Whatever he wants- I hope that is what happens.
That's the thing, though, just how much will he get to play next year. Look at these play-offs. Rasho is playing well- especially doing the main thing people have said he is weak at- rebounding. He is averaging only 19.7 MPG on a team desperate for some veteran presence, defense, and playoff experience. He is grabbing 7.3 RPG in those limited minutes. The Spurs would have salivated to have Rasho rebound like that and yet he still sits on the bench after the mid-third quarter of the 2 losses. The team looks more interested in the future and that is Bosh and Bargnani. As much as Rasho loves the city of Toronto, I don't know if he will be ready at the age of 31 to sit there and not play, except when Shaq and Curry come to town.

Well, it will be interesting to see. Priorities change and moving alot gets tiring, so if you are happy with your teammates and the organization... Players played for the Spurs later in their careers even though they played little because they were happy with the team- and wanted to be on a good team. And that is a huge selling point for Toronto now. Their future looks really bright, and Rasho helped contribute to that, and maybe he wants to stay around to be a part of its fruition. But it's a business, as we always hear, and if trading Rasho brings someone into Toronto that they need more, it will happen regardless.Whatever he wants- I hope that is what happens.
Yes.
I just need to know where he'll be so I know which team I am rooting for.
Again, hope it is the Raps. I like this them. They're my adopted team- great guys all.
Mitc calls for some Mago
I like this move- partially because Andrea has played some of his best ball this season alongside Rasho, and partially because it has been surprisingly effective when tried out during the season.
Also of note- TJ is the third player to get sick recently- both Andrea and Graham have been sick and Joey even lost close to 10 pounds in the past 2 weeks or so.
il MagoAndrea Bargnani, still not fully healthy after an operation and an illness, is expected to start tonight when the Raptors face the New Jersey Nets in the pivotal fourth game of their NBA playoff series.
Bargnani, who missed 15 of the last 16 games of the regular season after having an emergency appendectomy and a sinus infection, will replace the ineffective Joey Graham in the starting lineup.
Raptor coach Sam Mitc wouldn’t confirm the move at this morning’s shootaround but Bargnani told reporters he will start.
Who starts along with him is still up in the air.
Point guard T.J. Ford, Toronto’s leading scorer in the first three games of the series, left shootaround early with an undisclosed illness. Mitc said Ford would play unless his conditioned worsened over the afternoon.
The change to Bargnani is a bold one for Mitc , whose team has had difficulty scoring against the Nets in dropping two of the first three games of the best-of-seven series.
The 7-foot rookie will not only have to provide some offence despite shooting just 5-for-18 from the field over the first three games but he’s likely going to have to guard either Richard Jefferson or Vince Carter at times.
With him, the 6-foot-10 Chris Bosh and 7-foot Rasho Nesterovic in the lineup, the Raptors may decide to play some zone defence to limit their liabilities against the quicker Nets and to clog up the lane and dissuade Carter from attacking the basket as he did so well in Friday’s Game 3 New Jersey win.
All right A.B.
The winning begins in a few hours. Nets are going down and out!
I will be back after my pre game nap.
The Raps are a joke.
The first quarter did not look good for the Raptors...
NJ 32 Raps 15
End of the 1st half
NJ 56
Raps 37
I hope the Raps find their rhythm and come back to win this game.
Ouch. Raps are getting annihilated right now.
Kidd and Carter are on pace for triple doubles.
Raps shooting 34%.
Their first trip to the playoffs. Raps were a weak 17-24 on the road while being tied with Cavs for best EC home record. Sorta like the Warriors, very strong at home, very weak on the road. Raps still have HCA. Nets, the same also 17-24 on the road.
Nesterovic clocking in witha STUDLY 2 points 1 rebound.
Wheres ploto at?
Can't watch this is ugly. I feel bad for Bosh too bad Detroit didn't draft him.
Gosh the Raps are getting their stomped
I love Manu but I hate Time Warner.
My internet has been down the entire game.
Why in the world is Sho not in?
And, why why did I pick the play offs to decide to quit saying all three swear words I know.]
My tongue is bleeding I have bitten it so much!
Stop talking while I still like you Steve Kerr.
Ugh!
My internet has been down the entire game.
Thank you Piston.
Why is Sho not in! Coach Mitc !
I stopped watching this game 6 minutes into the 1st quarter
The Raptors are just about out of the playoffs, but this has been a very solid year for them. Hopefully they've learned some lessons, and gained a little experience from this postseason, get healthy, and return next year bigger and better.
And we may actually get to see some Nationaly televised games from them next year!

How can you not watch?
I am watching this game in support of Sho- he shouldn't have to sit there and suffer alone.
That made me feel better- thank you!The Raptors are just about out of the playoffs, but this has been a very solid year for them. Hopefully they've learned some lessons, and gained a little experience from this postseason, get healthy, and return next year bigger and better.
