Taking a look at the 119-116 victory over the Miami Heat as well as examining the crossroads the Raptors find themselves in at this point in the season.
Let's compete. If we're bad, you get a good pick; if not, you're getting reps for the Raptors core. They should listen to offers related to players who don't make part of the future, like Olynyk, Bruce Brown, Boucher, and Poeltl.
we playing a game that is about competition. tanking underminds any thing you trying to build. like we really going to tell scottie " hey you playing too well, how bout ya sit down?" im really not sure any one knows wut tanking is any more, its such a buzz word at this point. let us just be bad and get a gem in the draft like we do. i dont know why these keyboard GMs think loosing on PERPOUS is a "winning strategy" when its a loosing mentality. we not a great team. so wuts the harm in getting as far as we can? imagen tanking to last place and not get the 1st pick. loosing ON PERPOUS is what got jontay porter a rico…
The solution is very simple, play as hard as you can and let the chips fall were they may. The Raptors have proven that the can secure a great pick no matter where they pick. Compared to what other have done with there top 5 picks. We will always find a needle in a hay stack.
This is the year to tank the entire fanbase would be ok with it & the prospects are the best they’ve been in a while.. we are probably too good healthy so trades should be made
I think we should compete but play starter max 32 min. Give rookies and young bench plenty of development time and if they still win games with that balance then they are ready to compete
One thing to consider about the centre position, is that Jakob will probably still be a valuable centre when the Raptors are ready to compete. It may be difficult to find another centre that is as good and you can't necessarily count on who's currently in the system.
Hope scottie understands that he doesn't need to be a top scorer to be a franchise superstar. Seems like he does, but hope that stays when IQ and Dick get back.

Very much on team compete here.
I don't think players want to tank, neither coachers. We have good starters and solid bench if everyone is healthy. Let's go Raptors!

I can see jakob being traded at the deadline.
Its all about the returns.
Tanking is antithetical to the spirit of competitive sports 👎
