Raptors Discussion: v97 Raptor's 2024-2025 - Training camp begins Oct. 1

[Bjindaho]

If I were the Raps, I would talk to Bronny's camp about him potentially being the 2nd rounder and see what they think (and make a free agent offer to Lebron)

There's a chance that Bronny goes higher than that, but most of the NBA guys aren't that high on Bronny's upside.

Although I'd love LeBron on the Raps just because he's the biggest star in the league the last 20 years. I am not sure how open he and his son would be to Toronto. We don't have a lot of pieces to put around him to win, which still matters to him I'd assume. Would pressure the Raptors into further mortgaging the future for a year or 2 if your lucky of a 40 year old player. If he leaves LA, look at that state of that roster and they have all the resources and attraction in the league.

On paper Quickley, Barret, Barnes, LeBron, Poeltl could do some damage... but it's not likely his most appealing situation or even in the top 5 or 10.

My offer isn't come here and we'll acquire stars to play with you.

My offer is come here to a team that has a starting spot open for now and play for a team that will actually try to develop your son. Honestly, the Raps would be a power in the East with that one move, but this would be about having him around the other guys more than about bringing a star and thinking that one player magically makes the team the team to beat.

San Antonio would be my guess if he left. Just a suspicion.

Wiz win last night over the boys put the Pistons back in last overall, making their pick the first in the second round for the Raps.

Raptors sitting in 6th last, so a chance they keep their pick.

Next up, Pacers fall to 8th?

 

[Suntouchable13]

10 straight losses. Ah well, the season went off the rails pretty quickly. Too many injuries on a club that is already rebuilding, can we stop the season now? Please? I hate getting humiliated like this.

Weird how Porter and Quick are out for personal reasons but nobody knows what those reasons are. I guess we're not owed an explanation, but it looks strange. Are they quitting on the team and laying on a beach somewhere? Haha

Thanks amigo, I just heard about it.

 

[canucksfan]

Hopefully Quickly isn’t involved as well.

 

[al secord]

I don't think Fred was speaking in literal terms, Jontay.

This is the exact slippery slope I pretty much knew would happen in a matter of time with the barrage of gambling ads there are for sporting events, including those in game. This had me questioning the impact on the integrity of the game it would have, and lo and behold, and here we are. Not surprising in the least.

The leagues set themselves up for it, and in the end they may have screwed themselves over in doing so. I just think this is only the beginning...

More like the curtain is finally being pulled back...

I bet there are higher profile players who are involved in stuff like this but it's easier to make an example out of someone like Jontay

What an idiot. He probably could've had an NBA contract this off-season. Hope it was worth it, bud.

Lebron wants the bright lights.
Miami, NY, LA would be his only destinations IMO

Average NBA salary is 12 million. These guys don't bet against themselves and fake injuries on 1 or 2k bets. Seems like he is betting himself into a Euro Ball.

Now Agbaji is injured fml.

Gotta be the worst roster this team has put out in over a decade
