Blow it up - Raptors 2018 OFFSEASON THREAD

[Broke Wave]

The game against Cleveland from February of 2016 was probably his best game too @Broke Wave

Damn you have a GOAT memory.


Dude almost pulled another classic Lowry comeback moment against the Cavs with Demar sulking on the bench. I can’t remember a signature entire stretch where Demar took over a game. That’s not sour grapes I literally implore you to post anything similar from him.

Beautiful example dude. Also if you can remember a couple seasons ago a game against Utah he took over like a muthafukka.

All this credit for Derozan when Kyle has been better than him every fukking year. He’s a product of the team consistently defer to him.

It makes me sick when people act like DeMar is the greatest Raptor ever when he wasn't even the best Raptor since Kyle joined. not one season was DeMar better than Kyle but the franchise and city manufactured this dude into something that he wasn't and the league and casual fans bought into it. it's fukking disgusting.

You might be the biggest Derozan hater on this site

Bruh, the force feed him the fukking ball, don’t hold him accountable on defense, and let him shoot any variety of contested bricks while going for calls without anyone telling him to chill. He doesn’t let anyone else eat and everyone on the floors first instinct is damn I gotta get the ball to Demar.

His 2nd greatest game ever as a raptor but let's not act like this is the Lowry we got going into 2018-19 that guy was a top 5 PG in the league we got maybe a top 12 PG now who's declined since 2016....

Btw his greatest game ever was game 7 of the 2016 2nd round series vs Miami...

Last year he really struggled to penetrate off the dribble against anyone and get into the lane....he did so effortless in 2016 now hes become almost entirely a perimeter shooter.

I can live with a whole new backcourt this season, but if Lowry's gone, who do you see them bringing in to be a starting PG?

What further changes you guys see them making?

If they trade Lowry and get back say Butler I could see them going with Van Vleet as a starter...if you have 2 stars at 2 and 3 the PG just needs to be capable...

That's true, he's definitely not the same guy.

The back end of his contract is going to be rough considering what he's getting paid. He's 32 now....that last year of his contract at 34 will be rough.

YOu think they'll get Jimmy?
