A report has come out from Michael Grange that indicates the Toronto Raptors could potentially run it back next season with a very similar roster…
Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

I think Masai messed up really bad not trading the core except Barnes at the trade deadline
Scottie and OG are your core. Everyone else can go to build around them. I get OG has had reports saying that he wants out leak. However, those same reports stated he was frustrated over his role on the team. Make him your 2nd or third option for now in a rebuild and see how it goes. Yeah he could always be trash at offence, but his defence is there on a nightly basis. Run it and see what happens. We aint getting another chip any time soon. Plus I'm sure Spicy P can get us some nice pieces for the future.
Damn glad to see, ppl feeling this way about management and raptors direction 😂 I've been feeling like this since last year opening night lmao. Raptors are mediocre period. And dude spoke alot of facts if we just sign and bring back current core. I really thought masai or someone on management would see that a rebuild is sooo necessary, to be int middle, where you're not contending or getting good draft picks is the worst place to be in. Been there last 4 years, guess masai is comfortable with that smh.
So NL stops giving the free ritalin after high school huh? I'd say it's clickbait but I feel like you believe what you're saying.
My gosh reeeeelaaaaaax.. this is the coaching vacancy anxiety again: "omg no coach yet?!everyone else has one?! Why dont we? Masai lost direction! Time to freak out– oh Darko? Oh my gosh what a great pickup! What a great direction!"
Dont we see whats up?
Remember the report that apparently Masai and Bobby are difficult to deal with? And really? people surprised and are upset that they gonna run it back like its 2022?Of course no one wants to trade…! Yet. Raps FO is so tight lipped and so of course no shake ups because NO ONE KNOWS if charlotte is fo'sho gonna draft Scoot or not. Bruh! Soooo you'd think maybe there is no trade because FO waiting to see what course of action to take. Like why act if they dont know if they still have a chance or not at offering a package for Scoot whether he lands at pick 2 or 3.
PATIENCE. Due dilligence. Its how the coaches were selected. Just smoke a blunt, relax and let it ride. Freak out when there is something concrete to freak out about.
Anyone remember Scotties first year? How many wins? And no Darko wont magically fix this roster his assistsnts will. Why no one talking about the assistsnts? Mahlalela was here before so he is familiar with offense and roster. Anyone guess what he did while he was here? Yeah. Development and he even coached 905. And Delany Teaches offensively minded players to become stronger defenders.
Only problem with current roster I feel is Gtj coming offa the bench. Hes been cool and understnding but 2 yesrs in a row… I sense disharmony. Just wait to see when the dust settles where we at with shooting after draft and free agency.
…then we can start to drop our koolaid plastic cups and freak the eff out lol
So what is everyone suggest that the Raptors do? Trade FVV and Siakim for whatever is being offered and remain in basketball purgatory for decades like Sacramento? Toxic Raptor fans sound like low self-esteem Leaf fans which means they will be happy with 2nd round playoff exit every year. Let Masai play poker against the NBA.
VV has to go. He single-handidly destroyed everything about this team.
The Heat beat the Bucks without Giannis, the lowly Knicks and a Celtics team that underperformed. A good run, but they really aren't that special.
We will be plain unwatchable if we run it back
Denver and Celtics been the same for like 3 years .. n y’all crying just to make a move? Sheesh …
Stop saying core. It's fred. Say fred.
If this is true. The Bradley Beal trade will only be the second stupidest decision of the off-season
When have Toronto media been a reliable source for any inside info.?… Lol. People need to calm down the off season just started, let wait for everything to play out. Yall fans sound Bi polar.
Naaaw, Fred needs to go, Pascal can go to but only if we get 3 and Sharpe lol😂
We're getting close to the last time I watch you have an aneurism over something Grange says.
The Heat had playoff Jimmy Butler. We don't. No matter how you manipulate this roster.
Masai better smarten up because ownership might fire him next. There’s no need to run it back get rid Vanvleet and Siakiam.
Bro. Nonsense. Neither of those teams have had to deal with the chaos the Raptors have. Have you forgotten about the pandemic? haha
OG was 2nd team All NBA
Pascal dropped 52 in the Garden
Nobody in the draft or available for trades right now is replacing that. Chill
It's funny everyone thinks they're better than Masai now lol… you ask why we can't try this roster this year? Because Nurse was the problem. Want an example? Look at Yuta in Brooklyn. I'm sorry, but how can you say this roster can't work? When we actually did better the year prior with a lesser roster. Yes, we've always had a winning culture, we just did bad last season due to multiple reasons revolving around schemes and development involving Nurse. Yes, changing a head coach is a BIG change.
But the truth is they are running it back so accept it!
The decision was made at the deadline, how is this breaking news? All the rumors are BS, we only have the 13th pick. Scoot is a pipe dream. Reality is the play in tournament.
To me, the hiring of the developmental coaches are to develop a bench to support the starters.
We are not close, but Masai and Bobby have more patience than all of us and running the team. I trust they know more about basketball than all of us.
The players on this team are just flat out boring to watch. I don’t want to watch pascal iso into a spin move 80% of the game. Just give us some youth to be excited about
We need to trust the organization to do the right thing for the team. I heard many NBA players giving credit to the Nuggets for sticking with their players and not panic like other teams have done. Is Grange the same reporter that said raps would be drafting Suggs because Raptors insiders told him they would?
Pascal is not a leader of clutch – he is a good #3 … trade him for a # 2 / problem solved
Honestly at this point the problem is Masai.
Did this clown just say Kyle Lowry the greatest Raptor ever Vince Carter will always be the greatest Raptor ever hes the reason Toronto even a team right now
Otto Porter is a great player who gets injured when he is not utilized properly. He is only 30 years old and his three point shooting is top shelf.
This is when a big change will happen. If you can get Scoot, you make the deal. This will not be known until they see if Scoot is still available.
Raptors are not as good as the Heat, not yet anyways
If we do not change things up go for another generational player, we will be in the lower half of the league for years
Good job ben keep up the good work
I don't trust these generic reports. If the Raptors were getting a good deal they would have traded these guys. Late first rounders and subpar players on garbage contracts for OG or Pascal doesn't help the Raptors.
Fools gold!! This team is looking like 36 wins Masai! Rookie head coach too! Raptors need to stop putting the cart ahead of the horse. Everyone is sounding that Rajakovic is the savior. He's not Phil Jackson or a magician. This is a 3 or 4 year reclamation project and the growth takes time! After rooting for the Raptors 25 years straight, I'm liking coach Mike Malone and Denver. I'm rooting for Nick Nurse too. It will depend on offseason moves and the draft to define how strongly I will be behind this team. They need to focus more on basketball too than being too political.
You really do great with these videos Ben.👍
Bro Miami heat have a superstar in butler who can elevate his game pascal is not on that level I’m sorry but we all have to accept this
FVV must go then let’s run one last time new voice new coach before we trade our star players for draft pick which we’re not sure if they will play better than our star players plus our players are hard working people there’s no guarantee who ever we trade or draft will blend in our culture as long as we have the 3 core of Pascal,OG and Scottie I’m good with that and a good rôle players
