Robert Traylor scores 30 and pulls down 11

That same sloth was a star at Michigan and was supposed to put up numbers similar to that in the NBA.

 

Nowitzki for Traylor was one of the most lopsided trades ever.

 

Has he lost weight or is he still over 400lbs? I saw it too on the ESPN sports ticker and I hard to wipe my eyes. Maybe he is a late bloomer afterall. Maybe the Dirk-Traylor trade will not have be in the most lobsided trade of all time category afterall.

Developing....

 

It was very lopsided..who does Traylor play for now anyways? Bucks, I believe, got screwed

 

lets trade for him.

traylor, and a 1st rnd pick, for mo tay.


salary match blah blah blaj and according to blah blah blah
it works.


TRADE ACCEPTED.

 

JUST PRESEASON!?!? Don't you know how important preseason is to some people on this board??! It's obvious traylor is going to be an MVP this season.

 

LOL! Brilliant!

 

A lot of being successful in anything is motivation, a lot of the players once they get that contract lose motivation, while the greats are motivated by competition.

Maybe Traylor has become motivated....maybe it was luck.

It will be interesting to see though.

A lot of NBA players could be great, if they wanted to.....Robert Horry comes to mind....he just settled for being an ok player.

DD

 

Traylor plays for Cleveland. It he gets fit he can be a very good rebounder and useful scorer for them.

 

Yeah same type as Oliver Miller. That guy had good skills with a good touch on his shot but never could keep his weight in check. The guy was a monster in college but never could keep himself in shape enough to have an effect in the long term in the NBA

 

Toronto 100, Cleveland 92

Carter Returns in Raptors Win


TORONTO, Oct. 29 (Ticker) -- Vince Carter does his best work on the basketball court.
Carter scored 20 points to lead six players in double figures as the Toronto Raptors posted a 100-92 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the preseason finale for both teams.

Carter missed two games earlier this week to defend himself in a $14 million lawsuit filed by a former agent in Columbia, South Carolina. He is due back in court Monday.

Cleveland fell behind by 10 points in the first quarter and trailed the rest of the way. The Cavaliers got within 81-80 with 9:19 left following a 3-pointer by Aleksandar Pavlovic. But Toronto responded with a 12-5 run, highlighted by 3-pointers by Carter and Donyell Marshall, who came off the bench to score 16 points and pull down 10 rebounds.

Rafer Alston, Jalen Rose and Chris Bosh each added 13 points for Toronto, which ended the preseason with a 3-5 mark. One of the victories was against Benetton Treviso of Italy.

Robert Traylor came of the bench to score 30 points on 13-of-18 shooting and grab 11 rebounds for Cleveland (6-2), which had a six-game winning streak stopped.

The Cavaliers host Indiana in their regular-season opener on Wednesday. Toronto hosts Houston on the same night.

You know what folks, despite his strong showing in this Toronto game, Robert is only averaging 7.4 points and 4.00 Rebounds per game this preseason. Not in anyway eye poping. But he is averaging a healthy 1.38 blocks per game and 17.3 minutes per game.
