    Norm Powell appreciation thread. & welcome Trent Jr

    I think Powell deserves an appreciation thread.

    - This man went through wars with us in several playoff runs
    - He won a ship with us
    - we got him for Vasquez lol who was out of the league the following year basically

    Storman Norman we’ll be cheering for you in the playoffs fam. All the best.


    In coming: Gary Trent Jr I think this was a sneaky great get for us. A 22 year old with loads of potential and a guy we can groom in our development system. I’m not sure we could have asked for much more than that. But wait we got Hood too.


    Woot woot. I call it a successful trade dead line for us.

    His dad was a Raptor. It was meant to be.

    Trent Jr is not even all that great right now but Hood is just meh....like I fail to see where or how Toronto's trade deadline was successful. Y'all could have got Vucevic who would have solved your problems at the 5 or you could have got rid of Lowry and got a huge haul.

    But Trent Jr is still young...22 years old...does he have potential? Who knows

    Hood is what he is...bench player

    But Powell did win a title with you guys...so for that he gets ultimate respect

    Because Trent jr has a lot of upside and is only 22 years old. Watch and see how he develops with the Raps. Obviously you didn’t watch Portland in the bubble last year. Kids gonna be a stud. His defence alone has me feeling enthusiastic.

    He’s just echoing aman and I while we were day dreaming, but he doesn’t know the difference. He just took it and ran with it lol

    Potential "Lowry walks" scenario.

    Raptors sign Richaun Holmes (UFA) with the cap space. Use bird rights to re-up Trent Jr. Pick up Boucher option.

    It is completely hypothetical, but would people be happy with this next year?

    FVV/Flynn
    Trent Jr.
    Anunoby
    Siakam
    Holmes/Boucher

    Then guys like Watson, Bembry, Harris, our draft picks to round it out?

    Sorry, supposed to be appreciation thread.

    My favourite Powell moment still might be the steal of Paul George, followed by huge fast break dunk against the Pacers in the playoffs. Big arrival moment for him.

    Collins/Allen or bust this offseason. I could see them getting Turner as a consolation prize if free agency goes poorly.

    Man I’ve been saying for Holms for a while now. I didn’t think anyone one was hearing me lol I like that kid, I think he would be such a great fit.

    Collins went on social media and declared he wants to stay with the Hawks. I think the coaching change helped work that situation out. He seems happy now.

    I like both players. I’d be happy with either but aren’t they both RFA’s ?

    You never know. Paul George said he wanted to retire in OKC. But I want us to call ATL's bluff, see if they'll max him. They might not.

    Yes they're all RFAs so nothing is guaranteed but I want us to try at least.

    Either team will match what we can offer IMO.
