    No way

    Edit: people are about to slate a guy who had season ending surgery like he or the FO planned it.

  4. Spectro-X

    Cap experts out there: Does Otto opting-in (on a deal that used part of our MLE last season) place any limitations on our ability to offer exceptions this offseason?

  5. EarlofSlammwich

    Nice When healthy he looked pretty darn good

  6. mMounirM

    this guy better play 15 minutes per game next season

  7. Ambitious-Ad2226

    If he can be healthy and contribute off the bench, I’ll take it 🤷‍♂️

  8. Gadzooks ladies and gents I for one am shocked

    But honestly hope dude gets healthy. Lord knows we need the depth

  9. killthebunnies1

    He should just be hard capped at 15 minutes next season. Nurse played him 20+ minutes too many times.

  10. Ssstanimal

    He should be a magician with the way he disappeared from the team this season

  11. drewtheblueduck

    Awhhh yeah someone choosing to stay with the raptors lol

  12. FriendlyFireHaHa

    was honestly a big loss for us this season that no one really speaks of. He was to be a big part of the bench, and he’s a 3 + D player I’ve always liked. He did play well whenever he was on the court too.

  13. I’m reminded he’s on this roster once every few months

  14. JustAnotherMark604

    This was one signing I was actually excited about. Could have used the bench depth instead of having to rely on an old Barton

    Seems like this is a win for us from an asset management standpoint, no? Should allow us to trade him, would think someone would probably take that contract with only 1 year at that price

  17. trinxified

    This guy was always injury prone, even when he was in Wizards.

    Decent player in fantasy when active, but more often in the IL spot.

  18. ScotlandBarnes

    Get this bum out of here, hopefully we can use him as trade bait

  19. Stinky_DungBeatle

    Not surprised in the slightest he opted in, it was pretty obvious seeing his last contract was a vet min.

    I also don’t expect him being healthy and he will injury something else again because he’s made of glass. If we got an actual 50-60 games that would be ok, but with him…..

  20. FalseZookeepergame15

    Not a surprise but we need a backup shooter as he won’t play a full season.

  21. AlexRescueDotCom

    Was it a left foot injury or a toe on a left foot injury? For some reason i thought it was a toe injury. How long do toes need to heal?

    Injuries suck. Nothing we can do.

    My beef with him is that he wasn’t even on the bench in a lot of games. Unless he couldn’t even sit straight because of his injury…

  22. eatscheeks

    I keep forgetting he’s even on the team lol

  23. Embarrassed_Habit199

    Banking OPJ to be healthy will always be a double edged sword

  24. Imaginary-Ad-8083

    Unfortunate but expected. Hopefully won’t cost too much to dump

  25. EPLemonSqueezy

    How the fuck did this injury prone dude get a player option?

  26. IcyOrdinary1

    Honestly forgot about him, dude was invisible this season. Makes sense for him though.
