Good game and respect to Raptors fans. My Bulls unbelievably took back the game in the second half thanks to LaVine and DeRozan, and I'll add DeRozan's daughter is the real MVP for screaming everytime the Raptors were in the foul line. The same trade package I suggested last video stands — I feel like Bradley Beal should be in trade talks for the Raptors. Sign-and-Trade Gary Trent Jr. and Fred VanVleet to the Wizards for Beal and re-sign Jakob Poeltl.
Let fvv and nick walk , resign Jacob, trade Barnes and our pick from this year for the 1st pick in this year's draft
Hopefully Fred walks
I don't want to bring up the missed free throws …but I'm going to bring up the free throws lol 😆
Build around scottie a who had a worse season than he did in his rookie year …can't handle , can't shoot and is definitely not a leader …no thanks
Great points Luca only thing is Fred tbh could work with another consistent backup pg but I understand the thought of trading him for saving money as well. Definitely need a roster with better spacing. We should have only kept Pascal if we drafted Suggs instead but we have Scottie sooo yeah
There not going to do nothing all they care about is selling out home games!!!!!
Come on man, are you really blaming the raptors free throw meltdown on a child lol
I disagree about Nick Nurse, I just don’t see him staying next season
Definitely get rid of FVV and PS. That's about 300 million and change off your books. They should also cut ties with GTJ, Thad, Flynn, Banton, Barton and Wieskamp. The projected cap space after releasing the two "top heavy" players should be more than enough to rectify the many deficiencies this roster has!
Siakam isn't a real #1 and last night proved that. He doesn't have the clutch gene or takeover gene like real superstars do. I knew when he had those 3 free throws late in the game he would choke and miss them, and that's exactly what he did. Kawhi would have hit all 3.
We're the Blazers without Lillard. Salvation is the draft. Because we blow an important game we have to ask ourselves where were we going except a place that kills our pick? We sniffed the almost-playoffs and I think we are lotto bound with the 13th pick. That's a good pick in this draft. I think Scottie can be starting point guard. I think Trent Jr is worth keeping and starting. I think Poetl hands down is worth keeping. Barton and Thad and a few others will leave but no reason not to give good roles to Achuiwa, Boucher, the first rounder, and a couple of guard depth acquisitions who shoot the ball. Koloka needs an opportunity to make a bigger rotation than 8 bodies. Somebody is going to pay Fred and his best move is to move on.
Can Masai. This guys a clown
Agree 100%… build around Scottie and OG, let FVV go and Siakam integrates as a #2 or #3 OR trade him if it doesn't work. Nurse has to probably go as well, as an enabler of the FVV and Siakam iso/ hero ball. Plus he doesn't develop at all; plays his starters to the ground.
Sorry to say this for the fans who are too high on building the team around Scottie: He's not that guy… He is just not proficient at scoring or defending the opponent's best player. We could have traded him for KD and contend for the title. I see that the team will be a perennial loser if we build around Scottie.
Sell all except Scottie and OG, period
Please get two or three big names, such as Damian Lillard, Rudy Gobert, Donavin Mitchel. Come on, we know that Siakam cannot handle being the team leader. It’s too heavy for himself. He was good playing along with Kawhi Leonard, Gasol, Ibaka, Dany Green. I was watching the game, and look, when came the time of shooting the 3 free throws, we could see how Siakam was panicking. Because he was thinking « All the Raptors fans are watching this… what am I gonna do? ». Oh, man, just shoot, as usual. But he couldn’t. Anyway, it was a team responsability, giving away the 19 points advantage is just unacceptable. In my opinion, Gary Trent Junior, Siakam, Boucher, and all the bench players who bring nothing on the table, should just leave.
Change the whole team start fresh
Bring Ben Simmons
Can they get their pick back From poetl?
It's not just the players and management, Toronto needs a complete overhaul of their identity. In my opinion the Toronto Raptors have the worst team name, worst logo and worst uniform in all of pro sports. They should change their name to the Toronto Huskies and wear blue and white just like the Leafs and Jays.
I think we all know, we are about to be the pacers 2019-2021
Pascal has to go Fred can stay
Raptors need to trade NN to Houston for a 2024 FRP and run it back (resign GTJ, FVV, Poeltl, waive Thad Young in June with a 1 million dollar salary cap hit) with Ime Udoka leading the team, holding FVV responsible and developing the bench unit. A 2023 top 13 draft pick should allow the Raptors add some more talent to their roster. Plus, Otto Porter should be healthy and help if he doesn't opt out of his contract.
Trade with the Bulls we are super Guard heavy
When you're up by 19, rest your starters and play the bench, give them a breather for the final stretch gd dam it
Fred, get out, Garry get out, coach big get out.
Get rid of Pascal he's the problem!
whats next? hit the fking bong thats whats next
Bro I agree with you 100% you hit the nail on the head with this year we buy Fred Van vleet and by Nick nurse and bye Pascal siakam these guys have to go can become a fan again I just don't believe in them all three of them remind me of The three Stooges
If you can't make free-throws because of a screaming kid,you should be playing in WNBA.
We are experts at Load Managing so how about Pascal for Zion?
Terrific wrap up Luca! Last thing Raps want is to be a Mid 😢
Pascal Siakim is solid number 2 on a contending team. You can’t win a title with him as you number 1 scoring option.
i agree with your takes.. hopefully the raptors front office watches your video and realize their mistakes..
Nick Nurse is not the way.. They will be in the lottery next season under him.. No Kawhi to hide behind.. Real talk.. Look at the coaching staff a morgue on the sidelines because of his stubbornness.. The have the worst offense I have ever seen in 50 years
Same as end 2018-Trade Deadline 2019. Move 50%+ more of the roster including multiple starters. Only way to do it. Now do you really want the man who created such disfunction and lack of roster talent doing this? Hmmm.
I'm completely fine with letting go of OG as well. If he is truly ready for a bigger offensive role, his ball handling should have improved right now. Right now, he nothing more than an elite 3&D wing which is good and all but a luxury at this point for this team. FO needs to focus on playmaking and bench depth.
fvv will be back at the start next year. he lost a lot of money with his play and would never get anywhere near what he wants so he exercises his player option.
nn will be back just for money reasons as i can't see the raps firing him when they are going to be bad anyways.
if gtj can get paid good for him i just hope it is not the raptors as there is enough inconsistent play as it is.
i can see them overpaying for jacob just so he won't be seen as a short term rental.
they need to put in some work as i am tired of all the bunnies missed over the season.
The very least is let FVV go. Otherwise this franchise will be doomed.
Retain Barnes trade every one else. 😅😅😅
Sometimes its simple…Lavine was a star, Raptors have zero
Salute Luca as I really enjoy your content as this was a solid end of the season video. This will definitely be an interesting offseason, probably more interesting than the actual season for us.
The problem is we can't rebuild or even really retool because we don't have our first round pick next year
Bench dept and shooting I like Fred and Jacob
all this 'trade pascal, trade pascal' talk…may I please ask and truly ask..for who?
OG and Pascal are being traded
I trade pascal for Maxey and Harris from Philadelphia plus I want 76ers first round pick
This trade would allow Philadelphia to target another piece in tree agency. I think this trade puts 76ers in a position where they could win a tittle next year
Embiid
Pascal
Harden
Tucker
King
Mcclung
Melton
Milton
Would 76ers part with Maxey ?
I think Masai is responsible for the failed signings in the past few years after winning the championship. The selected players like Flynn, Hernandez, David Johnson, and Dalano Banton did not perform very well. The signed players Len, Baynes, and the fraudster Otto Porter who was responsible for this season's failure were all very bad. You could have traded some great players in the mid season to compete for Wembanyama, but instead lose a first round draft to aquire Poeltl, and now you haven't even made it to the playoffs. It's time for a big change in the offseason. Or pray for a 1% chance to get Wembanyama:)
Raptors get a superstar agreed with you trade vanvleet get something good
I’ve been saying for years and getting flack for it but Masai is done, he is a detriment to the team and needs to go.
