It’s glad to see that more and more players don’t want to leave Toronto. Our team culture is one of the best in the NBA. Unfortunately for Norm, the team was headed in a direction that didn’t involve him.
Stormin Norman was one of my favourite players, but it was a right decision to move on.
It was honestly better for his career too. We aren’t really competing anytime soon.
Raptors had other plans… Scottie Barnes
imagine if Siakam didn’t forget how to play ball during the covid lockdown
Respectfully, that core is maybe a 2 round ceiling every year. The Celtics have a legit superstar, we dont
with all love, that core doesn’t seem like the Boston Celtics. We have nobody that’s our Jason Tatum. But Fred/OG/Norm was a get set of starters with some having elite skill sets (OG defensively, Fred shot creation etc).
Norm, you’re awesome man, but that’s kinda a delusional thought.
I think Masai was worried he would leave for nothing in free agency.
Norm is better than Gary Trent. Lets be honest.
As soon as Fred started playing for his next contract – that core was done.
