I'm not saying that I'm doubting that we won the deal. I'm saying I want OKC to be in the least desirable position, and if TOR is right on the outside of the playoffs that will be perfect.

I swear I remember Teyshaun & the Pistons going public saying they werent going to trade him...just a week or so ago on the 4 letter...thats always a sure sign a player is gone.
Say what you want about Toronto... They are OFFICIALLY my team in 2k13! Lowry, Gay, Ross, Derozan, Valenciunas?!? SICK
He will now that he's on a good team again. He's probably a better fit since he's a jack of all trades player who can actually defend and play off the ball.
Canada is about to show that it's on America's level. Gay and Lowry are buds I believe. There could be some chemistry there.
This is also exactly the type of trade that will separate knowledgeable fans and journalists from the ones who just watch the highlights.
