Isnt Dunedin supposed to be hitter friendly?
Still thinking a Gurriel or Teoscar trade for pitching makes sense. Grichuk isn’t a safe option offensively, but can defend any position in the outfield. As bodies return, spots in the 40 man adjust....
Chicago and Washington with wins last night. Sacramento plays Twolves tonight. Hopefully they join the 24 win club...
I find myself cheering for losses and player development when watching the games. It is nice seeing bursts from Trent/Flynn and some of the guys playing for contracts next year, but it feels better...
Boucher was put in as necessity for salary matching purposes. Horford's got a big ticket.
No complaints about his progress this year. He has been excellent. I just don't like him having to play C...
Yuta signs standard NBA contract with Raptors (no more 2 way). I wonder if that also frees a 2-way contract slot for Gillespe after he finishes his 2nd 10 day deal.
While improvements from many of their young players have helped this year, the improvements defensively are what stands out to me when I watch the Knicks play compared to years' past. Thibs has them...
Sacramento and Chicago have no dropped below us in the standings. Sitting at 10th worst record. Only 1 game back of NO and two games back of Indiana. Washington has been coming on strong of late...
Didnt realize he was out. I see that now.
Maybe. Washington is coming on strong and Chicago still could turn it around (although at this trajectory, that could be an awful trade for them...
I think Davion Mitchell will be high on their draft board too. Raptors like locking down Junior/Senior players closer to their prime. With rookie scales and RFA rights, locking down a safe choice...
Yea. It has to be BPA strategy.
For Raptors fans, this article is fun...: https://sircharlesincharge.com/2021/03/19/nba-draft-keon-johnson-next-vince-carter/
Mobley from top tier. More risk taking big man early, but they are hard to find and I think he is legit.
In our most likely range, I love Barnes and Keon. Both for different reasons. Both are...
Doubtful. These are my tiers for us right now...
Lottery luck = Top 4. Kade, Mobley, Suggs, Green
Projected reverse standings = Kai, Barnes, Keon, Davion, Moody, Jalen J.
Play-in = Wagner,...
Pitching and defense struggling...
Absolutely. They strike me as a very responsible group handling health issues.
We have the tanking (but oddly improved?) Orlando Magic next. The free falling OKC Thunder follow. Chicago lost last night and we are tied in the W column
Kai Jones has a chance for Top 10. Depending how an organization evaluates the likelihood he reaches his upside
He's been awesome. My only concern is the injury history (pre-Toronto days). He has been quite durable here.
Boucher is the obvious loss, but his contract would be needed for matching and getting a pick back hopefully offsets that loss. Short term, Horford fits a positional need better. I prefer Boucher at...
As others have mentioned, there is a risk/reward proposition with him. Feels like a slightly taller Siakam.
Once we see what some players get in FA this summer, his contract might not look so bad. Supply and demand is going to make for a lucrative market for FA’s.
I expected to get blasted for this idea.
Kai Jones might be the highest ceiling-floor variable pick in the lottery. I'd be fine with it given our developental system. You broke down his strengths really well. He is a big swing, but a worthy...
Lol. Who is this?
Crazy suggestion. Because I am bored...
Raptors pick up options on Baynes, Boucher, Hood and trade them for Horford and a 2021 2nd rounder. Big contract but better than IFA Centers available....
