Best case is we keep the team intact this season, in addition to another key SG.

Then after this seasons over, we have those bad contracts of Ibaka/Gasol/Lowry off the books, with a lot of cap space to use.

With the influx of more Canadian players in the NBA draft, I hope we target more of them so they'd actually WANT to stay.

kwhi would have left any team he was on for la

i wouldn't mind lamelo ball next year

Theres no market cuz the teams that need them dont have picks to send and cant match salary..If anything Gasol will be moved at the deadline if were a .500 team i can see Lowry likely not moved...

i see lowry retiring with the raptors he and his family love it here:yeshrug:. I don't think masai moves him unless he asks

i see him coming back on like a 2 year 28 mill deal. I really would like to see lowry retire with the raptors, its been 25 years can anyone remember the last player who played with the raptors for over 5 years that retired with the team?

I can't even think of one

Boardwalk and Park Place
Nope
If cap space is what we want trading these guys for dudes with term would be horrible
Gasol and Lowry aint going anywhere...theres no market for them at least until the deadline when maybe someone gets desperate to add experience...Dont be surprised if we keep this team in tact and add maybe a Justin Holiday or RHJ....

It doesn't hurt to see what we can get. Just like how we were willing to part with JV and crew for Gasol, you never know what you can get.

We just saw 7 draft picks and an all-rookie player sent for 1 guy. So you never know. :beli:

I can't see Lowry getting $28 million for 2 years to stay with the Raptors. I don't think Masai would sign him to that much money at his age.

You have to spend 90 percent of the cap I can see it happening

I’d love for Lowry to retire here

Toronto as a city is horrible for guys to retire here, carter, Alomar, sundin, Bautista, none of these guys retired here

I’d love for at least one prominent person from our championship year to retire here and it deserves to be Lowry

Defense minded
Like them old grizzlies team grit and grind

Having watched a bunch of Nets games over the years, I wasn't impressed with his defense either. That's probably because they played him so much at the 4. Don't like these 3/4 tweeners who can't shoot.

me neither but its going to be straight defense
basically if you dont play defense you won't get minutes on this team

just curious where will the points come from, losing kawhi and dany is like 35 points a night
