Blow it up - Raptors 2018 OFFSEASON THREAD

[trick]

Hometowners never work out in Toronto for any sport

Bennett
Joseph
David Clarkson
Julio de Guzman

Cory did work out in his first year with the Raps. Getting him to take over Lou Will's role was another one of Casey's shytty ideas.

With all due respect who cares what this lil nikka thinks,hes here for two weeks and he thinks got the pulse of this team and franchise ....You cannot come back with exact same team and coach next year,the optics will just look bad....Nobody will take this team seriously,they could win 67 next year and nobody will care.

Bet July's decision to make moves will all ride on how Boston fairs against the Cavs. They get swept and everyone for sure is back. Even if they push it to 6/7 I see Casey here as the sitting duck next season anyway.

Curious to see what offer sheets FVV gets.

They should try to get Whiteside for Jonas. Move DeRozan and another player and future pick for Kawhi. Stagger playing time between Lowry and FVV

IM legit intrigued by this idea....Heat definitely want to move off Whiteside and im interested in having a rim protector,probably would cost you at least Jonas and another piece to make salaries work...or maybe theres deal there involving both Demar and Jonas...

Yea said that in the game thread....Celtics do in this series might go along way to deciding Caseys fate,for me im rooting for a 7 game series...

Fred will get something in the same vicinity as Norm...

Yeah, he's probably being political because the front office has brought him back a couple of times to help run draft workouts. I noticed they brought in Muggsy and Milt Paiacio () last year too. Also, if you wanna coach in the NBA, you can't throw other coaches under the bus if you wanna get an assistant job somewhere.

They just have to move on from DeMar. I think you can live with Lowry and Ibaka's contract since they're gone in two years, but JV is too slow. DeMar's contract is awful, they gotta ship him out the first chance they get as long as they don't take back a similarly bad contract. We've said it for years, he's a ball stopper who can't shoot and can't defend, and needs a lot of shots to get going. You can't win with that

lol demars contract is far from terrible and at market value. what are you guys smoking

you guys make his contract seem like its Jrue Holiday, Chandler Parsons or Mike Conley. Relax.

So if Cavs mollywop the Celts Casey is back

Yeah, and then there is the possibility of LeBron going West. That goes down and Masai will think the big hurdle is out the way. They will sell it as such too, even with Kyrie/Gordon returning next year.

So if Cavs mollywop the Celts Casey is back

Guaranteed. Can't believe Imma be rooting for Al Horford next week, like he's prime VC
