Yes, but seeing our interest somebody might put together a slightly better package. It makes me nervous until this is official
Um, not exactly his fault.

Got to be careful around here right now. By the time these new guys hit the floor, they might not even be the newest new guys anymore. They could be the old guard.

Ha. Too bad if the new guys have to sit this one out, Utah was a perfect team to feast on.

Rudy Gay could be the longest tenured King by Friday the way things are going.

Errr, so Vasquez isn't having the physical because he doesn't want to?
Definitely makes it sound like he's not in any hurry. Probably not in the mood to do the Kings any favors.

I don't think it would be common procedure for the raptors to waive the physical, that not make them look diligent/professional.
Shouldn't be bringing it up but grievous hasn't been the healthiest over the last year and I couldn't imagine this not going through and having to deal with those 4 scrubs again

He could just be pulling Bacon's legs. Mmmm, bacon legs.

No he is just trolling the fan, I'm sure he is not the happiest person with all the whirlwind that being traded brings, then having to deal with Visa issues on top of it. A message like that just dehumanizes these players, imagine if you had a job in Sacramento and were told overnight you were being transferred to Toronto. Obviously it comes with the job of being a pro basketball player, but fans also have to be respectful and considerate.

Maybe but... Try to get a physical or round up doctor to get any routine medical procedure done in Canada afterhours with its "universal health care." Not a political statement since I have Canadian friend who routinely waits many months to see doc.
The Raptors would of course have their own team physician that works outside of the auspices of Canada's health care system.

The tweet just as easily be sarcasm or "no no I want to" or "no no I wish." Blaming Vasquez seems misguided.
I also would think the Raptors have their own medical staff on hand to conduct the physical at any time.

I would move to Alaska if I was getting paid that much. **** Vasquez
I'm not blaming him, just posting the latest news. Honestly I think he's a great character guy but I'm sure rushing to get the physical so the new players can play for the Kings tonight is probably not his biggest concern right now.

I'm only blaming him as a joke 
It's whatever. Slightly annoying, thats all.

Good point. I wonder who is responsible for keeping these NBA players passports valid and in the case of GV making sure his Visa is current to enter Canada as Venezuela national. It would seem to me it should be his team which with a Kings game in Toronto next in March, that's where some "blame" should be directed. Maybe it's the agent who is responsible as well but ultimately the player needs to "fill out, sign, turn in the paperwork." Also, GV needs a work Visa for Canada since he will now be living there as opposed to temporary one.

It's hilarious if you guys think Vasquez is doing this to be petty.

maybe he is joking in a way stating he doesnt want to because he doesnt want to leave the kings. he was one of the few players who stated he wanted to be here and saw a future with the kings. it's not that often when someone is traded here and not only happy to come here but saw himself growing with the team. i just wish he didnt stink so bad on defense

Now Napear says it is confirmed GV getting physical tonight but no results until in the morning.
