The Off-Season Thread

[Mr.Adaptable]

one of the worst off-seasons in history of our franchise; Ibaka got underpaid by the nail-clippers, and Baynes overpaid by a valid source, the raptors.... and, bembry? wtf, this team is not only toast, but burnt toast. Giannis is not coming, sorry guys.

[Mr.Adaptable]

easy to beat an unestablished player in Boucher lol... we lost two former all-stars for 0

[Mr.Adaptable]

I'd rather lose Lowry for free

There weren’t any moves that raptors would have made this free agency period that would have made them true contenders. Bringing Ibaka and gasol back ain’t gonna help them this season much. So why not keep the flexibility for next free agency which is so much better? It’s not about just Giannis. I am happy with how Raptors are progressing. Stay the course.

There is more than just Giannis hitting the market after this year. Big guys like Drummond and Gobert are free agents after this year too. ..and they would look pretty darn good with our current core as well.

I agree though, I don't like giving up on this team for a slim chance at a guy. I didn't expect Gasol back, but Ibaka was a shot maker for us.

This roster is still so so weird..listing people at their ideal NBA positions:


PG-Lowry/FVV/Flynn
SG-Powell/Davis/Thomas/Harris
SF-OG/McCaw/Bembry/Watson
PF-Siakam/Boucher/Johnson
C-Baynes/Hernandez

I think they still want Markieff Morris to back up Siakam and push Boucher to the backup C spot. ..or maybe a trade is coming to move on from guys like McCaw and Johnson. . or maybe both.

Come on Masai. Please tell me we arent done!!!!

[smith&wesson]

I don’t think that works salary wise and Caruso is definitely not a SF.

ok so flip Norm to SF and Caruso to SG. that wasnt very hard lol, welcome to the era of positionless backetball. FVV is not a SG either.

Have to say, not feeling great about this team right now. They could very much be one of the top teams again but may just as easily take a step back.

Even if we don’t land Giannis, I’m ready for a Masai rebuild/tool. I prefer what we are doing this season compared to signing all the old guys back and doing worse than last season. This is a transition year. Finally.

And Norm is supposed to defend Forwards? He would struggle offensively against taller defenders too.
I’ve been calling for FVV to come off the bench now that he’s gotten paid so that should tell you something about where I stand with this small lineup.

And that’s ok. It was always going to happen. We’re lucky to still have the youth that we have.

Amen to FVV coming off the bench again. I want him to play 35mpg, I just want either him or Lowry on the floor at all times. Everything just works out so much better really. Look at this top 9:

Lowry/FVV
Powell/Thomas
OG/Watson
Siakam/Boucher
Baynes

Everybody can at least shoot the 3 if left open, and the majority of the looks are going to come from people who can really shoot. I'd still like to see them acquire another PF/C. Let's see what today brings..lol

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Markieff resigned so we probably not getting him
What about Jordan Bell if Lakers waive him.

I’d like to stick to the theme of having everyone able to shoot.
