Toronto Raptors Association: To Canada and Beyond

Toronto Raptors 2012-13 Season

[BlackAndGoldVandal]

Last season, the Toronto Raptors went 22-43 in the lockout shortened season. This is unacceptable. They were 11th in the Eastern Conference and 4th in their division only ahead of the then New Jersey Nets. This season will only get tougher as the teams in the Atlantic Division are only getting better.

Here's the settings I'm using for my Association.

Season Length: 82 gamss (will play as much as possible)
Quarter Length: 10 minutes
Sim Quarter Length: 12 minutes
Sliders: My own realistic ones
Draft Classes: Realistic 2013 Draft Class
Playoff Series': 7 games
Will be asking for your guys' opinions on trades, FA signings, rotations, etc..

If I were you I would move Bargnani, My MyCareer player is one the raptors and I've played several games with him, and he's not that good. Plus, he has A BIG CONTRACT.

Linas Kleiza is a nice player off the bench, I've given it to him and he nails threes pretty well at least in MyCareer.

Rudy Gay is a beast, so is Kyle Lowry if you don't shoot with him to much.

Looking forward to this!

Thanks hopefully you enjoy! I just moved Bargs and I think you'll like the trade. I'll be posting it soon.

The Toronto Raptors had a pretty good offseason. They drafted Terrence Ross out of Washington with the eighth overall pick. They also drafted Quincy Acy out of Baylor.

Another huge move was aquiring Rudy Gay from the Grizzlies. (I know that this move took place during the season but I have updated rosters and don't want to deal with fixing it.)

Rudy will be Toronto's main scoring option. I am still open to option 2 and 3 though... ****What do you guys think?****

According to past experiences with my Raptors dynasties, you'll need to add a lot of size in the front court.

***MAJOR TRADE!!***

It has just been announced that the Toronto Raptors have sent Andrea Bargnani and a 2013 first round pick to Milwaukee. In exchange, the Bucks give up Monta Ellis, who told team that he would NOT resign after this season.

Toronto Raptors Persective
This is a great trade for the Raptors. They bring in another great player who can create his own shot. Expect Toronto to be top 10 in the league in scoring. The pick shouldn't be a huge deal as some are already calling this a fairly weak draft class.

Milwaukee Bucks Persective
This trade is good for the Bucks too. You might not think so, but I'm here to change your mind. Ellis reportedly told Milwaukee Management before the season that he doesn't want to play here and that he was not going to resign with the team. The Bucks bring in a better big man so they can move Ilysova to his primary postion as the 3. Bargs will stretch the floor so Sanders can do his thing inside. This shoild be a very good three point shooting team with Jennings, Ilysova, and Bargnani.

It has also been announced that the Raptors have waived Alan Anderson.
