Blow it up - Raptors 2018 OFFSEASON THREAD

[CantStop]

Ibaka is fukking trash, he’s a sunk cost.

Lowry
Green
Kawhi
OG
Siakam

Should be the closing lineup. You got defense and 3s. You got a closer in kawhi and they were experimenting OG at 4 in summer league.

This gonna be the first year since before we realized that defraud was woat in the playoffs that I actually look forward to the playoffs.

I cant even read the garbage from these nba writers anymore

now there like raptors will trade kawhi at the trade deadline, are they really that dumb to think like a raptors team first or second in the east clicking is going to trade kawhi ?

I agree with Ibaka, I don't know why ppl think he's an effective 5 in small ball...he has to be one of the WORST rebounding bigs I've ever seen.

You can't rely on Ibaka to get you a rebound in the clutch, might as well have Bargnani out there. Ibaka at the 5 is not going to win games in the playoffs.

He is a 20-25 minute PF at this stage of his career. He can still give you the clutch block and some baskets.

He’s a “floor spacer” lmao. Dude stays bricking when it matters. I lost respect for him when bron was spinning the ball in his grill and his bytch ass didn’t do anything. They should just stretch him, kawhi already played with trash ass Pau, Ibaka is just current version Pau without the play making and inside game.

id actually try and move jonas now as well, raps are athletic and fast do we need this slumbering tool?

 

[MikelArteta]

low key bismack biyombo would be the perfect center for this lineup

jonas lumbring off the floor and little bunny layups gonna slow down the offense

JV is playing in the wrong era, he added the 3 to his game so credit to him but he’ll never be a Kevin love as a shooter. He needs to go but no one checking for a 2006 type center in 2018.

I'd hold onto JV for 1 more year just incase, 4 reasons.

1) He will get more touches with Nurse, DC really messed up his development. On a per 36 minute pace, JV puts up all star numbers no doubt. He really has become underrated the last couple of years. I've never seen a player so effective get yanked consistently for no reason.
2) Proven in the playoffs, he can be a key 3rd or 4th piece. Always is clutch in the playoffs
3) His shot is also improving, let's see if his 3 takes another leap this year. If it does, watch out.
4) Continuity

shoutout to nick nurse, giving random civilians his MLSE employees 3% off merch as an assistant when he stopped by real sports

Looks like they're trying to bring a friend in for Kawhi in an effort to keep him happy

Kevin Love is only making $3m more than Ibaka each year until both their contracts expire after two seasons. With the Cavs rebuilding, would trading Ibaka, Norman Powell (and maybe CJ Miles) for him be worth it or not?

Ibaka is the weakest point of our team right now. Even if we go into a rebuild if Kawhi leaves, we'll still have Ibaka and his contract expires at the same time as Kevin Love anyways. If we get K Love our team could be:

PG - Lowry, FVV
SG - Green, Delon
SF - Kawhi, OG
PF - Love, Siakam/OG
C - JV, Love/Siakam

For depth we have the Malcolm Millers, Lorenzo Browns and the undrafted Rookie Rawle Alkins.

Thoughts?
