The Schroeder and Mcdaniels getting pay bumps argument is not really fair..it's not like the raptors were already rostering and paying these guys and then gave them better contracts. That was the price tag, since they outplayed their prior deals. Sure they could've got somebody cheaper but at the same time, the cap is going way up so these contracts are not a big deal at all.. the real issue is shopping siakam
Masai hasnāt been great since they won a chip. Dude won one ring and let it go to his Damn head, same with Nick Nurse. What have those two done since winning that ring?
Nobody ever talks about how Siakemās contract was the beginning of their mismanagement. Itās obvious he canāt play against the best and they paid him max because of his work ethic. That championship team did it by committee and Leonard was the MVP they needed to get it done. Siakem wasnāt even the 5th best player on that championship team and he knows it.
Nurse wanted to leave – it was pretty evident with the awkward press conferences and not letting the bench play
FVV contract – no one in the league anticipated FVV to make that type of money, let alone make more money than Kyrie. This contract (similar to Gobert trade) looks bad now and will look worse in a season
Poeltl contract is understandable because Raptors overpaid for him and it wouldāve looked awkward to let him walk as well.
FA additions nice consolation for adding Schroeder and McDaniels for cheap to decent contract
Siakam will be interesting since all signs show heās looking for max dollar which Raptors would give him.
Either way, I think goal is to go play big and fast with a tonne of ball movement.
If the young guys show up, even with making mistakes, itād be interesting to watch.

Do you want a slow rebuild or a longer rebuild? This version was stale for a while outside the 4months Kawhi was the guy. Watching Fred pound the ball and be the worst shooter in league (his teammate Brooks is the other worst shooter) has done it's time. Thru could he e signed and then traded him later but the Team is doing a 180 degree turn which didn't include Fredball or iso after iso after iso. They will trade Siakam for some young pieces and try to change the style and that guarantees they will be worse that the mƩdiocritƩ they've been last few years.

This take is why no one listens to these twits. All narrative no actual knowledge of the situation at all. Waste of Fān time.

Editing on point here
Massiah should be fired. He had the perfect opportunity to trade og and fred when teams wnated them
RAPTORS NEWZZZ
Couldāve had Anfernee Simons
gassing fred heās mid. we got better
Clowns
These dudes know nothing lol
Masaiās close to perfect record as pres/gm went down the drains this year. Only reason he has a job next year is cuz the claw came in clutch.
Keep calm and carry on –
