We’ve OFFICIALLY Lost it…
We as Toronto Raptors fans have officially lost our minds now I know some fans taken a set back not watching the Toronto Raptors games and just saying hey I’m not going to put myself through this none of my favorite players are out there on the court the Raptors
Are currently doing a tank whether intentional or not I don’t think it was intentional but with all the inuries the trades that happened all these types of things the Raptors have put themselves in a position where they are on a massive Lo losing streak here now at
This point they are doing everything in their power whether intentionally or not to get that draft pick back we’re play praying for the San Antonio Spurs to go on a win streak to close out this year so we can catch them in the draft standings but the Toronto Raptors they
Are losing a ton of games and anyone that’s watching the games as a fan of this team regardless if you’re rooting for them to lose it is tough on the mental well-being of anyone watching this ton Raptor team just get pummeled night after night after night and it’s
Getting to some of us it’s getting to us because again content’s a little bit dry I feel it out here on the YouTube space trying to find interesting things to talk about regarding this Raptor’s team it’s my passion it’s my love but even things get a little dry out here on the
YouTube scene I’m sure it’s the same for these article writers and the people the fine folks of Raptor’s Rapture and all these people that sort of make content around this team it’s just it’s just how it goes it’s the reality of covering a specific sport seems so niched down and
I’m no stranger to a bad take I’m no stranger to being overly optimistic about the Toronto Raptor’s ability to do something or anything like that it is it is what it is you know it’s Sports you can be wrong we’re all fans of this team here so I’m not saying anything personal
But I woke up this morning and my dad sent me an article he sent me a little report for me to wake up to you know check the old email and and I saw saw a report Raptor’s potential free agent I’ll pull it up here dream free agent
Target that may be available that may be more available than everyone thought you see Scotty Barnes in there so obviously it’s not Scotty Barnes he’s not a free agent so who could this be who could be out here is a potential Target is a Nick claxon more Nick claxon hype you know
Someone again it’s Raptors Rapture it’s more of an opinion piece similar to what we do here you know not ha not hating on the grind not hating on the search but I read more into the article and I just yeah basically how do the Raptors land a second star I won’t
Read all of this for B but basically saying it’s tough to land someone in free agency you might have to make some trades and when they do tend to sign in big cities Kevin Durant San Francisco all these different teams Toronto is a massive City but it usually isn’t considered a metropolitan destination
That stars are looking for that doesn’t mean they’re completely out of the running for a big star however eventually things will come together where a combination of roster money and location will appeal to a player it’s unlikely but it’s in the realm of possibility that it could happen this
Summer so again who could this be this Toronto Raptors team that hasn’t won a game in over a month it feels like which big free agent which big free agent we going to ATT track it’s probably a young guy of course to build around Scotty’s timeline I’m thinking Nick Claxton in my
Head here now if if it does the dream Toronto Raptor free agent this summer toand star the pair with Scotty Barnes and jump start their rebuild is none other than LA Clippers Wing Paul George so I had been sent an article about the Toronto Raptors Landing Paul
George now again I’m looking at the other teams I I cover all NBA news you can check out Courtside digest I’m I’m aware Paul George not coming to a close to a contract extension just yet with the LA Clippers they came to one with Kawhi Leonard but Paul George hasn’t
Come to terms with a long-term deal with LA Clippers but he wants to stay with the team long term it seems like the team is interested in keeping him around but they haven’t agreed to a contract so is there novel information regarding this because I’ve also looked at the
Betting ons again I give topics for Nick’s digest Sixers digest I know those are two teams that are favor to lamp Paul George where are the Raptors coming into play so Leonard recently agreed to a contract extension with LA Clippers but George remains far apart on contract negotiations per uh ESPN Brian windhorse
As I just mentioned and maybe the two sides agree to a deal before free agency or that he eles to resign with the team right away and sign an extension but at this point however Representatives clear crack opening between Paul George and the Clippers that could lead to a
Divorce this summer so Paul George is gone you know any team could get him basically why is he a dream fit for Scotty so George’s fit around Scotty Barnes is a tantalizing is tantalizing to consider defensively the two would terrorize opposing teams locking up two of their best perimeter players on offense Barnes
Could screen for George pick and roll George could space the court and initiat secondary actions Burns attack defense I mean they play the same position so I I I don’t know how this is the perfect fit or anything like that but someone’s a fan of Paul George mightbe Brandon
Miller W in this article we’ll see but in a large way by leaving George uh would swap out an aging injury-prone former Raptor for much younger version of that player Barnes May uh may never reach Kawai ceiling but has a lot of the same size strength and defensive profile
George could sign in Toronto and seek to replicates replicate Leonard’s accomplishment by Leading the Raptors to a title so again he’s playing with Kawai right now he’s going to say folks I want to I want to go to Toronto and do exactly what Kawai Leonard did there I
Saw the fans I saw the helicopters I’m going to go there right so George is 33 years old which means the Raptors could Raptors Court him and they convinced him to compete for a championship for the next couple seasons and we’ll need to convince George of the safe they can
Bring him and then use their remaining youth in draft Capital to add another player likely using yaka purle or RJ Barrett in matching salary a core of Barnes George quickley and a fourth key player has potential to compete it’s a pipe dream and unlikely to occur yet if
The Raptors are going to shoot for the moon Paul George makes a lot of sense to Target and now the news leaking out that he could be more available than expected this summer I mean Paul George would be cool man 22 points per game he’s older sure but five rebounds three assists
What are we trading Pascal for for going after Paul George’s off season I mean he plays the same position as Scotty barns like and this is if it was a realistic possibility he doesn’t fit the timeline he’s injury-prone he plays the same position as Scotty Barnes
And the big thing here is folks why on Earth would Paul George come to this team and I get it we’re better team than our 13 game losing streak whatever our losing streak is up to now at this point is concerned we are a better team than
That I will stand by that right now we have a ton of injuries to close out this year we are better than the worst team in basketball that we’ve been the last month but adding Paul George to this group again 33 years old has never really been the lead guy in a
Championship wining Squad is not going to make a difference it’s not going to be Championship contending difference from a lottery team to Championship Contender it’s just not truth again the Raptors could take some I think the Raptors are certainly going to take some development leaps with IQ with RJ with
Scotty barnes’s off season Grady dick I I’m excited for this Raptor’s future but to think that Paul George would even contemplate leaving Los Angeles a team that he forced his way to you know with kawh Leonard leave that Core group with kawh Leonard you know the team that won
To the Toronto that player that was key to the Toronto Raptors winning a championship to come to the Toronto Raptors a team that he openly pranked his family about to to get one over on him to say oh he’s going to Toronto his whole family was sad he made jokes about
That during the rumors during that summer when kawh Leonard ended up going leaving the Toronto Raptors and went to the LA Clippers he was making jokes about going to Toronto riffing his family saying well he’s gonna come here well we’ve been the worst team in basketball over the past month we
Potentially might not have our draft pick this off season we have no players that fit his sort of Age timeline and he’s going to take us heck forget over the Clippers forget over the Knicks over the Sixers over these types of teams I don’t know again it’s it’s a slow content day
Folks if people are in the comment section roast this it’s it’s just how this this time here goes but I F I felt I had to say something I felt especially where it was sent to me sent to me by my dad so it is what it is do you guys
Think the Raptors are going to get Paul George if not if so let let me know why I’m wrong in the comment section people already roasted this so let me know in the comment section you guys are the best I’m SED out cheers
Despite what some recent articles might say, the Toronto Raptors are not landing Paul George. Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

Unfortunately, I can’t wait for the szn to be over. Probably for the first time in the WeTheNorth era
Sports are for fun. If it is not fun, why watch it? I watch sports to lessen my stress and not add to it. It is all good.
I mean Barnes Quick RJ George Jak is solid no? its not are $ they will spend who cares if we could make it work why the FK would anyone say no to a gtd winning season with that starting 5!?
At this point the only thing Raptors fans have to look forward to is free agency. While I actually like the concept of PG in Toronto, I don't think he does. Why tf would he leave LA, his hometown where his friends and family are, where he runs a podcast and is winning basketball games, the city he loves very much just to leave the country and play for Toronto, a team in transition where the only parts of the game where he'll be getting a larger role in are defense, off-ball movement and mentoring young players. "Hey, wanna move to Canada so you can play more of the least fun parts of basketball?" If it were the Raptors or nothing this offseason, he'd just retire and hang out around Hollywood.
Hahahaha PG? Get the fk outta here. There’s about 300 players I would prefer in t.o.
We have our core. We just need this top six pick. I also believe the raptors will try and use bruce brown and maybe future second round picks to try and move the 2024 pacers pick up, maybe to 10-14. Clingan could be right around that spot. Buzelis to. There’s way more skill in this draft then people think Rob holland, Cody Williams, Nikola topic , Kyle fil. Any one of these players COULD be there at 10-14. All depends how these lotto balls drop there’s maybe no super stars in this draft. But there are future all stars. This draft is deep at starter level players. There will be starters drafted in the 20’s
Man content is hard to come by these does. Raptors rapture. Really Ben.
PG probably knows he's not getting a chip so maybe chase a bag??
Would be cool ngl but idk if he would wanna be here
That "article" was published two days early because today is April Fool's Day.
As Randy Jackson would say..That’s gonna be a no from me Dawg..
So we let go of Pascal who's not even 30 years old and replace him with a similar player that is almost 34???🤪😜
Sad week to be a raptors content creator
It’s sad and pathetic how desperate the team is to lose games now, all because of their horrible decisions over the past year and a half.
why not just go after pascal again?
It is not tough for people who dont talk that much. Raptors will draft Cody Williams, Zach-Adey and Day Ron Holmes II. This is worth Tanking
I didn't want PG when Kawhi was here. And I don't want him now bruh
Yall will complain about PG13 being old but are completely silent when it comes to 33 YO washed up Kelly Olynyk who we gave up a 1st round pick to get lmao.. At the end of the day PG13 still has years of elite play left and makes us instant contenders in the East.
Honestly PG13 is still an absolute bucket despite age and injury concerns. If we didn't have to give anything significant up for him i'd at least entertain the idea for a rental. He's a fun player to watch still. He would've been someone that we drafted if he fell at 13 in 2010. It's surprisingly that he even dropped to 10 with his skillset.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😂😅😅😂
I believe Raptors need to stop listening to fans and go back to doing what they thinki is best. Listening to fans got us Bruce Brown for All NBA champion Pascal Siakim. Riding this L train back to the baby dinosaurs label
Bridges lol
I think its just some clippers beat writer trying to dump off Paul George to the raptors for picks and young players. Same way some raptors content creators trying to push the narrative Scottie Barnes will be a cry baby and ask for a trade out of Toronto if masai doesnt trade all their assets for a win now player so the raptors can get to 1st round and get bounced. and continue to be MID because they have no assets left for a long time. Or they try to sell the fairy tale of bruce brown and the 2024 first round picks can get Markkanen out of Utah to the raptors. by doing this they appear disingenuous and lost alot of credibility. One of these for example Pensare was jealous TheWairachReport got an interview with Jontay Porter, and he started bashing TWR.
Has Ryker officially retired yet?
Who are we gonna get thats Better than George.. Bring George in and other players will follow.. We Should not want to waste a minute of scotty Barnes.. We Should not want no more loosing season after this one.. We have an allstar player.. we need to build a team to win as soon as Next season.
I don't want playoff pee
He'll take less to stay with the Clips
You see Vassal and Sochan are out for the rest of the year 😬😬😬
George on record said he wouldnt mind playing in Torornto with DD and Lowry. This is a decade ago… Also if we are talking about matching Scottie with another defensive nightmare wing, OG might come back.
PG has not accomplished anything in his life in the NBA. It's a Joke, and he is mainly the reason why Kawhi Walked in 2019. Kawhi wanted PG instead of Siakam and Masai told him no. Is the biggest idiotic thing to do, and I would kill myself if it ever happened.
"F" PG
They have to lose otherwise this season literally wasted
I rally don’t care at this point, we didn’t get better after the Tampa tank, not sure why you think we will get better after this year. By better I don’t mean making the play in
It wont happen because agents will funnel the stars to the largest markets… plus there's definitely a US city bias.. we've NEVER signed a top free agent, and NEVER will unless its a Canadian born player. The agents will just use Toronto as a pawn at best.
They're literally sending GTJ, Olynk and Dick out there to do battle with NBA teams with the 905.
That’s never gonna happen, unless hell freezes over.
PG-13 isn't leaving California. He'll be with the Clippers or some other team in the State.
Bro no one’s watching the raptors this season lol
Kawhi said get george or hes leaving… and now we’re going to get george when hes 33? That was the worst article ive ever read. Article also talks about trading barnes.
We do not need Paul George lets not give up even Boucher for him
Lol i saw the article i look at bleacher report as troll job. There takes are usually dumbfounded and they treat raptors like we are the nba’s dumbing grounds just waiting for the opportunity to take on the nbas trash. Not only is this not going to happen, no way did we trade pascal for an even older star. Even if geroge wanted to come here. I actually do like the fit, not at the expense of rj tho, and would only take him for team frendly deal. Id rather roll the dice on young core we have already tho. Gradey and rj the future wings. We already got our core ready
25 Raptors IQ, PG,RJ, Barnes, Eddy.
I will stop watching if masai bringsbthis guy here
