Sure we got Kyle Lowry and that may prove to be a decent move. But still, a lot of us really wanted Steve Nash to come home, so we need to blame some people for this. So let's pass out the blame there is lots to go around.
#10- David Stern- If you had just let the Lakers have Chris Paul last year we would have got Nash this year. Not many people like him and he already gets blamed for lots of things already. You also never rigged the lottery for us to draft Anthony Davis.
#9- Leo Rautins- He could never get Steve Nash to play for Team Canada and maybe if we didn't have him as broadcaster Steve Nash would have come home. Everyone likes Jack Armstrong so it can't be his fault.
#8- Kobe Bryant- Wasn't 81 points against us enough? Now you have to force the Lakers to make a move so you can get your 6th ring? Even if you get it and get Nash his first you know you will never be better than Jordan right?
#7- ESPN- Why did we believe the same network that told us Lebron James and Chris Bosh would be Knicks? In fact Jalen Rose guaranteed they would be. ESPN never gets stuff right and had we not been so emotional and filled with National Pride we would have known that.
#6 TSN- Why? For not being more like ESPN and coming up with things to make us hopeful Steve Nash would come here. No you are more concerned with Rick Nash who is no where close to Steve Nash. Your parent company is a part owner of the team it wouldn't hurt to you know cover the biggest story for the Raptors in years a little more.
#5 Wayne Gretzky- Why would we ever trust a hockey player? One person on Twitter suggested Paulina Gretzky would have done a better job than you did. You weren't suppose to convince him to go to L.A like you did. You confused CP24 so much they reported Steve Nash signed with the L.A Kings.
#4 Bill Duffy (Steve Nash's Agent)- Why did you have to do such a good job? Like to get so much interest for 38 year old point guard? Who are you frigging Jerry Maguire? We showed the money what more were we suppose to do? By the way do you represent media people? I would love to get some more money so call me?
#3 Robert Sarver (Suns Owner)- You had no problem screwing over the Knicks so why not your Division Rival? Is it that Bryan Colangelo left and since than your team has kind of sucked and that is why Nash is leaving? How can that be our fault? Some Raptor fans would have gladly given you Bryan back for Steve.
#2 Bryan Colangelo- You made us believe you could do this. We should have known better. But still you made us believe you could do this. Sure you got Kyle Lowry and all but that isn't the same and we all know it. Good luck with your next contract you might need it.
#1 Steve Nash- What is the deal? I mean you picked your kids over your country? This whole I am nice guy thing is great and all. Still I am sure the Raptors would have sent the private plane to get the kids anytime you want them. MLSE could cut a check to their mom to make it so. You were suppose to bring balance to force and save the Jedi's. Oh wait that wasn't you. Anyway now we have to hold our noses and hope you get a ring with Kobe? NO THANKS THUNDER UP!!!
I feel better now that I have blamed some folks. But you know what the person I blame the most isn't on this list. It is myself for believing this could happen and was going to happen. So many of us thought this could really happen and sadly it didn't. Every time I look at Landry Fields I am going think of what might have been. Plan B could turn out very well and it still will not fill the empty hole in my heart that wanted to see Steve Nash come home and play in Canada for the only Canadian Team left in the NBA.

Great list, James!
ReplyDeleteThis is a case of emotion over reason. Like you, I am very disapointed that Steve Nash will not play for the Raptors, however, Kyle Lowry and Landry Fields should be good additions to the team. (Will the Raptors keep James Johnson?)
ReplyDeleteJames Johnson is obviously not the Raptors first choice to be starting SF when were all done here. If he can handle that and Raptors believe that he can their would be no logical reason to move him. Raptors also have Sonny Weems dangling out there. I personally would love to see Weems back but he too is not a starter at this point. Also don't think Weems ends up on Raptors roster at end of day and definitely not with Johnson as well.
ReplyDeleteJust need to point out an important fact that everybody seems to be missing - Steve Nash didn't pick the Lakers over the Raptors. He picked the Lakers over the Knicks. A few close to him have gone in interviews and said that at the end it was 50-50 lakers vs knicks, no mention of raptors whatsoever, until speaking to Kobe a couple times clinched the Lakers as his choice. Steve Nash was only coming to the Raptors if BOTH Lakers and knicks couldn't pull off the sign and trade to pay him more. And even then, we still never heard his thoughts on Dallas. I keep reading how he chose the Lakers over the Raptors, which isn't exactly the case... There's a lot of understanding that he wants to be in LA because it's close to his kids in phoenix. He's lucky it worked out that way, because i don't know how he'd be able to justify to people why he would choose the Knicks over Toronto. He was officially not coming to the Raptors even if Los Angeles didn't jump in. He would be a Knick right now.
