This was a tough loss.. Looked to be in control but perhaps one is never in control when Jokic is on the floor.

Didn't get to see much with Leafs/football and baseball on

I watched the second half of the raptors/nuggets game because I stopped watching the leafs/jets game after the leafs took a 4-0 lead early in the 2nd period. I was like the leafs are good tonight, they will win for sure lol, finally they managed to hold off a late jets comeback rally and still won 6-4.

Now I’m Watching the last three innings of game 3 of the World Series

My team played yesterday, so no Monday night football game (giants vs Steelers) for me tonight

Man we don’t have talent at all, we need that one guy who is the main scorer. I thought Scottie would become one but I think he is what he is, a mediocre talent that fill out the team not a guy to build a team around.

Scottie is likely not the guy to take the team to a championship without some huge pieces around him but he is far from mediocre. He could flirt with a triple double most nights, now that's as "the guy"... you could argue Chris Bosh was similar in a sense. Depending on the roster around him, he's a top 2-3 player on a championship contender when he finishes developing. That's nothing to sneeze at.

That’s what I’m saying, he will need Lebron type to win. We just can’t win building around him, we need a superstar who can score at will for most of the nights and you build around him not around Scottie types.

So what do you do with Scottie? Trade him for picks and hope for lottery luck? If the team that draft picks your aquiring are even in the lottery. I don't see why you wouldnt currently be building around him, that doesn't mean he is the centerpiece in 3,4,5 years.

You need good players, a solid foundation, coaching, development and luck. The Raps got lucky when Kahwi was available, perfect storm for one season. Having guys like Siakim around made it possible after they made the move. Scottie has the potential to be much better than Siakim. You need to still develop players and a culture or no one will want to be a Raptor anyways. Scottie is the Raptors best player until the next guy comes around and pushes the ceiling.
