"I will retire a raptor.....Unless I can find another team to pay me $30m"‘I will retire as a Toronto Raptor.’ Kyle Lowry responds to trade speculation as short-handed club enters second half
Well I hope this is his last season then.
Top 5 and we on the run - Official Offseason Raptors 2021 Season Thread
- Thread starter MikelArteta
- Start date
Heres the thing tho,were not alone 26/30 teams cant lure free agents in the NBA....Most of the top 10 players were drafted by there teams....
I do think we can land a #1 in free agency,its just out TL hasnt lined up with the ones that will come here being available....i am sure we would have re signed alot of top guys noty named Kawhi Leonard after 2019,he was a special case...I think most of the african and euro stars would consider us in FA if we were a winning team and we had cap space at the time they were available...problem is when guys are available we dont have cap....Most star players re up a max deal with the team that drafts them...i think alot of it has been timing as much as anything....
He has reclassified for 2021 today
Also, Roc Nation just announced Precious Achiuwa going to the Raps. Looks like trade's about to be official today
who the hell dragic thinks he is?
He stay
So we gave up our cap space for Precious and to help Miami get better and also taking there trash....and we taxed them zero for it...
I hate the Masai loyalists that will defend it even more...

and you see the deals that dudes like kelly oubre , reggie jackson are signing for, raps could have had a decent player if they threw big money at them
precious will love toronto but meh
I wouldn't call Kelly Oubre decent, but I get your point. There's still guys like Josh Hart, Hamidou Diallo and Paul Millsap out there. I don't think we have any open roster spots after this deal either. Bobby said the team is going young now, so this is probably going to be the depth chart. They still have 3 training camp invite spots, and that's it
This is probably the depth chart:
Birch/Achiuwa/Gillespie
Siakam/Boucher/Wainright
OG/Barnes/Dekker
Trent/Dragic/Yuta
FVV/Flynn/Johnson
Two-way: Champagnie, Banton
see exactly why i didn't like the barnes pick. You draft a guy number 4 and you have him coming off the bench. Unless you trde og, trent, fvv where is he going to play?

I'd go Barnes Og Siakam and bring Birch off the bench....I'd go Barnes at the 5 on offense and have Anunoby guard the 5 on defense unless ur playing an Embiid then I'd go Birch....

He might get to start til Jan when Pascal is out, but yeah he is going to be a big time project. Precious too.
Gary Trent is also not a starter to me
Shot under 40 percent with the raptors . Only good thing just a short deal
Barnes couldn't start in college. How can he start in the NBA?
If we hit .500 this year I'll be happy.

He could he didn't because he was a freshman he was the 2nd best player on that FSU team last year....if they feel he's that good to be picked 4th than a backup C like Birch shouldn't be the reason he doesn't start this year on a team that's trying to develop him....
