    If there is ANY way in hell Morey can facilitate a trade where Durant ends up in Toronto... God, please let this happen.

    LOL I thought Durant likes the Raptors because he was such a big fan of Chris Bosh...

    The Zan Tabak championship influence, how could you NOT be drawn in?

    Remember when Chauncey Billups and Marcus Camby were BOTH on the Raptors early in their careers? Seems a LOOOONG time ago

    (Though I did like the Raptors back then, too. It was Vancouver that was the pits, hence why Steve Francis wanted no part of them)

    Especially in the playoffs when him and AI faced off when he was the Sixers' franchise player.

    Those were some special times for those 2 teams. Good matchups to watch too.

    If the Raptors board is anything like ours they're probably creaming their pants right about now.

    And then they realized he was 6 years old when he said this, and he wants nothing to do with them now.

    So Durant wanted to be like Vince Carter? No wonder he never won a ring. :grin:

    i guess thank heavens for unanswered prayers.
    I know Durant is great, but poor management might have led his career down the same part as Carter cos Carter in his prime could shoot the lights out, dunk on anybody, had mad hops to grab rebound- just a badass bully, but look what happened

    See, I like this aspect of Durant.

    He would rather go to a situation where he can change the course of a franchise
    and carry them rather join up with a super-friend for an already established franchise.

    OKC is super-lucky to have him.

    Steve Nash.. and soon Andrew Wiggins. I'd say talent has come out of the country. They just don't have the total population to have the talent pool of the united states.
