Freddy is still such an important piece of what this team does.Quote:

Aside from Trent Jr, FVV really is our best option at sg, but he will also be needed at pg so it will be interesting to see what happens this offseason if Lowry does leave.
Fred is a good defender but I feel like he doesn't provide value on offence if he isn't shooting well. Lowry can positively impact the game if he isn't playing well. I also don't like how Nurse keeps pushing these guys when he knows they're not 100%. Flynn should have gotten more burn last night. Also, Flynn is already better than Fred at taking bigs 1v1.
Lol hopefully he will play all week. I'm going to target him in the third round next season. Gets you a lot of steals.Quote:

Haven't been able to see the games but looks like OG on a nice roll. Seen somehighlights and looks like be's creating more.
And I think Fred knows he doesn’t have to be the general right now. We need him creating baskets right now. What I hope - is that he knows Lowry isn’t coming back and takes the offseason preparing to be a better leader - rather than just an outlet late in the clock.Quote:

I’m in a tight race I really needed him tonight. But my opponent has Doncic and he’s not playing tonight either. I’ll take that trade off lolQuote:

This isn't my least favourite Raptor season of all time but it definitely ranks in the top 5 just below Chris Bosh's last year with us, Vince Carter's last year and the Kevin O'neal season. Some of you might think I'm exaggerating but I'd beg you to reconsider on the back of having watched Siakam go from an AllStar, to a player that would need a pick attached in order to unload his contract.
Flynn doing much better than before seemed to be overwhelmed earlier but is able to adjust better.
HysteriaQuote:

I am very disappointed with Siakam’s play this season but I still think he has value. You add a star to this team and Siakam will look much better. He is trying to be the #1 option when clearly he isn’t capable of it. So let’s hope raptors add a star player via this draft.Quote:

Can't wait until all the people patting themselves on the back when Siakam's shooting improves. OmG i AlWaYs KnEw He HaD iT iN hIm If He JuSt TrIeD aNd ApPlIeD hImSeLf. Kinda obnoxious when there are ppl who have supported Bargs for years.
I like the picks the Warriors have, I dont like the idea of taking on Wiggins. I also wouldnt trade Siakam. I may not like the contract, but I do like the player.Quote:
