I appreciate that when you show player stats, you qualify it with minutes per game. Stats mean nothing without that. It makes Boucher shine like it should.
Weird takes on this video. Also learn how to pronounce Masai's name.
Masai isn't in the business of trading for someone he doesn't intend to sign long term. Ingram most likely game the nod before this deal was done.
I’m a big bi fan but I don’t think he’s going to stay bro
What’s the goal here though.. I thought we were gonna tank for a great draft.. I guess it makes sense if there’s an extension coming and guys stay injured…
If you don’t mind me asking where do you go to get all the footage of the players in the game from ?
All three of Quick, Scottie and RJ have had significant time missed this year. They have only played a handful of games together. Check the record when all three at playing.
If it's anyone I would trade it's Quickley. Not a fan of little guards anyway. The Iverson,Lowry,Vanvleet little guards were anomalies. Bigger teams are what's up where everyone is 6'4 and taller.
Great analysis, thanks!
Rj going to go
This Bulls comparison is nonsense. Toronto is a much younger team than Chicago was with much better upside and untapped potential. Good lord, let them get on the court healthy with a training camp under their belt before we declare them DOA.
So you got Scottie, RJ, Quickley, Dick, Ingram, Ochai, Poeltl, recent picks like Shead, Ja'Kobe and Mogbo. Now add a guy like Edgecombe, Ace Bailey, Flagg to that this summer, Masai building something again in Toronto.
Won't look so good if they can't re-sign Ingram
Who’re we trading iq for or who is replacing him lol fans comes up with crazy 2k logic
Just a suggestion: Take that hot potato out of your mouth…..please….
How many YouTubers does the president and GM of the Raptors pay so these YouTubers can say what geniuses the front office is? The President and GM of the Raptors have been disastrous for the Raptors in the past four years.
Iq has been so unlucky with injuries
We need BolBol 2 make this team really dangerous.
Quickely,RJ,BI,Scottie,Poetl is a play off starting lineup especially with RJ and Scottie and quickely improving still and also dick and other pieces on the bench
Honestly it's somewhat pointless to talk about all of their stats this year and be disappointed about them. The intention in this organization right now is to tank, you can chalk this year off. Obviously the "Mid Three" will come together when its time to compete next year with another genuine elite scorer. The trade for Ingram is massive, can hardly believe how little they gave up for such a talent at only 27 years of age. We continue our tank, we cross our fingers that lands us a top 3 pick, and next year we have the pieces to begin to compete. Great business, I'm finally excited again for the raptors
you forgot to mention RJ's playmaking. That's something he's never shown with the Knicks.
Great talent. Tall. Lengthy. Toronto has a lot of offense with Barnes. RJ. Grady and now add Ingram.
Scottie Barnes does all that plus defends the others teams best player, plus has had most of the opposing defensive focus on him. He already a star man.
Anyone hating are all the 2019 bandwagon holdovers that don’t know ball!
BI is going to be the leader of this team if he stays
I would honestly reconsider the picture of Brandon Ingram you used in your thumbnail
Problem is Ingram is a proven loser with no heart
They need a distributor that can make them all more efficient period
Toronto Raptors playoffs contender 2025-26 NBA season 🤔🧐🤨
What next to Charlotte Hornets you're next video Hoops Backyard Buckets 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
a big step forward. it'll be nice to see the Raptors playing some great bball again…. next year. first my Cs got to go back-to-back 😂
You missed the most important point which is that playing Ingram any significant amount of games this year would ruin the Raptors tank. Masai did the exact same thing in Wemby's draft year by trading for Jakob when instead he should have been tanking
