OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[MyNameIsJonas]

If i had to guess they try to make a Poetl deal, and or move out RJ if they cant find common ground on an extension, but beyond that keep the core around for another go.

Dick being a change of scenery candidate in almost any world.

I do have questions if Murray is still Murray away from Jokic

Thing is, Murray was his best this year away from Jokic and this is a few playoffs in a row where the Jokic-Murray 2 man game has been shut down.

My biggest issue with Jamal is this:



That's a lot of bread.

But he was 2nd in OBPM amongst guards this year, 6th in crafted BPM. Ahead of Maxey, Cade, Booker. Right behind Jalen Brunson & Anthony Edwards. If we can find a way to cover for him defensively, and he can maintain that form, he's a ceiling raiser for sure.

I mean, if a Murray move is out there for Ingram + Dick + stuff, I'd circle around and take a real look at IQ + Jake for...wait for it....Sabonis.

C - Sabonis
PF - CMB
SF - Scottie
SG - RJ
PG - Jamal
6) Jakobe
7) Mamu
8) Shead
9) Bench Big


There's a bag of free agents I like as well who could slip through the cracks as well. Keon, Melton, etc

I’ve wanted DeAnthony Melton for a while now

 

[MindzEye]

I think I've mentioned him the last 3-4 summers in this thread.

Pablo Torre wins a pulitzer for his reporting on the Kawhi fuckery.

All while Adam Silver is hoping that it quietly goes away.

Knicks go belt to ass against Philly in game 1. They've gotta be favourites to make it out of the east.

 

[zeke]

Wolves clinically taking it to the spurs now.

 

[zeke]

What a turnover.

 

[MindzEye]

Wolves lucky to sneak away with a road win that looked in the bag a few possessions before.

 

[zeke]

pretty epic game though, and just a super cool matchup in general.

Raptors face several challenges in bid to maintain momentum in off-season

It was an enjoyable, refreshing season, but keeping the momentum rolling will be a tough needle to thread for the Raptors. Michael Grange looks at the situation for GM Bobby Webster.

Nothing too insightful in this article...

Given Poeltl was out for an extended period with a bad back at the time, the interest, let’s say, was tepid, with the Austrian centre getting buzz as having one of most untradeable contracts in the league.

But the interesting bit to me is that Gradey wants out:

The Raptors could likely free up more money by trading 2023 first-round pick Gradey Dick into another team’s cap space this summer, something the third-year wing would be amenable to, per sources, given he was locked out of meaningful minutes after the all-star break.

gradey's only value is as contract ballast in a trade.
