[QUOTE]demarrecarroll1#WeTheNorth I will be playing for Toronto Raptors next year!!!! I'm Blessed for this Opportunity! #WeTheNorth[/QUOTE]
Thoughts ?
Was on my radar high even with guys like Middleton and Harris available.
Re: Raptors sign DeMarre Carroll; 4 years, 60 million
I'm a fan of his game,
The hit is too high, but I guess that's why he signed here.
Re: Raptors sign DeMarre Carroll; 4 years, 60 million
15mil a year bit much, but he's exactly type of player we needed. Btw Amir Johnson signed with Boston 2year 24mil
Re: Raptors sign DeMarre Carroll; 4 years, 60 million
Cap hit isn't too high considering the massive bump in cap space during the next two years.
Re: Raptors sign DeMarre Carroll; 4 years, 60 million
good fit. Carroll played terrific D last year.

Marc J. Spears: One NBA exec on DeMarre Carroll’s four-year, $60M deal from Toronto: “They got to overpay. It’s not a desirable market and then the taxes.”
Ass:cheers: le
This type of comment is either [B]Marc Spears being an idiot [/B]or some NBA exec should truly get slapped.
This road has been "done" over the years. Taxes net net with Non Resident withholding and games - home verses the road - are basically the exact same as New York State and Michigan. No ~ not as low as Texas of Florida but then neither is the aforementioned New York Knicks.. [I]many states other than Texas have implemented Jock taxes that make Canada's regime look pretty good.[/I]
Desirable destination.
I'll ignore the ascetics of Toronto vs Cleveland, Milwaukee, Detroit, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Charlotte, Salt Lake City, Oakland, and just shrug. I wont dignify with a comment about "physical / social / cultural beauty" given any 3 of the above cities are in bankruptcy or imminent bankruptcy.
Ok fair enough in the sense the franchise doesnt have a winning tradition and there has been Management / Coaching shake downs over the last 10 years. Having said that the franchise with the turn out for playoffs, #wethenorth, the whole Josh Donaldson email All Star campaign for an American born baseball player...
Well again that is another "bull:no: it" comment.
Re: Raptors sign DeMarre Carroll; 4 years, 60 million
I guess with the new TV cap, 15M is the new 10M...which still would've been to high for a 3 and D guy tho. Otherwise I love his game, he's got what we had hoped to get from TRoss.

Good player. To bad Casey is still coach.
