No need to pull the trigger. The product the team has right now is entertaining enough. That's the reality.

Siakam is essentially on the best max contract in the NBA (4 year REGULAR max), no player option. Still have another full year after this one. Literally 0 reason to trade him. FVV is a premier ball handler in the NBA and he is only 20 mil a year. WE couldnt trade up for anyone at that much money.

We have Scotty Barnes who is going to be a Raptor for life and the face of the NBA in a couple years, why get rid of the rings around him i.e mentorship and proven ability, and replace it with naive rookies.

Fun fact, if The Raptors made their free throws, we would be something like 35-17 or something. its actually a nuts stat


Masai just traded dashboard change for Jakob Poetl who is a perfect fit for us as a 5. Poetl scored 30 points the other day and Fred Van Vleet got a career high 15 assists in Poetls like 3rd game back... FVV finally has someone to pick and pop with. Actually a very exciting time for the Raps right now. We got our Boy back. Every true Raps fan felt it was going to happen eventually. Everyone likes Poetl more than Derozan. So its a great time in the North right now.

I think our ceiling is second round, and thats okay. That is a way better season than watching these players underperform just for another bust. Zion hasnt changed the league. Ball didnt change the league, Trae Young is ass now. Even Scottie Barnes' draft class is basically almost all having a regression second year. The false belief that tanking will provide you the only path to improve is bad for the league. Hinkie fucked everything.

Everything thinks if they tank they will get a Lebron James, every year. Hinkie fucked everyone. The Philly experiment failed. Philly tanked for nothing. They tanked for second round. They tanked just to have the greatest nba shot of all time against them in their replays. Tanking. Doesnt. Work. Much better product on the floor and on tv every other night now with Toronto actually making a playoff push.

Teams have been tanking for a loooong time, nothing new. Most of them just didn't do it right.

Hinkie just did it right, took it to the extreme, made the league change their rules rofl. Colangelo fucked things up after Hinkie was forced out (for exposing a flaw in the league), but they've still been one of the best teams in the NBA every single season since drafting Embiid. I'll tank for a couple of years all over again for that same opportunity to change the franchise and completely turn it around. No question about it.

Look at the Knicks, they tanked forever and have been trash forever 🤣

, but they've still been 2nd round exit at best in the NBA every single season since drafting Embiid.
Look at the Knicks, they tanked forever and have been trash forever 🤣 so you agree tanking is bad
