Nursing Leonard to 74 wins - Official Raptors 2018/2019 Thread

I called it in the pre season...i think he is as well...
But i also think the Clippers are gonna try to sign both him and Kawhi so thats one advantage we would have by trying to trade for him now,is it probably gives us the advantage in signing him next summer...
How can we sign Jimmy and Kawhi next summer tho 
One of them would take Demars max slot,but we'd have to shed a bunch of contracts and its not like we want to break this team up in the middle of what could be a finals run....
The ibaka and Powell contracts are fukkin us up...We need Serge to keep playing at this level so we can sell high on him...
Imagine finding out Masai and Nurse's plan was to re integrate Ibaka as a post player to boost his numbers to flip him and get him off the books

There it is. It's happening^^^
Had Warriors in 6 before the season. Might have to upgrade that to Raps in 7
Might have to prepare my self to lose some or all of OG, Siakim and Delon
IM ok with moving one of OG or Siakam for Butler just not both...Ive convinced myself that both will be quality pieces but never more and for that reason its worth trying to get an all star who we have a great shot of re-signing because of his friendship with Lowry....
I think raptor fans are guilty of overrating some of our bench pieces individually when the fact is the strength and what makes them look so good is the overral unit playing together....Ive come to that conclusion,no matter how great Pascal looks in pre season or how much his shot or handles improve ,hes not an all star and hes not going to be one....

Yup, and of all years to swing for it, it's now. Guess it's always nice to see a team succeed where a good portion was drafted/built within. At the same time they are assets and have to be treated as such. Especially as bait to get someone like Jimmy who is already proven and would give us a 3-headed monster. shyt with the way Ibaka is playing, like it's his prime OKC years, that's 4. Lol.

I tried this without Ibaka: NBA Trade Machine - ESPN
Just wait till he 100%
People mistake his season avg bad with the spurs cuz we work as a system so ur always gonna be limited on what u can truly show in stats except during playoff time is when he gives pretty much way more freedom on what u can do.
Kawhi hadn't had a 50 point game or a 10 assist game but he he could have easily numerous times but thats not how its run down there.
I've seen him since day 1 and know he still is gonna add more to his game and excel he does it every season.
Right now he just trying to get his legs but best believe when he does I feel sorry for anyone who faces him
Like I said when he truly takes over 2 examples are these
May have lost game but controlled who damn game alone
Offense and defense and doing it against KD he singled handily did that against them
