Yes why give up our good players for nothing in the summer we can do it…Good move
Now Scottie B can hang out at the 3pt line to jack up shots with GTJ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll take on players from the Spurs any day, Pop doesn't let his inmates run the asylum. Talent is important but so is professionalism. Something seldom discussed.
The Raptors are secretly tanking because they are heading to the Lottery with one of the worst offense rating (near last) in the NBA and playing starters too many minutes is the Regular season means disaster
What top free agent wants to play for the Raptors with high taxes in Canada and a Coach who is delusional wearing out starters on defense and iso offense.. Horrible management.. They will not be at the top for years to come.. One time finals for at least another five years
Masai and Boddy didn't do there job. It's obvious he believes in this group or want to give them another chance for the play-in but then at least do more moves to improve the bench, etc or get some assets back before ppl walk. It's like doing half of the job.
Disappointed no trade. Masai Loves Fred so much.
Scrapping the bottom of the barrel like always.
Good trade, the Raps desperately need a big and Jakob brings some chemistry, but nowhere near enough to compete. Should’ve traded Fred, high chance he’s leaving this summer.
It is not too late to make the move thaty could change their season, which of course would be the best possible move of them all. Fire Nick Nurse before he totally destroys the team.
First round exit here we come again
i don;t want to hear anything about a thread mill team … I won't paying to watch this team play …
Could Fred leave raps like Lowry in the summer? (I mean is Sign and trade available for any player with contract expiring? Not familiar with the Nba contract too well)
I can’t believe Rob is better than Masai 😢
I don’t expect Sportsnet to ever slam the Raptors
We over play our hands an lost…who will be coming off the bench si center we have a center now when OG gets back? An your tell our bench is now stronger to help out our starter mins?
So disappointed. They should’ve trade Fred or Gary or OG for the future. They are not gonna stay in Raptors.
Fire massai
Smith is a homer, trying to put a massively positive spin on an incredibly mediocre team. The Raps are one of the worst shooting teams in the league, and benching your #2 shooter for a defensive center actually makes them even worse…. and Smith even acknowledges that the Raps can't afford to keep an AVERAGE team together… this has been a pitiful display by Raps management.
Answer is no.
WOOHOO🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖 RAPTORS 💯Lets Freaking GOOOooooooooooooooo🤩🏆💥
Fred is gone in the offseason why keep him?
Poeltl is extremely underrated. He is a top 3 defensive center in this league. Coming from a spurs fan he will help the raptors tremendously
