Raps are 4-0 when Poeltl starts, how do you feel about Masais decisions during the transfer window?

    To be fair, those 4 games were against bad teams. I wouldn’t make any conclusions right now.

  2. DarkChocolate_69

    Mans been playing FIFA career mode calling it “transfer window” 😂

  3. The_Mikeskies

    These wins would’ve been easier if FVV was in the game.

  4. hyplusone

    If we’d started him at the beginning of the season – we’d already be at 60 wins. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)

  5. I do believe this is the first time we had a 4 game winning streak this season.

  6. Drawjutsu

    I’d be more excited if Raps got Kuminga. But I’m not complaining with Poeltl acquisition. Makes the rest of the season more interesting. Versus, just waiting for Barnes, Precious, Kuminga highlights.

    Still a first round treadmill team. I feel no different lol

  8. jjkiller26

    Still too early to make a full assessment

  9. Bruh, people saying that we need to wait and see would be absolutely cooking this trade if it was a 4 game losing streak instead.

    It’s a huge upgrade and he makes us noticeably better. Every game he’s made more than a handful of great plays that were just non-existent before he got here.

    W trade. And if we re-sign him at a decent rate then y’all better be grovelling at Masais feet.

    We’re playing shit competition.

    We just barely eked out a win against one of the worst teams in the league.

    This team is fraudulent.

  11. Iamadissapointment4

    Still bad this team needs more shot creators we could’ve gotten one in the draft

  12. Pistons, Pistons, Magic, and Pelicans without Zion. Jury’s still out.

  13. slowbaja

    I’m not drawing any conclusions yet. I can’t wait to see him against Embiid though.

  14. jayinscarb

    “transfer window”. Tell me OP is a footy fan without telling me he’s a footy fan – love it

    Also, I’m happy. People here are too extreme

  15. coryw1987

    I’m sorry but we played the pistons 2 times the magic and a banged up pelicans squad, let’s wait till tomorrow when we play the cavs a playoff team

  16. I’d like to nominate The Poeltlgal Son as his nickname.

  17. dub-fresh

    Pretty sure we’ve been screaming for a Center for like 4 years … We got one … We better … Not magic

  18. BeigeDynamite

    I still think Milwaukee and Boston are in the east and not going anywhere.

    We’ve won games against low talent, so like I don’t know where that gets us. A first round exit? Might not be the worst to get Scottie some runs in the playoffs, but it seems foolhardy in the long-term.

    But like most of us, I’m just an armchair GM so I don’t know a lot of things – I’m just waiting for the playoffs if we make it to see how our dudes come along under pressure, or the offseason to see how we dole out our salary to FVV, GT3, and Yak.

  19. thistreestands

    They have won 4 in a row but they haven’t been that great. Weak opponents. Let’s see how they match up against some playoff teams.

    I don’t follow another sport besides basketball. I think the Raptors GM is the best GM I have ever seen . He single handedly dismantled the Nets this year. And the trades he makes are always in the raptors’ favor. I’m happy the raptors have him as their GM.

  21. thwgrandpigeon

    Call me sentimental but i like it when our guys are happy.

    But I’m also not jumping to conclusions when Poeltl’s been shooting far above his (to use a soccer term ;P) xg. We’ll only know what we have a month from now. But it looks promising.

  22. Nat_Feckbeard

    4-0 but against Detroit twice and Orlando. Let’s see some real competition first

  23. Pretend_Highway_5360

    Congrats you traded a FRP to beat the bottom feeders of the league

    Let’s wait until they play a non shit team

  24. Disastrous_Meet_7952

    Still think we could have done more with the trade deadline but very happy with Jak’s contribution

  25. Artsky32

    Hate it. We note beating anyone and our odds in the draft getting worse by the day. And we lost our pick next year

  26. GuessableSevens

    I still hate this trade, and I made a post saying we should expect to finish above 500 after we made this trade. Even if we went 21-5 to finish the season after the trade, our schedule was the lightest in the league and you cant really say we’re good til the playoffs. As much as I like Poeltl, I would’ve rather gotten a great talent in this draft and then S&T for Poeltl in the summer for exactly the same price, even if I still thought we overpaid.

    You guys don’t understand, there’s at least 5 players in this draft that would completely change the ceiling of this franchise. Wemby, Scoot, B Miller, Anthony Black, Jarace Walker, Gradey Dick would all make our team soooooooo much better within a couple years, and if we’re drafting in the top 8 we’re guaranteed at least one of them.

    The only way I view this as a legit W trade is if we win a playoff series this season, or at least go to 7 games. That would be valuable development and experience for our guys, so I can’t hate that idea, but even then… this team needs more top end talent. I just don’t think the ceiling for this team is anywhere near ECF or beyond, which is what I care most about. Scottie is gonna be a decent player but he’s not superstar quality, and same goes with Achiuwa and Gary. So what are we really doing here?

    Having no real big man most nights was hurting them bad.

  28. peepeehunger

    masai god king hero love sweet sweet victory

  29. FantaLoL

    It’s nice to win some games again, but look at the opponents as well. Everything is in context and the quality of wins means everything. The trade doesn’t mean we are going to win a playoff series
