You can say the same for a lot of teams. That being said, this was in poor taste. Uncalled for.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

excatly, if the player was in control of his trade he chooses one of the big markets in the USA, definitely not Toronto. Sure, maybe he didnt like Toronto but its 100% right for a player trying to make money.

Dude is just salty cause he couldn't hit the side of a barn when he was here to the point where he was trying to ban statsheets in our locker room. I guess when you're a glorified chucker, you're not a fan of analytics.
Trading him was one of the best things to ever happen to this franchise.
In the intro presser with BC he said so now you want me. Or, you finally got me. As if to say yeah was you Brian Colangelo who took Bargs over ME! Colangelo needed to say nah I took Bargs over LeMarcus Aldridge. He also said Raps were so bad he naturally had to be alpha or number one option. The platter Masai got for him turned the franchise around. He was trash. Put another way he should have been so much better than he was. He was a role player from a horrible draft.

But you can't grill the guy for being honest. And many of y'all overrate this City. Especially for players from the US playing the bulk of the season in winter.
If I was born in the US I'd more then likely feel the exact same way.
Meh Rudy is from NY though. Anyhow his opinion, his choice. Meh
I’d be more upset if we actually liked him here. I wanted him at the draft at #1 but after his stint here, I realized that would have been a mistake

Re: Rudy Gay Trashes Toronto
I won't lie - I was excited when that trade happened. The Raptors weren't very good. I wasn't that familiar with Gay's game, but he had the reputation of being a good player, he was buddies with Lowry, and I knew of his "NO, NOT THIS GUY" moments.
Then I started to watch him play for us.
...aaaaaand the next time I was excited about Rudy Gay was when we traded his ass to Sacramento. The only positive impact that guy had on the Raptors was the assets that Masai converted him into.

It shows he’s still butt hurt about the whole thing which I’m kind of surprised about. We started winning as soon as he left.

No ESPN. Too many speeding tickets not knowing what km/h means.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Re: Rudy Gay Trashes Toronto
So many players have raved about it here so clearly he’s salty af that he rightfully got blamed for our lack of success and ever since he left he became nothing more than an inefficient role player.

One of our worst acquisitions along with Hedo talking ****. Perfect that Rudy and Melo are on a podcast together, so similar in approaches to the game.
Obviously he was not very good here and the team got better when they moved on. However, it's still a steal of a trade when you look back on it in hindsight.
31-yr old Calderon + Ed Davis for a 26-yr old athletic SF with a lot of potential in his prime? You make that bet 10/10 times.

Some of us felt the same way in reverse there Rudy.
I still have the text from a friend in Memphis the day of the trade... "hahah good luck!"
Dude crapped on Memphis after the trade.. kudos to the consistency.

Basketball related things aside he isn't terribly wrong. Yes he got payed boat loads of money but he didn't get any say. He got drafted to the honky capital of the US, and traded to a different country.

Memphis is blues, BBQ, basketball and a central city to the civil rights movement (The museum is remarkable). I think you're confusing it with the tacky city 5 hours down the interstate where you have to dodge sidewalk vomit on Broadway.
