Toronto Raptors (2019 NBA Champions)

Brandon

Racist Piece of Shit
The Purple Era is finally over. The Raptors now have a new logo, and a third jersey. Here are some of the pictures.

LOL, the Barney design? Apparently the Raptors are working on bringing the white one back for a "retro" night.

After watching the Cavs crush the Raptors last night I wonder if they will get to the point where they trade Bosh at the deadline next year? They have tried to build a winner around him, but it just doesn't seem to have worked. Unless they have a dramatic turnaround between now and next season I think there is 0 chance that Bosh comes back.
For all the talk about Lebron leaving at least the Cavs have built a really good team around him.

Maybe if the Raptors are ready to give up on O'Neal and send him to Miami they should realize that they won't be able to resign Bosh and move him as well. I'd hate to do it, but if I were the Cavs I'd trade Andy and JJ for Bosh.

NBA Playoffs 2019: Masai Ujiri's bold moves, starting with the Kawhi Leonard gamble, forever changed Raptors history

Toronto's president took a risk by going all-in on this season, and it's set up the Raptors for the ultimate reward


On July 18, 2018, Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri shocked the NBA when he pulled the trigger on one of the gutsiest trades in recent memory.

Ujiri took franchise cornerstone DeMar DeRozan -- a four-time All-Star who pledged his loyalty to the NBA's only Canadian franchise, famously saying, "I am Toronto" -- and sent him to San Antonio for the disgruntled and injured Spurs star Kawhi Leonard.

Specifically, the player Ujiri was getting was a former Finals MVP coming off a bizarre breakup with one of the NBA's best-run franchises after a season of miscommunication and mystery surrounding his injured quad. Ujiri did not know which Kawhi Leonard he was getting: Was he getting the Kawhi Leonard many thought to be an MVP candidate before his injury? Or was he getting a drastically reduced Kawhi? The one guarantee he did have was that whatever player he was getting, he would get him for one year and then all bets were off, because Kawhi is due to be an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2019 and it had been reported again and again that he wanted to return to his childhood home in Southern California.

This was the definition of an NBA executive going for it. Remember the Tribe Called Quest song, "Midnight," which features the lyric, "Scared money don't make none?" Oklahoma City Thunder executive vice president Sam Presti quoted that line when he spoke about the risk the Thunder took in trading for one season of Paul George. That was the model that Ujiri hoped to emulate: Trade for one year of a superstar, treat him like royalty, win at a high level, and convince him to stay.

Ten months after Ujiri pushed all his chips to the center of the table, Saturday night was turning into a Sunday morning in Toronto, and the streets of the city were going wild. The Raptors had just dispatched the team with the likely MVP and the league's best regular season record, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, in six games of the Eastern Conference finals to take the franchise to its first NBA Finals appearance in a quarter-century of existence. Cars honked their horns. Fans screamed; two of them stood out of a sunroof of a car that was doing donuts on Bay Street right beside Scotiabank Arena. Fred VanVleet could hardly drive his car through a throng of Raptors diehards who were shouting their postgame appreciation.

Ujiri wasn't operating with scared money when he made the Kawhi trade 10 months ago. It took the biggest of gambles by Ujiri, plus several other bold and risky moves, to flip the script on a long-suffering franchise whose history is filled with almost-theres and not-quites.

Serge Ibaka cooked ‘Penis Pizza’ for Kawhi Leonard. Oh nah.

In the latest episode of his YouTube series “How Hungry Are You?,” Toronto Raptors forward Serge Ibaka brought All-NBA teammate Kawhi Leonard onto the show. On a previous episode, he made the Raptors’ bench mob eat lamb brain.

But an All-NBA player has and All-NBA appetite, so Ibaka pulled out something magical. He served his teammate penis pizza. Leonard’s response was the same thing you or I would say.

“Oh nah,” he says. “That’s out. That’s out for me, bro.”

The only thing both Leonard and Ibaka know is that neither of them will be eating beef penis pizza ever again.

Oh nah. That’s out, bro.
