Glad we kept RJ. TJD going to shine in Darko's system.
Just like what Bobby said, they wanna see how the team plays in the last part of the regular season and if they can make noise in the playoffs. Then they will see what they need in order to retool the team. Im glad we didnt send out RJ cuz not only is he a hometown hero, hes a consistent offensive weapon for this team.
I just wanted to point out that I’m a bit disappointed the Raptors didn’t add any shooting. They still have a big area of weakness there. They will be able to examine the buyout market, and perhaps give Alijah Martin a chance to see if he can fill that role.
Hopefully TJD gets minutes (at the 5) sooner than later
if Utah pivots from Kessler, get em
Bulls game was great – even if they only 6-7 players total which probably forced them to play Ivey, Simons Yabu and McClung early – Raps where on a back to back
so was Noice to see them not get gassed in the 4th like earlier in the season (during the Cup period)
If raps waive chris paul how can they sign someone without going over the tax?
Can you make a video or talk on the livestream about possible buyout targets the Raptors should pursue. i like the tjd move it's low risk and cost move.
Hi. Trae Young for Quickley? No thanks. Peace⛹🏽‍♀️.
A couple of points. One of the main reasons for getting a defensive big was to take some of the physical pressure and risk of injury off Scottie. Expect to see Scottie’s offensive numbers rise (even more so when Jakob comes back). Also, at this point in the Raptors rebuild I expect to see them beat the lesser teams and lose to the contenders. Once they start beating the contenders they will be a contender and they are just not there yet. If they can get to the playoffs and be reasonably competitive (winning a game or two) in the first round that will be a very satisfactory season. Anything more would be a bonus.
I would love to keep Mamu here, but TJD is a good replacement if Mamu doesn’t resign.
8:34 Brett said that player was Walker Kessler. I’d like to go for him, KAT or Turner if we have to make a move for a big man.
Also excited to see your videos on some college player lookouts for the upcoming draft. I reckon, we won’t draft a center.
