Kapono for Reggie Evans, we also have Bosh, Bargnani, O'Bryant, Hump. And the hole in the wings is growing bigger and bigger. We drafted DeRozan, but who else is gonna be there? Are we gonna teach Bargnani how to dribble? Or can we somehow trade O'Bryant and Hump for a SG/SF.
2. When O'Bryant is going to change his avatar. Man, Celtics don't love you anymore. Deal with it.
3. Why everybody is so concerned about Brandon Jennings trash-talking. NBA players get to earn millions when they are young and stupid, they trash-talk, they have huge egos... That's why we love them.
4. What could have happened if BC traded up in the draft to get Ricky 'Franchise' Rubio to play in Toronto.
Would his Mama become another Vince's Mama for us?
5. When Yao Ming is gonna catch a break. The big man suffered enough injuries for at least 3 players. He's broken his foot now, which can spell the end to his season, before it even started.
6. What's gonna happen to Charlie V. Something sad about the fact, that the Bucks wouldn't extend the qualifying offer to him. The biggest heart on the team, he tried to carry this bunch of losers on his back to get to the playoffs while Michael Redd ended his season; and he nearly made it. I'd say - Raps, go for him, but we cannot have a roster containing only big men [nearly].
7. Is the Thunder really going after Ben Gordon, and where the logic is in that plan. There's only one rock to play with and only certain amount of available shots.
8. Why on Earth Mehmet Okur wants to opt out of his contract in Utah. Is he scared of Mormons? Or is he another player that wants 10 mln? everybody seems to want to get 10 mln now.
9. How to survive the off-season. Plans include:
- reading all these books I gathered in last few months. The pile is at least NBA-player high.
- watching all the basketball movies ever made.
- finally unpack after the moving.

I must admit, I'm glad Pops is coming back. I feel like having too many big men can't be a bad problem for the allergic to rebounding Raptors to have. And how is Hump going to come back from his injury? I'm assuming there's some uncertainty there. Also, Hump to me seems like a guy who needs to be pushed, and there's nothing better than some healthy competition for minutes.
Bryant to me doesn't exist. Bosh and Bargs start (I am Captain Obvious) and whomever practices the hardest between Evans, Pops and Hump comes off the bench first.
Yeah, that should work out - to make them fight for the playing time. If O'Bryant could actually disappear - as far as I know, he doesn't even hand the Gatorade on the bench.
We still need a small forward (providing Matrix doesn't stay) + backup wing + backup point or combo guard (in case Roko didn't magically improve in the off-season). With unwillingness to go over the cap we cannot put all our eggs in one basket.
Why can't Roko be the backup? I know he wasn't that great, but neither was Jose his first season.
I guess Voskuhl isn't coming back. Sadness...
You're gonna miss Jake? I wonder who will get all his fouls now.
And I hope Roko could handle the backup role. His jumper stinks and he doesn't have a great court vision, but he showed good flashes of defense and taking the ball to the rim.
Re: Rubio. No comentario. Okay, just one...What a punk!
On a happier subject, what books did you get? My summer reading list includes a bunch of oldies I never read: Second Wind by Bill Russell, Outrageous by Charles Barkley, Shaq Attaq, Jordan Rules.
I have Jordan Rules, Personal Fouls, 2 Dennis Rodman's books, Sacred Hoops & Last Season by Phil Jackson, Can I keep my jersey, Hoopla - Inside the Toronto Raptors first season. But I found a huge used books store about 3km from my place and I'm gonna also hunt there.
And Rubio - no accountability for me until he actually turns blond!
