It’s tank like it’s not that hard whether you stealth tank this year or do a full tear down rebuild we need young talent. When your best offensive trait is offensive rebounding you know your team is garbage Masai needs to wake up and stop trying to build this roster like a 10 year old on 2k. We are so deeply entrenched in mediocrity it’s become pathetic to watch
Send Fred off and get some picks, let the young guys run the show. You have lots of ball handlers, Dalano, Flynn, Dowtin and Scottie. It's time for Fred to move on.
Agreed with Amit in this clip they have to figure out direction and leave Scottie to develop of course management needs to give him direction
Raptors should tank. Even if they turn the season around, it’s unlikely they will go far. Two years in a row, is it really worth it? Gotta think about that
Barnes and OG are the only ones safe.
We can play all the defense we want but if we cannot score we will not win consistently. Playoffs look sketchy unless we find new solutions
I think the Raptors style of play is way too dependent on other teams making mistakes. That's "ok" during the regular season when they can surprise teams. However, when a team see it coming or is just too good to make a lot of mistakes, they won't be successful because they end up relying on pure luck. Hard work and effort are great, but hard work and effort shouldn't be the main strategy.
I would prefer Nurse playing Birch more than Koloko.
Time to move from the FVV and Siakam nucleus. As this team is just a first round exit anyway
Barnes can't attack the basket when Siakam needs to close basket as well to be effective
I don't believe in tanking so that's never ever option for me. I believe we just need to make a key trade. I'm liking GTJ and Koloko for the future. Pascal too good right now to trade. I think FVV need to retire honestly and get on that coaching as staff.
The only thing is going wrong is you three. with your two cent opinions.. leam Canadians.. Lo
Hate to say this but I’m thinking we trade Fred and give PG reigns to Scottie. Maybe we could get a decent center for Fred?
Vision 6'9 would be fine if the person who lines up at C is a guy who can defend the rim at an elite level like Bismack Biyombo or Al Horford or whoever. Or if your 6'9 PG is a platoon of KD and Siakam. It's not the heights that make it not work. It's the lack of players who have an elite level skill in a given category. Frankly, we're just not talented enough with these guys to do that.
Imman needs to chill with her Vision 69 is a failure talk, it’s in its first disaster year and a weak conversation. Vision means there’s a target rooted in foresight. She keeps talking about we need a big and front office is blind to see that yet we drafted a centre; they’re fully aware. Vision 69 doesn’t mean a roster of just that, it means mostly comprised of tall players. This is the first year and we can’t even say the 6’9 players we have will be the same ones that will make it through the gauntlet in 3 years. Another reason acquiring a 5 is tough is due to our financial situation and lack of serviceable bigs, they’re figuring it out. You’ll get your center, but you need patience; teams aren’t openly giving up centers for cheap. Stop complaining and enjoy the process, no team or business is perfect in it’s first year; we’re learning and tinkering.
What a pathletic signing Otto Porter was ! No wonder he grabbed 6million $ per yr for 2 yrs salary. He gets to to sit on the bench as a spectator and do nothing ! If he can't play he needs to retire and free up a roster spot. Do the right thing guy ! Didn't the Raptors see problems in his foot in his medical. He hasn't played meaningful minutes all season. He didn't even suit up for pre season. I'm truly pissed. The Raptors in their desparation seem to make a signing like this every season.
