they might be after beal tbh. gonna be interesting

Will be interesting

i think its birch and precious as it stands, MAYBE powell if that trade goes through. but i wouldnt expect any significant moves for a center at this point. we seem all in on the positionless basketball thing now.

Hmmmn. I wonder what that might look like.
I imagine it’s a domino to fall after the sign-and-trade’s finalized.

 

[Amadeus]

They're going to try getting Dame. Good for them if they do. I'd root for them over BKN and LA any day.

He had a solid rookie year, id imagine the asking price for him would be very high and he is likely one of their few core players.

 

[canucksfan100]

On the brightside the core group of Barnes, Trent, Siakam, FVV, OG are locked up for roughly 94M.

Bad side is that group needs a better guard than Trent and some bench pieces with the remaining 25M or so. Siakam and FVV are who they are, I'd consider dealing Siakam if you can get a deal where you get a good young player and clear out his max Slot in the process

Building around FVV as the new Lowry and core youngsters of Achiuwa, Barnes, OG and Trent is actually very good.

Imagine if we can flip Dragic for Brunson some how.

Those saying the Raptors should tank, why? Their new core of Barnes, Trent, OG, Achiuwa are all 24 and under. FVV is the leader and vet much like Lowry was, your just missing one good piece from being a contender (If Lowry stayed, this team would be a contender IMO),

ye exactly, i think tomorrow we will see more movement on all fronts if reports are accurate

 

[djdev]

terence davis signs with the kings.

they now have fox, haliburton, davis, mitchell, hield, and wright as guards
thats alot of guards that are gonna want minutes.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Birch played well for us last season. Ideally, he would be a solid backup C/PF if we can land a bonafide starting C.

i dont think there are any good options left at center, they are more likely to see what we have in precious imo. we are gonna be a really odd team when it comes to positions this year me thinks.

Our starting lineup will be FVV and 4 clones, lol.

positionless basketball to the 9th degree

 

[djdev]

so it looks like beal might actually be staying with the wizards. good news for us and siakam if so(and we plan on trading him)

VanVleet
Trent
Anunoby
Siakam
Birch

Flynn
Watanabe
Barnes
Boucher
Achiuwa

Johnson/Dekker/Gillespie

Not sure what happens with Dragic, but thats essentially the current roster. Went from guard-heavy to PG’s + forwards.

Defense will be good but this group will struggle to score in the half court consistently.

dang, no FVV love? lol
honestly its crazy cuz we have like 3 players that can play 3+ positions.

edit: did you add freddy after? cuz i could have sworn i didnt see it before lol

 

[aingefan]

The teams looking deep and diverse already really, with plenty of upside still. And the off-season is just beginning.
Definitely room for another scorer on the wing, maybe pushing Trent to sixth man?
Hopefully the kids get a good chance to play and develop. Good bet, with this fo/coaching groups history.
Should be a fun team to watch.

I added Freddy Gillespie after, yeah. Could still get cut in camp, but barring another acquisition he’s a serviceable 3rd centre on a cheap deal.
