I can’t believe Masai did this to Jeff…especially after he got cut from the team at the end of last season but he stuck around and cheered for our guys even though he wasn’t allowed to suit up! Would anyone else have hung around like Jeff did? Probably not but he was told by Masai that this would be Jeff’s team! Masai also promised this spring that Jeff would be part of this Raptors team for 23/24 season
Eh yo Philly, Malachi Flynn, Precious, and Thad for your washed up James Harden. Hurry up before we change our minds
Having been a coach, you have to cut players, sometimes the better player, to make the team fit. And the money, never had that issue, but I bet it was the BIG decider. So… we got Javon now. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I hope Jeff does well, as with Banton. It just didn't come together.
This is crappie. Flying should be gone
Nurse aint going play jeff we all know lol. With that said, I was so sad Jeff was waived but this I believe this was strictly a financial decision because massai and bobby like him, he been with us on two ways for 2 years I believe, but the roster is full and they weren't going to buy out malachi with the remaining money he is owed, so as much as it sucks, it be this way sometimes. I'm still hoping we can get him back again at some point in the season if any trades happen on the team or get him back next season.
Guards that are Flynn sized need to be more dynamic defensively then he is, he gets exposed.
They weren't going to eat Flynn's contract. It is what it is. Fall forward.
Thank you Jeff, if not for you we wouldn't get the comedy gold "Delaware Blue Coats" video… He's going back to Nick Nurse's stable.
A lot of people didn’t know he had ankle surgery in the off-season.. thats not a surgery that you swiftly come back from.
I am giving him a month or so! You’ll see
He got lost in the shuffle. Best defensive point guard on the team.
I hope someone signs Dowtin to a full NBA contract and he shines!
Wish nothing but the best for dowtin, and you right Chev it's tough to talk about, amd it will end up being a what if type of situation. Let's see what Malachi got this season.

I hear ya man, it's hard to watch someone so willing and determined to just be a part of the squad, not get his chance. You never know what's in his future, but it would be nice to see him get another shot with us next summer if nobody picks him up.
Ditto Chev. Bitter sweet just about sums it up for sure and yes I would have liked to see him play last night. It is truly sad to see you go Jeff, I believe you will be an asset to any team.
Dowtin will take his length, on ball defense and first class attitude to the city of brotherly love and be in their rotation within a month
I toltally get what you are saying chev. The only reason why they would keep Flynn over him, is that is all fairness Flynn did not really get the chance to really shine. I say give Flynn a next year and she what he really got. I think they see something in Flynn that we might not see. I think we got really lucky with Shroder! Shroder is a real floor general who can put up 20pts/ game also. Believe me we will have less turnovers this season. Lets go Raps !!!!
I don't like how the F.O did him man. I know it's business but they kinda strung him along.
It’s a sad day for a player that has so much to offer, really sad. Thought he would end up being a back up point guard , he has the ops . Sad to see him go
I like Dowtin and sad to see him leave. He may have been the better player than Flynn BUT reality is, we have only seen a small sample size of what he can do. Maybe his ankle injury was a factor, having a non guaranteed contract vs flynn on a guaranteed contract. Maybe darko saw more in Flynn that he would work with. I hope Dowtin does make it on an actual NBA team. He worked so hard and was so committed. Want nothing but the best for him.
No idea why we waived him!?
He deserves a spot. I hope he gets his opportunity elsewhere.
I think Masai did not to eat malachi's money and he was the one that drafted him. Jeff's ankle surgery did not help. I would have waived one of the vets
Flynn is a way better fit. He is exactly what darko want as a PG
Absolutely!! I agreed I was hurt and disheartened I really liked him and Ron❤
I'm sad we didn't retain him instead of waving Temple. I was up for giving MF a chance to prove himself under Darko. That said, I believe Dowtin is better than MF and would not have wanted him to warm our bench the entire season on a minimal contract. He deserves more than that and his talent shouldn't be wasted in that manner. He deserves to play in the NBA. I just hope another team realizes how good he actually is and offers him a roster spot.
I wanted Jeff I made it known on your comment section, he deserved it… I kept looking at his body language on the bench in that wizard game he wasn't clapping or cheering, you could see he knew… I know he's gonna end up on the 76ers, Nurse knows him and hes on their gleague affiliates, everything was in motion when their gleague affiliates traded for him…. imma back my team so I hope Malachi plays good enough to make this make sense
With Otto and Thad I would love someone to give me a good reason for Garret? If he is player coach pay him to coach.
I get that Jeff signed $2 mil but we should have guaranteed $4 or 500,000 so would have gotten some $ for his time this summer – camp and the end of last year Will Barton.
Freeman Liberty is a huge surprise what a talent and gritty, the Raptors are that deep
Not happy with geff leaving. I like his game.
Dowtin wasn’t given a fair shot. The way he was treated it’s only best he go somewhere else so he get his. It’s unfortunate cause I really wanted to see more of him play with us
