It's not funny anymore!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I put a big X on JJ Buckets picture and unsubscribed for
a. using it as clickbait.
b. copying all the other reporters making up reports to help other teams steal Raptors best players.
c. adding to rumors every year to get rid of players one after another, even when the player Pascal says he does not want to sign with another team.
d. contributing to all the player hate to destroy this team and making players want to leave because they are not wanted anymore and will be discarded.
Bruh, Gradey is not kinda Klay type of player at all. Hes more like Hayward to me, if he can put more weight.
Masai should – the raptors don't have the assets to try to keep retooling this team.
I'm sorry but there's no way Nowell is going to be successful against real NBA players during the regular season. Dude is 5'7 and is a massive liability on defense and offense.
If we simply improve our 3point shooting and rebounding we are not a bad team at all. Not sure what isn’t appealing about Scottie playing point forward with Pascal still being the main guy and OG as an oversized shooting guard. Put Jakob at centre and sort out the official PG starter as either Schroeder or Trent and I’d say that’s really a pretty solid starting lineup.
I listened straight through on your comments and you missed almost every call. Sorry! Yes it is only my opinion, but if I had the space I could back up every one. The most important factor you actually did not mention. For the last 3 to 4 years I had been saying fire the worst coach in the league, Nick Nurse. To summarize, poor lineup decisions, overplaying starters, poor player development, no recognition of real talent and how to properly use it and bad game management to start are reasons for so many failures. If this new coach is good you can throw out last year and get ready for a much better one. Unlike Fred, Nowell is a pass first guard. Raptors strength is up front. Get them the ball. Maybe Flynn finally gets a real chance before he leaves when he hits free agency. Gradey Dick looked so lost in the summer league. Sure he had spirts, but he will make little impact this year. Hopefully, without the Nick Nurse cancer Gary Trent will get back to developing into a solid shooting guard. With proper coaching, Anunoby should get beyond being inconsistent to develop into a Kwai Leonard protype. Don't duplicate the injury part though. Poetl did well last year, and if he can repeat what he did then he will do just fine. Siakim is still all star calibre. A new offense with a new coach. he will get back to a solid first option. He cannot be replaced by any trade possibility out there right now. Sorry people, Scotty Barnes has done nothing yet. Maybe the new coach will change that. He was so overplayed in his rookie of the year season that his stats were a little skewed compared to other rookies. I probably would not have voted hime ROTY. The only solid teams in the East are the Celtics and the Bucks. The Raptors will land between 3 and 6 so long as they do not lose any of their core.
People like Masai and Danny Ainge don’t do rebuilds they do re-tools.
Rode wireless go mic
Lets get real we should b trading boucher long before siakam for a pg
Enough of this rebuild nonsense…. Raptors have to retool or the NBA will make sure they remain irrelevant for the next 10 years… limited trades, poor destination for players and their agents. Plus Scottie will be gone in 2-3 years. Be careful what you ask for.
