Raptors 2012 off-season:
- Rudy Fernandez tests free agency
What a pussy.
- Salim and Simmons re-signed to minimum deals
David Kahn: "Nooooooooooo!"
- Craptors have no draft picks, watch at home as SG/SF Michael Gilchrist (Kentucky) goes #1
To the Suns, who followed up their championship year with one so bad that they got the first pick.
- Traded Alabi + Simmons to the Miami Cheat for Joel Anthony and #29 pick (Malcolm Lee)
That's right, we now have the greatness that is Joel Anthony.![]()
- Shore up roster in free agency with veterans Antawn Jamison (1 year, $2M, MLE), DJ Mbenga, Eddie House
It was either them or Wince Carter...
- Will Sit -> Basketball 101
Much needed.
- Andrea Bargnani -> Athleticism
2013 dunk contest winner???
- Ray Lliach -> Athleticism
He'll need it, if he wants to beat out Joel Anthony for minutes!
- Jamison + House to Nuggets for O'Greene, Jason Smith
Christmas is stolen.

2012-13 Season In Review:
- Went 13-5 in Oct./Nov.
Including a six game winning streak where leading scorer Will Sit would not stand for losses.
- Went 10-4 in December (23-9)
RealGM is thrilled
- Went 9-7 in January (32-16)
Many, many broken clipboards.
- Sit, the only NLSC'er in rookie challenge, wins MVP with 21 points and 8 assists in 118-83 drubbing
All the other NLSC'ers were busy averaging under 10 PPG.
- West beats East 113-105; First time all-star Aaron Brooks wins MVP with 25 points and 7 assists. No Craptors or NLSC'ers make it
Bargs, despite being the clear #2 Center in the East, averaging 23 and 8 boards on a contender, did not make it...
- Went 6-5 in February (38-22)
Shannon Brown breaks foot, out for season - Sit moved to SG, Calderon to start at PG. Fuuuuuuck
- Went 8-6 in March (46-28)
Playoffs are clinched
- Went 5-3 in April (51-31), win division and make playoffs as #3 seed
Jose Calderon hit a buzzer as time expired to defeat the Pistons 96-94 in the season finale, setting the Raptors' franchise record for season wins with 51. Hopefully, he can help them set the franchise record for playoff wins, with 16...
- Will Sit wins MIP!!! (20.5 PPG, 5.4 APG)
Foxtel opts to cover every Raptors game from now on.
- #3 Raptors (51-31) Vs. #6 Pacers (44-38)
Frightening.
NLSC'er Player Rankings: Year 2
1. William Sit: 20.5 PPG, 5.4 APG, 2.2 RPG - Most Improved Player; Plays for TOR (51-31)
Will Sit had a breakout sophomore season. The Aussie nearly quadrupled his scoring, and has developed into both a borderline all-star and the Raptors' leading scorer. By far the best NLSC'er so far.
2. Leo Lai: 9.7 PPG, 1.7 RPG
Lai regressed a bit in his sophomore season, losing his starting spot along the way.
3. Andrew Watson: 5.4 PPG, 4.0 APG, 3.1 RPG
The signing of Sonny Weems was very bad for The X's career.
4. Chris Hov: 5.2 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 2.5 APG - Plays for ATL
The rise of Jeff Teague has postponed Hov's takeover of the league. Pretty frustrating for the man comnpared to Kidd.
5. Kenny Young: 5.3 PPG, 2.2 APG, 1.5 RPG - Plays for POR
Young has been a very solid role player for the Blazers, and has had a solid career despite being projected as the worst NLSC'er.
6. Justine Crewhead: 4.1 PPG, 1.9 APG, 1.3 RPG - Plays for MIL
Crewhead continues to be buried on the Bucks' bench. His efficiency has improved, however.
7. Axel Gomez: 3.8 PPG, 2.3 APG, 0.9 RPG - Plays for DET
Axel continues to warm the Pistons' bench, competing with Will Bynum for backup minutes.
8. Martti Must: 3.0 PPG, 2.7 RPG; Plays for MIN
Only played 8.2 MPG. Must has been underutilized and reportedly wants out. New nickname: Martti Must? Time will tell.
9. Thierry Tirieux: 3.7 PPG, 1.6 APG - Plays for LAC
Argentina's Tirieux continues to warm the team's bench as a fourth string PG. Quite a shame for Tirieux that the Austin Rivers fell to the Clips.
10. Julian Martin: 2.6 PPG, 1.8 APG, 1.4 RPG - Plays for LAL
When Martin was drafted by the Lakers, he knew that he may have to wait for some serious minutes. However, I reckon he also expected to win.
11. Ray Lliach: 1.2 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 2.0 RPG - Plays for TOR (51-31)
Lliach continues to be a very proficient rebounding and passing big man. However, he has the offensive skills of an 8 years old.
12. Shad O'Greene: 1.1 PPG, 1.9 RPG, 2.2 APG - Plays for TOR (51-31)
Speaking of the offensive skills of a 12 year old... O'Greene is kept content by the Raptors assuring him that his 11 MPG makes him a rotation player.
