We need PG and C
Why did we ever think IQ would be a pg?
What if we make SB/pg, IQ/sg, BI/sf, CMB/pf and (JP/c*?) Why are we forcing IQ to be pg still?(Genuine question)
I hope we trade IQ. Bad defense and shooting is bad
When you look at the Raptors right now, everything is built around Scottie and he’s clearly thriving under Darko’s system. The issue isn’t the system, it’s the personnel. We’ve seen flashes of it working even with IQ, but a true centre changes everything. Right now, we just don’t have the roster to fully execute this style. So you really have two options. Change the coaching philosophy or get players that actually fit it. Personally, I’d start by getting a centre.
I was just saying this to a friend today. Immanuel has the lowest iq on the team. He does some really stupid things. He’s a SG, he’s always been a SG. He’s at best an average defender, but he got by because he was electric on offence. Well not this year
Everyone saying we need a C, we don’t. We just need to get yak p healthy. He’s perfect for what we need from a centre. We need a solid back up yes. I would draft a centre at pick 20-24 this year with our first pick. Do not trade it! This is a pretty bad centre crop for the draft. The best centres will go off the board between 17-25. So we can get the best or second best. Aday Mara anyone? A 7’3” true centre. From Spain, good passer and even better shot blocker
IQs 4 year contract and Jas 3 year contract actually have the same value but you get IQ for 1 more year. Personally I don't think Ja provides enough value to trade for him especially if it requires draft capital and likely more salary. Raps need a screen setting, rebounding center and Raps have an open roster spot. I don't understand why front office can't find a backup big.
Having Luka as your star must be horrible. He complains so much it’s so bad. It ruins the games. Scottie is starting to go down that road to: literally complaining while the play is still on going: that’s one of my biggest issues with players. You CANNOT let the previous play impact the next. LET IT GO! It’s in the PAST FOR A REASON!
I think IQ still has that potential in him that we saw before trading for him..i think something changes somewhere in the start of this season..his body language also changes…am getting that fred vibes heading into his last season..mayb the trade rumors taking a big toll aswel..but am sure there is more to his nonexistent attitude
Luka looks a lot more reliant on whistles this year
