This is Very Good News for the Raptors…
The Toronto Raptors just got some very encouraging news for this team as apparently Jakob Poeltl is finally recovering from his back injury, and from what we saw in this win against the Chicago Bulls, this Raptors front court might be a lot better than we expected.

Ayeeee
I like Sebonis but he's a bit overpriced. Im glad we avoided that trade.
It worries me when they set a time for poetl to come back… with his contract spanning into the next few years i dont want him to have a rushed return and feel pressured to plaay through his injury
Relax, it's a weak Chicago team. Even with Jacob coming back, this team is still not good enough to go deep in the playoffs.
I was at that game last night for my bday. It was brutal. I felt like everyone got drunk at half time.
But I did get a luchador mask so it wasnt a complete loss
Trayce and CMB could look like Dale and Antonio.
Why is nobody talking about Barnes decline? 13 points tonight and looked checked out. He's only scored 20 points once in the last 7 games.
since Jakob is projected to return before the All-star break, just let him sit out and rest whatever amount of games there are left before the break. so he has an extended recovery time and let him suit back up after the all-star break. efn thought he aint playing he can continue with the workouts he's doing jut so he's not sitting around
Raptors are ahead of schedule in their retool atleast we didn't have to sell
This certainly changes everything if Poeltl is back.
No need to rush him back let's wait until after all-star break at least. Potential chronic back issues are no joke
If we get Poeltl back, we have solid back ups now n should be golden 🎉
jakob poeltl is reported to be 2 weeks away from being 8 weeks away
So glad we didn't trade for a top 5 player in GA for sloppy barnes…my man killed them really earning that quarter billion dollar contract with 13 pts 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sit jacob till the playoffs
Jak gets back, we are playoff team. Keep the rest. 8
Bobby Webster didn’t draft CMB, Ujiri did. It’s sad how a guy can build a championship team in Toronto n get fired cuz the team is too cheap to pay him. So disrespectful
Bobby Webster is massai ujuri 2.0 fire him if he doesn't perform in the off season
Jakob was injured in preseason and they clearly brought him back too soon. Yes, back issues are never easy to manage but let's hope they make sure he really is 100% before he comes back again.
I feel like we need two more pieces to compete. We still need more shooting. Maybe able to pick up Middleton if he’s waived. Still need more size at center so maybe try to bring back Bamba. Just rest Poetl for end of season or next year. Still has 4 more years on his contract and nobody willing to take that contract
I will upgrade my original grade (3) when I actually see Poeltl play and play well. I also need to see how Trayce plays with the Raps system. He was not on my wishlist but I won't prejudge him.
They should’ve added Dick to the Nets deal to get Sharpe. But at the draft we need to trade IQ with a 2026 so we can resign RJ.
If we keep,our pick at the draft we better draft a 7ft Center who is 240+ pounds.
No sense rushing Jakob back until he feels solid. The east is a joke of a conference right now. The goal should be to avoid the Play-In. A fully healthy Raptors squad could be competitive against anyone in a 7 game series. Could be a first round exit but you never know.
Looks like non of your predictions came true. As always
Some village idiot put out agp. MAMO was going. Now they are hoping Poetll back before all star. That is dumber than MAMU mess. If he might play a couple games before. Fu forget it. Let him have that extra 2 weeks rest.
Ingram was on fire. Definitely an All-Star player. I’m disappointed he didn’t get chosen, like how? Must be those turnovers, Idk.
With Jakob’s degenerative-disc disease, I don’t think there’s any way around that. Even if you let it repair itself, no matter what you do to prolong this, it’s still going to come back under regular high load/use. It’s something that’s going to require surgery to fix completely. Don’t make it worse by bringing him back and having it flare up again, then finding out something we already know; surgery. What, just to get another 15-20 games out of him?
Dude is damaged goods, long term. AND eating up a lot of budget, too.
Get well soon, Jak
I just don't like Jakob and his back injury because this is almost a focus injury, Jak is getting complacent, he's cheating his movement when he does play, he cheats angles and turns slowly, he doesn't reliably stand infront of hard driving bigs and he just lacks the muscular back strength, he's doesn't keep his neck tucked and tight he doesn't feel the outside of his shoulders and triceps and it's because he doesn't squeeze hard enough, he doesn't sqeeze the ball and he doesn't consistently play hands on physically.
Pacers traded from Zubac ( Clippers). He has 2 years at $ 19mil/ $ 21 mil left on his contract. That is a effective and affordable contact Raps should focus on in Off season.
Poetl's is a good player. But teams don't want a player with serious health/back problems.
Will Chris Paul even play?
