    Summer of 2021 is all about former Rockets. Has Chandler Parsons run out of money yet?

    This is going to help them get to 30 wins this season.

    I thought it was gonna be with Toronto FC as backup to the third string goal keeper. You can paint me as surprised.

    I thought Dekker quit basketball for Volleyball. Actually looking forward to what he brings to Toronto.

    You are thinking of Chase Budinger. I don't understand why both of those guys were always confused. One was really good at shooting, the other one really sucked at it. I guess they are both white and are high leapers lol. Hopefully Sam got his shooting woes together.

    I believe it was Chase Budinger.

    With this news, I'm fully expecting D-Mo sign with the Kings.

    I stand corrected. Thanks @omgTHEpotential and @ElPigto. I should have known that. Budinger, Parsons and Dekker. All 3 guys had that explosiveness and brought some excitement and fizzled fast. Now it's Sengun's turn. I hope he's not a disappointment.

    he’s not skilled, but he does have some athleticism and size…he’d be able to stick in this league as a bench player if he could shoot

    Toronto has a very good front office and coaching staff. I trust them, if they brought Sam back, then he likely has really improved.... especially with the possible slack the Raptors will get with some of the comments Sam has made in the past that teammates were not happy about. Physically Sam has the skills to be a good NBA player.

    Dekkers wife is Olivia Harlan. Safe to say that he’s winning no matter what. Now he’ll get to be closer to her.

    His best game was a "diss" against the Rockets. He scored over 30 and the Rockets won but M.Gasol "Bill Lambiers" him repeatedly in the forehead with no call despite swelling up and bleeding. Something there for Harden to throw a lob to off the weak side in a fast break or half court set. But ant- Rockets politics would not let Dekker get to the line as a member of the Rockets in the post season. Maybe ruined his NBA career?

    Don't you dare put that Juju on Sengun bro. Even before coming into the NBA he's already more accomplished than those 3 combined. If anything, the undrafted rookie Hurt is their successor.
