Yes, but so far I have rad articles that said Gerald Green was thrilled the Raps didn't draft him, Channing Frye the same, etc.
Even in the Vince glory days, with the east semis - still no marquee FAs ever thought about coming.
AD wanted out - because of the metric system.
In the Vince glory days, we had (or thought we had) a good nucleas. In the summer of 01 we wasted all our cap on AD, JYD and Alvin. We also pryed away Hakeem from Houston and New York. Even though Hakeen was FAR past his prime, I think that's saying alot. Toronto's never really been in the ideal cap situation anyways
As for Green? What ever, he's a high school kid with the IQ of a rock. Honestly, if you heard him talk in an interview you would know what I'm talking about. Again, I also think its because we are a losing team without a clear direction. LA is one of the biggest markets in the NBA, and no one wanted to play for the Clippers in the 90's.
As for Frye? Please, I dont want another Loren Woods, imo he was the worst pick in the draft.
