You said it all
Dwayne Johnson.
The Garrett Temple signing is still the signing that’s makes no sense!! I would Trade Flynn to open up a roster spot.
Jeff Dowtin would have to vastly outplay a roster player at pg to justify the raptors buying out a player for full amount if its the league min as the player likely wont get onto another team till midway into the season or not at all. dowtin will have to play like sam dekker shooting 3's while getting 4 assists and 4 rebounds a game for him to justify buying out a player and eating his salary and then paying jeff dowtin the league min of 2.1 million to put him on the roster. very low chance probability unless a player gets injured and cut. even if its flynn there is no guarantee a team will claim flynn on waivers making almost 4 million a year. and flynn wont accept discounts knowing he likely wont end up on another team till mid season if at all, and he will be getting the league min if he signs with another team.
I thought Dowtin's G League rights belonged to the 905? I read, shortly after he signed his latest contract, that if he didn't make the Raptors main roster his G League rights would revert to the 905 as an affiliate player. Meaning he would play for the 905 but any NBA team could call him up not just Toronto.
I’m really surprised that Thad and Garrett are both hear! That seems like $11 million and spots waisted. I see one vet’s value and that would be Otto because he can come in and get some quality shots up. We aren’t winning this year so young development more of a key.
Just what we need, another so-so pg with a close relationship with the coach to take growth opportunity away from Scottie Barnes. In mid we trust!
I could see Dowtin making the cut.
Why sign Temple? In case a big trade filler contracts are needed. Plus he a great bench vet if not traded.
Some think Flynn was done raw the last 3years. If waived he’s still paid. No one picks up his waiver he can sign anywhere in the world to start; and showcase himself leading up to UFA next year. I don’t see why he couldn’t even sign with a GLeague team and brought up as needed. The last thing he needs is to go into free agency after sitting on a bench all year. Raptors love doing solids for players.
they even made Scottie lose his smile at time
What hurts is seeing Dowtin join Maxey in the pg room of the sixers, imo these 2 guys are going to get along great and drive competition. Tough mindedness is Dowtin's greatest gift, combined with his willingness to move On and offball quickly while moving the ball to teamates means he's going to drive positive play
Lets get real, more than the coach, Schroder went to Toronto bc of the money. LA wont be paying him that much & he expects a bigger role. Theres no competition for that PG position in Toronto..
