Trade rumours around our best player this season….stupid!….Build around RJ, show gratitude to RJ and let's go~
RJ Barnes and Ingram are a strong group. I’m not a huge IQ guy because of defensive liability
Why always trade a player better than no-bag Barnes? Scoring is the most important aspect of the game, and team success.
I’m not sure what everyone was expecting this season. The team said they were rebuilding. Darko said they will be working in individual skills and we have been watching it play out all season. Barnes taking pull up 3’s from the top, RJ being the lead player, one on one defence tor all…. Getting IQ back into game shape, seeing how players handle different situations with wacky line ups and given more responsibility…. This was all outlined.
Darko talked about and layer out a plan to get better. First work on improving overall individual skill, then playing as a team and then winning.
RJ needs to stay until we see how he fits with BI and the starters . He is a solid player who is great for the culture…and he's getting better!
I hate having to hope my team loses for a percentage chance at a better pick.
I think the Raptors should be above tanking.
