As long as FVV is gone I’m good.
We better hire jj redick
Do we get KD back?
I'm all in for getting Sergio Scariolo back on this team. One of my favourite assistants from that title year and defending year. The second sergio left we had the tampa year, the 1st round exit year, and then this year. Not saying they are 100% correlated but sergio kept seeing success after he left, and we dropped off a good chunk after he exited (especially offensively)
I hope "open gym" is documenting this whole head coach hiring
Its not Spain its Italy…Greetings from a Raptors fan from Germany…lets go Raptors!
FVV’s “playoff pedigree” means squat to any possible suitors. If he comes off the bench then he might be useful but teams have figured out he can’t lead an offence.
I think Sergio Scariolo would be a great head coach. However, I still think Becky Hammon would be better. I think this Raptors team needs someone from the outside coming in to shake some things up and I think Becky would be a great fit.
Would you trade valet dude & siakam for ayton & some other stuff? 🤔
Unless Malachi inexplicably takes a leap forward this off-season, he is absolutely someone to move on from. I'll beat a dead horse and say Dowtin is our best option at this point
I don’t think they have enough cap space to just throw at Fred. Maybe get Chris Paul in a sign and trade as a temporary band aid
Correction, Bologna is in Italy, not Spain! My bad on that
Chris for Fred makes sense. Chris is a way better mentor
Fred is welcomed to go elsewhere. Sergio would be a great head coach.
I’d rather you at pg next year. At least you wouldn’t sell the game for your stats
They should make him head coach he's really been good for the Spanish national team
Good player
I believe this Fred rumor. The suns have had success with players they’ve picked up from the raptors. You had Cam Payne and Wainwright both go there and have success. They might be coming back to the water hole.
apparently hes on contract til next year
What are scariolas recent successes though besides the 2019
Yes Sergio. Get him back 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I like Sergio Scariolo but I feel like he’s going to bring back scrubs like Juancho. I still Juancho was signed because of a co-sign from him.
Put Barnes on the point. Giannis started to dominate when Kidd put him on the point.
Sign and trade Fred Vanvleet for Chris Paul Pr Deandre Ayton
We look really good without FVV so stop lying
Lol bologna is in Italy 🤦🏾♂️
Yes, it's time for Fred to go somewhere.
Jeff dowtin Jr is the only true point guard on the Raptors
Nick Nurse is good for coach mature teams like Bucks, 76ers, Suns even Clippers
Keep VV please, he doesn’t deserve all the trashing he gets here. I’ll trust Masai in whatever he decides with VV instead of the expert commenters here.
When can Dowtin Jr be signed?
LOL funny thing is I was thinking about sending FVV to Suns for Paul and get a few pick from them. And surprise surprise here we have news it can happen. I’m too good with this shit lol
