Think no 1 thing for raps this offseason is moving on from the IQ and RJ backcourt. It limits their ceiling. I like the idea of IQ at 2 with a new point guard.
Scottie needs screen craft. Somebody needs to tell him he is allowed to make contact. Will open up opportunities for him and everyone else. Maddening low hanging fruit
I believe that the focus this season has been building a top ten defence and they have succeeded in this. I believe that next year the focus will be on improving the offence similarly. All these discussions ignore the timeline which Darko has been very clear about: the team will be a contender in 2/3 years.
The Raptors need a Center with some toughness like a Paul Reed, Isiah Stewart or Jalen Duren.
Secondly they need a 3 & D specialist that we haven't been able to replace since OG.
We need one more elite ball handler/shooting pg that can get into the paint & shoot like IQ but better so that IQ can play SG.
We need Jakobe & Mamu to drastically improve their ball handling skills.
We need Scottie to be more aggressive in the first half and improve his 3pt shot to at least league average.
We need Jamal Shead to improve as a shooter.
In my opinion & from what I've seen so far this season this team is in a lot of trouble, needs a major talent boost and is a lot further behind than many fans and analysts think they are.
Isn't part of the scoring in transition struggles that teams know we struggle in the halfcourt and depend on transition to bolster our offense so they scheme to shut that down especially?
Cant pretend I'm not disappointed RR has gone the gambling sites, moneyline route. I know that's where the money is and not your decision exactly but it's sad

If we are building a championship contender, SB would need to be 2nd and BI should be 3rd of the team

A historically weak East this year and we're a first round exit at best
Darko would be a great assistant coach…
we need to talk about darkos challenges

I think if we are to entertain Scott and CMB as a 4, 3 then the priority for attributes of a centre has to be 3 pt shooting.
this team desperately needs donovan mitchell

Scottie doesntt get to the line because he whines and complains after every shot. Refs are tired of it. Hell I been tired of it.
