What was the alternative?
Blow it up - Raptors 2018 OFFSEASON THREAD
- Thread starter Apex
- Start date
They dont want to see the Raps successful and on top,the disloyal thing is stupid....How was this organization NOT loyal to him ?
They allowed him to groom his game and build himself into an all NBA player,allowed him to be the center piece of this team...even when his game was detrimental to team basketball,they allowed him to coast on D allowed him to take any shot he wanted....thats a shyt talking point being used by people that just hate the Raptors cuz theyre not in America....Many of the things DeRozan got to do he wouldnt have been allowed to do on alot of of other teams....
The same pundits who after being swept eer elike fire the coach blow up the roster
Coach gets fired and raptors are stupid
They blow it up and oh no
nikkas are stupid and disingenuous is all.
No need to listen to the talking heads and beat writers, most of em don’t even watch the nba like that
Lowry/Ibaka are way more expendable. Could have kept DeRozan and stayed competitive.Were we in limbo after DeRozan.Lowry/Ibaka all expired together ???? But we now are because of this trade ?
Right now we basically traded DeRozan and Poeltl for Green. Too many question marks around Leonard. If Kawhi walks, we lost big time. If he stays then ok no prob. but right now it looks like a no.
We'll be too good to tank, but will have no stars to propel you past 6th.
Competitive basketball is done here.
its the same NBA analysts that discredit anything the Raptors do...Chris Broussard,Chris Mannix,SAS,Skip all these trash ass fakkits were saying we need to blow it up 2 months ago now saying were disloyal and going into irrelevancy for the next 50 years....The same fukks calling DeRozan and Lowry soft and not good enough are saying they deserve better..its just laughable...
Anyway...
We are going to be potentially LETHAL offensively next year with all the shooting and athleticism we will be able to put on the court at the same time. Siakim was hitting the corner three to finish the year, OG was becoming more consistent, Miles and Green are hot when they’re on, Kawhi is very consistent and Lowry is typically lights out. Not to mention Fred and an improving Delon. And most of those guys can finish off the rim and slash as well. Given what Nurse wants to implement I see toronto being a top 5 offence.
This doesn’t even address the problem we will give other teams with our length and athleticism. Kawhi, OG and Siakim are all very good defenders and Lowry is pesky. Oh and Fred is a top team defender in the league. It’s gonna be good brehs.

On one of those Fox shows they were actually saying Demar is Pops kind of player and that hes gonna improve..They were saying hes just a small notch below Kawhi...i was literally
the entire segment...Its like theyve never seen him play before.
