Doug Smith reported it, then quickly retracted because it was a fake account

I'll miss what Davis could have been. He easily had the most talent of all of our deep bench guys.

The off court issues has to of affected his play this year. I had high hopes for the guy.

who's left to trade with?

Oladipo traded to the Heat, seems that would mean Lowry is out for the Heat?

With the clearing of roster space and no big trade, i'm pissed that they didn't sign Alize from the 905 now

I guess they were holding to their plan of getting a big payout or nothing here. I really thought we were getting Herro...
So...are we bad enough now? I feel like we're about to win a few games and finish in the play-in tournament.

I'm not complaining. I wasn't a fan of trading our best player ever in a chump deal. I hope the Nuggets win the championship and the other contenders are left wondering what could have been had they acquired Lowry.

Are we though?
We're going to miss Powell's scoring. Thomas has been a non-factor. Davis has been in/out of the rotation all season. Hood can help off the bench. Trent can replace part of Norm's scoring. We lose a bit of scoring but gain a bit of depth.
Still no centre though.
God damn i miss Serg

Unless we go into shutdown mode it appears that we will be still too good to fail and will push away from the bottom instead of towards it. Currently find myself unsatisfied with this day.

I don't think I would have been satisfied with Olynyk and Robinson either. Garbage return for Lowry.

I don't think I would have been satisfied with Olynyk and Robinson either. Garbage return for Lowry. Agreed. I think Philly would have been the best location for a couple prospects but then they decided George Hill was good enough for them...he's not. They need more ball handling that Hill does not do. Olynyk might be Canadian but there's few players in the league I hate more than him. Duncan would be nice but you're going to pay him the same as Norm so at that point keep the guy you have already that loves being here.

LMA is being bought-out. One could dream.....

Post by freewheel on Mar 25, 2021 14:52:19 GMT -5
No chance unless a guy just wants minutes to boost his value. Most buyouts are going to go for a seat at the end of the bench to watch someone else win them a ring.
Anyway this was a lost year from the moment they announced they would be playing in Tampa. I even predicted they might fall out of the playoffs.

On that note i did wonder about why Drummond would choose to go to the Lakers as is being rumoured. Seems like he's one that needs to boost his value before ring chasing and becoming like JaVale and getting bounced around. Going to a middle of the road team and helping them improve seems like it should be his best move.

Would sign RHJ today. He can start the rest of the season at C. It was a mistake to not bring him back.

Sorry, not putting this in general chat, he's always be a Raptor.
5 for 7 from 3.

Doesn't look to be too many C's near our draft position although I'm just looking up a few mocks and know very little about the guys available.

They're going to sign some free agent centers. I'm confident they won't make another Baynes mistake. It isnt going to be difficult to find an upgrade. There are probably 2 dozen backups in the NBA this year who would have contributed more than Baynes has. Now that doesn't suddenly mean the Raptors become a contender again. They're a long way from that. But getting back to being competitive is reachable. Here's an example. Dieng and Olynyk are 2 players that could be avaible or even bought out soon. Two underwhelming career backups I don't like one bit. I say the Raptors would be comfortably within a playoff spot had they been our centers this season.

What's our good bud Ed Davis doing nowadays? He always had those good underlying advanced metrics.

Post by freewheel on Mar 28, 2021 20:53:57 GMT -5
Missed out on Dieng. I'm disappointed though I understand why he would choose the Spurs. He can get minutes and they still have a shot at the playoffs. My Bobby Webster meter dropped a little though. His first year out front hasn't exactly been a good one for his resume.
Perhaps this is all a master plan to stink so bad that ownership will be desperate to keep Ujiri and give him whatever he wants. I can hope can't I?

Bobby/Masai definitely missed it this year with the center spot but everything else was ok. The trouble there is that center spot was ruined because of the Giannis chase and that's something you need to go for it you're in the hunt for that, so while it is ultimately disappointing I don't really take too much against it.
That being said any missed signings right now can be seen as tanking too so not much there either. It looked like the Portland game has nurse in on the tanking too with a weird 4th quarter lineup. Keep that losing coming.
