the scary thing is every team in the nba is scoring with ease and the raptors even with ot can barely get over 100
Bulls were able to come back because raptors can't score. And those lucky ol van vleet 3s are no longer there

injury prone og injured already
at least barnes looks good

 

[Instant Classic]

Atlanta might still be desperate for Pascal, so there's some hope, but he's an example of another asset we held onto for too long

 

[MikelArteta]

the next ten games, philly X2, milwauke x2, boston x2, @ san antonio, @dallas, portland. we might be 2-9 brehs

yup should have moved him last year. Let's be real he's turning 30 next year and this is who he is a 20-24 ppg 7-9 boards 5 assists on a losing squad. With the same moves the past 5 years, no one falls for that spin move anymore, he can't post up, his "hustle" is gone as well.

its not bad but he's a not a number 1 better to move him now for some young assets.

Honestly I think the raptors are in the worst spot in the nba, the only above average nba player we have under 25 is scottie barnes. None of our recent draft picks outside of scottie have panned out, our bench is putrid, starters can't shoot.

Pascal is 29 turning 30
OG is 26 turning 27

these guys aren't going to get better this is who they are

even teams you could say are worse than us at least have young guys with potential

we are paying like 20 mill to a thad young, otto porter jr and garrett temple for "leadership".

Yeah, no clue why we were buyers last season. It's a broken record at this point, but we shouldn't have traded a lightly protected 1st for Poeltl who isn't a moden center. ALso, getting nothing for Fred is just dumb and same goes for Pascal of course. Also should've taken the OG trade because dude has health concerns.

This team Masai and Bobby created is just depressing because I think most would be happy if we just let Scottie cook and then organically rebuild through the draft.

 

[MikelArteta]

every team that finished worse than us last year -

indiana has hailburton, mathurin, isaiah jackson, nembhard, jarace walker all will get better
orlando got banchero, franz wagner, jett howar all will get better
charlotte got lamelo, brandon miller, miles bridges all will get better
detroit got duren, cunningham, ausar thomson all will get better
even bum ass wizards coulibaly got potential, avdija got potential, and jordan poole aint bad

we have to to hope for a top 6 pick or spurs getting our pick

the poetl trade was stupid, esp when yhou saw all those big man bought out like plumlee etc. who would have given the same impact.

i saw scottie had ten assists id just let him run everything now

 

[MikelArteta]

Gary trent, og, siakam are all free agents. 3 of the top 6 guys are free agents and to keep them will prob cost 100 mill or more

I'd trade all 3

Just looked up the details of the Poeltl trade and we're fukked for the next 3 years . Our front office should've been fired after this.
