So how is Drake going to get those dudes on the Raptors? Canadians don't have to go through the draft process?

Kids are bandwagoners, that like winners, just because someone likes Drake's music is not going to make them a fan of a shitty Raptors team

>it's not a far fetched notion to have drake involved with your

Because Cal is recruiting actual teenagers. NBA free-agents are not teenagers.

Celebrities are bandwagoners too, they like WINNERS, they're not flocking to see a shitty Raptors team just because Drake asks them too, lol
