Nice. A great big, not so subtle 'fuck you' to james and all the other prima donnas out there that need perfect, tailor made teams.
Yeah, Toronto's team was mostly built around young homegrown guys, a couple of key veteran role players (Gasol & Ibaka), an aging all-star (Lowry), and 1 mercenary All-NBA caliber player (Kawhi). Definitely not a super team.To be fair to the Raptors, they weren't a super team either, but it wasn't a homegrown thing being as they rented Kawhi for a year.
Still, it was a legit non-super team championship, IMO.
That first GSW team was completely homegrown and deserves all the recognition.Yeah, Toronto's team was mostly built around young homegrown guys, a couple of key veteran role players (Gasol & Ibaka), an aging all-star (Lowry), and 1 mercenary All-NBA caliber player (Kawhi).

This guy is so Greek, I love it.
This was after game 5.
I don’t have any illusions that they are building towards a title contender like I had dreams of with Rose at one point… they lack that kind of carry the team player…. But this will certainly be a fun 4-5 seed type team that does something besides lose every damn night.Ball/Lavine/DeRozan/Williams/Vucevic could be pretty damn decent, plus Caruso/White off the bench.
Just need a physical big who can do the dirty work for about 15 minutes a night.
Yea basically, and the new regime is extremely aggressive so the hope is that you build a sustainable winning culture and then keep accelerating from there.I don’t have any illusions that they are building towards a title contender like I had dreams of with Rose at one point… they lack that kind of carry the team player….

I wonder if they keep Markkanen as a backup big or move him for role player depth?
Good for Rivers. A coach can't let these 'stars' do whatever the hell they please.
Ben Simmons is a little bitch.
