IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER !!
BETTER DAY BY DAY !!!
Its comical to hear some fans, "needing" time, "needing" to be talked into Ingram, they don't have much NBA player knowledge, especially for the nothing the team gave up for him. Probably the same fans who whined about Siakam being gone, who is now replaced by just as equal or better player (regardless of what Big Belly Blake says), plus the young additions we received – and the gravy being, we wont effect this year draft slot when selecting 4th to get the Lithuanian PG from Illinois.
alright i think this trade is an A+ for me considering he wants to stay, an all star player, and gave up little assets (i hate to see Olynyk go tho😢)
Lol all of sudden everyone a BI fan. BI is great as long as i dont hear ppl start saying he better than barnes now i wont be annoyed. He will be our go to scorer tho, hes gonna be everything we wanted gary trent jr to be but at 6’9.
man called Scottie a goofball LOL …
I know there was no malice but that was funny.
@benrogers if raptors smart they give the 5 year max but front load it so he makes less in his last 2 years, so if they want to move him, its easier to move him while he still productive.
Can’t wait to see him on the court. Next year is going to be fun. A solid draft pick, BI, internal development…things looking good. Go Raps!
Glad Ingram is here! I think he will love Toronto! Welcome Sir Welcome!
"First and foremost, he's a really great guy – you can't say that about a lot of guys in the league" hahahaha – love it! Being frank is always misinterpreted by defensive-sensitive people as negative or rude – BUT truth only hurts if you allow it too!
I’ve had headaches that last that long and no I’m not a female 😅
We never got KD but I guess poor man's KD will do
i am living out all of my Bruno Caboclo fantasies thru B.I.
I cant lie when BI dropped 41 on us last year I was like damn we need a guy like this.. now we have it lets go
People that’s saying the rebuild is being rushed are often not basketball guys, or people that don’t understand the fact losing for multiple seasons can also lead to players wanting out. We’re already going into 3 seasons of Scottie not making the playoffs and that can easily lead to him getting fed up and saying “enough of this 💩 just trade me” People always talk about tanking for years as if every player is cool with losing for all those years. The assets you’ve accumulated might be going out the door if they feel you’re wasting their career. After this season it’s time to start going for the playoffs. You think American players want to sit here and lose for years like Detroit and the Sixers were doing ? I don’t see how the rebuild is being rushed if we land a top pick in the offseason.
I know BI turned down $40Mil with NO but I would like to offer 3 years $39, 40, 41. The cap will go up so his % of cap will go down.
Continue the strategic play we will know more on path May 12!
If smart we will have 5-6th best odds. The current top 4 already have a decent lead on us. 76ers will still try to get into play-in. We need to do EVERYTHING possible to stay below bulls. We have 2 games at Bulls this year if I’m the FO I hide all the starter shoes. This is not the year for coin toss Ross!😉
Why are you quoting word-for-word what we can read onscreen?
He wants 50m next year. Is he worth 50m?
Ingram is a baller! He is a dawg! He will impact the team not hust with scoring
Great organizations don't tank they know its just another word for losing. Its not fair to the fans,players or coaches.
I did the thing
Brandon Ingram straight sleepy eyed assassin, smooth as they get. watch that high light reel
Been high on ingram since his draft year. He's made it look easy everytime we've faced him too. Easy A+ from me if we can keep all 3 of Barnes, Barrett and B.I.
Strawberry Blonde…
New Orleans fan. BI going to surprise alot of ppl with his passing. There have been unfortunate injuries but I can say one thing, he cares about the sport. He was always there for us in the playoffs
so happy to see Raptors fans stoked about Ingram. Nola is not a good basketball town, very negative towards their players. Brandon will thrive is a positive setting, im following him here, cant wait to witness this new chapter, lets go Raptors!
Better question Why?
We can probably go into the tax in 2-3 years and make a hard push.
I kinda have a feeling Ingram might sign for $40 million if we go 4 years.
4 years $160 million. If we go 2-3 years he will probably want 43-45 minimum.
I say do it. We are suddenly pretty deep. And super young wow. And maybe we add a top 5 pick?
I wonder if we go with kasperas jakachonas (spelt wrong) 6’6 combo guard from Lithuania.
Then maybe IQ gets dealt. I like iq, but at 35 million that’s a lot. Kasparas will be around $10 – 12 million or so for the next 4 years. So we could duck the tax. This could be the quickest rebuild ever. Next year we will already pass Detroit, who has been in a rebuild for 10 years.
Trade this years 1st for SGA
NO can’t be a max! Even if it’s 1 million under the max that’s 10 times better. Then it will continue to go up and up, and we can’t afford that:
It must be under a max
If he signs for something like 37.5, 40 and 42.5 mil I see it as a positive and I am ok with the move, we have to see the actual as I see a team like Goldens State being in trouble 120 mill in Step and Butler next year and either one of their bodies could start hitting the age wall very quickly. Even if all works out I can seem them flooring a team next two years under 200 mill. They maybe become very top heavy and this move for butler could be a disaster
Remember when B.I drained 8 threes on us? 5 in a row?
BI was actually offered the max twice in NOLA, but turned down to go for supermax. He's had a rough road for last 18 months, but was the franchise player before that. He can still be great.
Glad he wants to be here hope he can stay healthy
He said Scottie looks like he have alittle goof ball in him 😅 and he wants to have fun and show he has a little goof ball in him too 😂 gonna be fun🎉
We don't give a shit about his personality, Kawhi was Mute and won us a Championship.
Masai made a mistake with the IQ/RJ trade. IQ has always been a bench player. Always been streaky (Meaning inconsistent). RJ has always been the more consistent player. Oh, well! I guess $175 million is not that much.
BI is a clutch. And we need thay 1 guy in the team. A mutual interest between player and team is always a good news.
Raptors becoming a destination of choice is music to my ears!
Brandon moregrams 🍃💨
Hes not going to sign. Another trade rental. Everyone will hate him by July
It's gotta feel great as a player knowing a GM has been high on your skills, and been trying to acquire you for years. Happy to hear that he's happy and chose to come here
Raps will trade Scottie and their first round pick this year for KD
this guy will be a superstar in Toronto with all resources at his disposal
Ingram just called Scottie a goof. That's a go here in Canada 😂
If you get Cooper Flagg u have to let Barnes go
I'm loving brandons attitude it's nice to see😊
