Top 5 and we on the run - Official Offseason Raptors 2021 Season Thread

[MikelArteta]

I wonder if all the COVID rules is making free agents pass? Family and friends gonna have to get negative tests plus proof of vaccination for foreseeable future to come up here, while won’t have to face any of that travelling within the US.

Also at all the Kyle outpouring while dude has yet to even tweet thanks Toronto.

the thing that irks me are that folks are signing for cheap deals. Raps bench is so weak a nunn ( 2 years 10 mill), mcgee (1 year 5 mill), taking a flyer on a guy like malik monk etc. instead. Money Talks raps have the cap space, we can't even get a robin lopez


As for kyle dude retweeted john tory licking his ass but cant even tweet thanks toronto, prob waiting for that corny players tribune article that his publicist will write

This not a single quality signing ..
This whole in Masai we Trust thing gotta go, starting to remind me of the Maple Leafs hopefuls ..

How much cap space we have left?

 

[Tom Foolery]

4 more left. Crazy the only ones left are the young guys they developed.

Y’all are starting to resemble a nfl roster

Breh just blanked out all of those Bargnani years post-Bosh

If Masai stays and Scottie Barnes doesn't pan out...man he gonna have hard years ahead of him

So what's the difference between Precious Achiuwa and Scottie Barnes? They look like the same player on the floor, so why is everyone kissing Barnes' ass?

Regardless how this roster ends up looking come training camp this gon be a struggle season.


I've already set my expectations low.

As of yesterday, Dragic still hasn't heard from the Raps

The tank rolls on in Toronto

Seriously though, if they suck, I rather they lose spectacularly and develop their guys than be a middling treadmill team. We saw all those Colangelo years where we were constantly 9th-10th and he kept making these shytty little trades and signings that ruined our chances at a high pick. Better to be proactively shytty to get an elite talent than fighting for the middle of the pack

Lol
Precious was actually the better player in college

Only thing I'll say is precious is an excellent rebounder prob the best on the raptors roster at the moment
dude played 12 mpg and averaged 5 points and 4 boards

It's the passing and his defense. Scottie basically played PG for Florida State last year and guarded 1-5. But yeah they're almost the same

Precious is the ultimate project. He shows glimpses of everything, but he doesn't know how to put it together yet. Precious can bring it up the floor and shows flashes of making great reads, but he gets nervous and just turns the ball over. He can hit a pull-up 3 in college and FIBA but somehow can't hit his FTs in the NBA. He's a great defender, but any chance of him becoming a starter/star rotation player lives and dies with him learning how to shoot and finishing through contact (which he couldn't do in Miami).

what do y'all think about dennis schoeder?
