RAPTORS NEED TO SIGN JAMES WISEMAN!!!
Day'ron Sharpe is the answer. Straight swap for Ochai. The salaries work. He's a beast of a rebounder, specifically on the offensive end, and offers a baseline level of rim protection. He can knock down some threes as well.
Bol Bol please
Need to trade Ochai. Need to give more regular minutes to Battle.
We need to sign mac mclung and bol bol
Time to waive temple
Trade sloppy barnes for LM
I have been with you all these years , Ben !! Bobby needs to get his shit together and GET A RIM PROTECTOR, DON'T LET GAMES SLIP AWAY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A RIM PROTECTOR WHEN POELTL IS OFF THE FLOOR ! IT DOES SEEM THE PICKINGS ARE NOT GREAT ! BUT THAT IS WHAT BOBBY IS BEING LAID FOR "FIND" A DECENT GUY !
@benrogers they had castleton and orlando robinson. what does this tell you, just any center wont fit darko's system. they gotta have high basketball IQ, they have to be able to ball handle and shoot the 3, and they have to be able to pass. if any body would have been good, they would have just resigned chris boucher. but obviously the basketball IQ, ball handling and passing was the issue.
We need a dominating presence that can grab rebounds & protect the paint & Bobby Webster has 3 possible options & yet he refuses to take action to solve this problem, which is actually his Job:
(1)Sign a Rim Protecting free agent C in James Wiseman or Mo Bamba.
(2) Trade existing assets like Mogbo, Temple, Ochai & a few Seconds for a decent C like Gafford, Messi, Queeta, Wendell Cartrer Jr, Isiah Stewart.
(3) Sign & try out a C from the G league & see what happens.
For there to be 3 options & for him to make our undersized & underpowered guards have to contiunally guard C's is just Unfair to our players like Scottie & CMB who are at risk of injury.
THERE IS A NUMBER OF NAMES BEING THROWN AROUND ON THE CHANNEL . ONE OF THEM MUST BE DECENT TO PROVIDE US RIM PROTECTION !! Nick Richards, Orlando Robinson, Jamarion Sharp, Mo Bamba, James Wjseman, maybe Koloko SOMEBODY !
Worry about bobby webster and the coach running this team …..we have a good team the wrong people managing it
Wtf….a minimum on Bol Bol…Webster are u special??
Thoughts on Serge Lbaka ?
i didn't mind what brandon did. showed some fire. some of the guys just play to passive or they're too nice. he's taken the reins as leader of this team.
Trade Ochai Mogbo Walter & some 2rp for decent 7ft + backup C
We need big bodies in the paint
I completely agree with Ben and have also been calling for the team to acquire another big man for the center position. The Raptors definitely need more rim protection and better rebounding against other teams with big center depth. Since the end of the 2020 season, lack of big man Center depth and quality, has been the major reason why the Raptors have not been successful. That needs to change this season, even if it is a trade of Ochai and a draft pick for a true decent back up big man.
Right on about not having enough traditional centres. This is a problem because it made Barnes and BI to have to step up which caused them to get injured last night. BI also had an unfortunate incident due to the above issues. Management needs to step up otherwise Raptor stars will be injured and/or have more undesirable outcomes!
In the case of BI, I take it as him just being passionate and frustrated over not wanting to lose. Can be taken as a good sign that he's invested.
Not what you want to see, but at the same time it's what you want to see.
No, we not going this path. More ball movement and more shooters & slashers.
Bring back Chomche
Bring back ex-Raptor Brandon Carson from OKC.. 7'1/2 ft center!
just sign serge at this point he would be the perfect alpha voice for the locker room also
They had Embiid who 30 going on 50 and Drummand 36 year old vet out there…Dwight Howard and or jvale magee would help in the rebound department and ur paying them the bet minimum why not give that a shot🤷♂️we probably win if we grab jus a couple defensive rebounds
We could use a Andre Drummond type guy off the bench, drew Eubanks sucks but is playing his best basketball as of late, bol still unsigned. Mamu should be a depth piece off the bench he can play 3 through 5, so we can stop sticking him a backup center. Also times like this u kinda wish we had Kelly still!
I can be a better cheerleader than temple bro wtf
