[Rose] Dennis Schröder mentioned his connection with Darko being a big factor in why he signed with Toronto but also because Toronto is “European-ish” and Darko is European. The Raptors might be more attractive to European players with Darko at the helm.

First Africa, now Europe.
Now we will have all the Canadian European and African stars.
Luka
SGA
Giannis
Embiid
Jokic
Starting lineup go crazy
Colangelo era is back
Im not trying to frame this in a good or bad way. But objectively, is DS our best ever free agent signing? Demarre Carroll got more money but was a bust and shipped out.
Not talking about re-signing the likes of Fred and Kyle. But attracting a new player. He has to be up there?
Bring back Bargnani
Jason Capono!
I’ll be ok with Siakam for Franz Wagner and some picks – make it happen Masai. Big German-speaking 3 of Poeltl-Wagner-Schroeder LFGehennnn
You hear that, Luka??
Giannis to Toronto 2.0 here we come!
Honestly, with how nuts US politics are, the rampant racism there (not that Canada doesn’t have racism), the gun violence, etc, I don’t understand why Europeans and other international players don’t seem to show any particular interest in Toronto.
Toronto has been labeled as the most multicultural city in the world with over half it’s population being born in other countries, and is also a more interesting city to live in for a young adult with lots of $$ than many of the US options.
I’m here for the Dennis Jak pick and roll and a loud “Jaaaaaa” at the end.
Until we see actual _notable_ FAs sign here, this is all hopes and dreams. Schroder is here because we are likely the only dummies to offer him 13mil/yr.
Luka, Dick, Barnes, Giannis, Jokic would be a great lineup, can’t wait
this idea have been bandied about since the Bryan Congelato days
Luka and Jokic come to T.O
Giannis + Luka to Toronto, confirmed.
Joker to Raps Confirmed
He came here because he got offered $26 mil and nobody else was offering that kind of money. Stop it
Bargnani legacy contract incoming?
Is there anywhere in Toronto Dennis could get some decent weiner schnitzel ?
Yeah this statement is just a PR spin. Think about it with your own jobs/careers, you aren’t going to come out publicly and say only one team/company offered this much. You are going to pretend you had several suitors potentially for even more money but chose Toronto for nonmoney reasons as you never want to lower your own market value.
He’s gon love montreal 🤙🏽
I mean, Toronto has ALWAYS been more attractive to European born players. This isn’t something new. Granted, with Darko as head coach there may be more emphasis that way.
The raptors will never be an attractive destination
Is this the second comming of Bargani?
Toronto is Europeanish? LMAO
Anyone else hate that Euro slant people give us? Maybe I’m a relic from Colangelo’s time but every overhyped European prospect was linked to us and I hated it
