The Raptors have 5 MAJOR issues to solve at the trade deadline
The Toronto Raptors have slumped to the worst offense in the NBA over the past 13 games. This goes well beyond missing RJ Barrett or an injury to Jakob Poeltl, but perhaps these injuries have highlighted key issues with their philosophy, their offense, and as teams round into form, scout the strengths and weaknesses and play the averages, Toronto is getting exposed for their clear talent deficit, and their considerable roster holes.
Here’s Toronto’s 5 biggest problems, and how I would solve them all.

disappointing ending to this live. no need to entertain the trolls during the holidays.
My high-school OFSSA championship teams scored 81 or more. At Stm Mary's div lll scored more
I am not looking ti Trade RJ he brings what this team needs. JP, IQ any of the bench except JS, SM, CMB are expendable
Add a pick to get rid of Jakob . Lol which he just signed a extension… I think the management should get fired before Jakob get traded
Man do I truly want to see Dayron ball on the Raptors roster. Wanted Cs to get him somehow but we sort of situated that area. Our guys just need to get reps in. I agree with you on talk to your four guys. Something has to be established, IQ being toward the bottom of the totem pole. That guy… man. Feel like I’m developing a bias against him
If we had drafted any center they wouldn’t see the floor
Talk to em Pen! Lol i only wish i wasnt behind on the live. Watching on my phone and getting calls makes it impossible to keep up lol. I been ready for point Scottie, got into so many fights with people in the fanbase because they refuse to acknowledge or comprehend that out best passer and decision maker can be our point guard. We not asking him to be Luka or even Cade but he definitely can do what Kyle lowry did but at 6’9 minus the quick pull up 3 threat but even that weve seen him run up the court and casually drain a pull up 3 after the defence sagged off. We already have the team and the pieces but for some reason we refuse to have our players play to their strengths and rather force them to play to their weaknesses. They want Scottie our best player to play off the ball and be a finisher when he’s naturally a pass first play maker, then our scorers who are best at play finishes especially IQ they want him to run the offense making his scoring now inefficient. Why we playing backwards? I understood IQ getting the Pg reps when he first got here because i thought it would help with secondary play making but to have him be the orchestrator just to push scottie off the ball pisses me off so bad. Then to hear other media members also push the IQ is the PG and Scottie cant run point just infuriates me to the max. When i hear that, that makes me actually want to crash out forreal. Thats one part of our seasons issue then obviously addressing the center depth we’ve lacked for the past 2-3 seasons now. Wtff man. How is not watching a 6’9 pg run the show not entertaining we literally can be the Showtime Raptors! Point Scottie with a stretch big, they going to have to give us Christmas games at that point
Some really great honest observations about the issues surrounding the Raptors. Thank you. Also I know some people don't like you responding to ignorant comments during the broadcast, but good for you standing up to them and saying what is needed to be said. There's enough hatred going around.
Respect to you! Merry Christmas
The worse contract 😅. Poertls' contract😅. Ask Poertl if HIS contract the worse contract 😅.Oh, he's supposed to be worried about how billionaires can get richer😅
Can we get Olivier sarr from our g league to help us?
