It's early but I think it's fair to say the guys signed long term all look to be on potentially team friendly deals. Raptors have Poeltl, Barrett, and Quickley signed at 80 million. Dick and Agbaji at rookie deals for 2 years still. With some lottery luck, a very good value deal moving Brown and maybe some other salary on the roster for a big upgrade... all of a sudden...
I know big time dreaming, but it's an optimistic future and cap structure I think with guys ages and prime years coming.

That was a solid game. Turnovers an issue at times. Ochai from the corner continues to be excellent. Temple provided a nice spark. RJ excellent again outside a few dumb turnovers. Battle can really shoot the 3’s.
A high draft pick is valuable but so is winning once in a while.

I was thinking that as well. Trade him for a younger big?

I think he's more valuable to keep than trade unless you get an absolute haul. Didn't like the trade originally but his contract is great value, he plays a simple game, low maintenance leadership at a 19.5.
The team isn't doing much this year but they are at least fun to watch and are in games. Minus Poeltl from the team and they get caved in alot more easily and the games get sloppy going forward.. not good for development IMO.
Move Brown, Boucher, Olynyk, Fernando if you need to.. although not a ton of value in those guys, and front office may want to keep the Canadian guys around.

Couple of things go our way, we could have been 3-0 for these 3 monster games Jak just had. He has been great.
Chomche had a solid game in the G league. He's so intriguing.

Great to see Scottie starting to get some work in but oh man that eye looks awful.
I dunno. You just HAVE to draft a guy named Ace Bailey, doncha?
Pretty sure he’ll be a top 3 pick, and potential star so I definitely would. And it IS a great name.

If we get another high draft pick in 2025, you guys don't think this team is a playoff team in 25-26? I think they are. This rebuild can be over pretty quick.
I think so too. There are a number of pieces here that will only get better. I think Poeltl has to stay though as there is not enough in Olynyk and Fernando down the middle.
Solid win. Effort is there like most nights. Scottie had a good game coming back. RJ excellent again.
Mitchell is a lot better off the bench. Gradey has been struggling recently.

This is a big point. Players could have easily hung their heads but they have played hard majority of the time. Darko’s tactical approach needs work but the players play hard and they have taken some big leaps forward with development.
Looks like Brown is ready to go soon. I watched some of the 905 game last night and Shead and Walter looked good. WIth guys coming back, having players gets games in the 905 will be a benefit. I thought Shead's game had declined since the start of the season.

Doing some work and have the 905 game on in the background, Chomche has some really nice tools. He's so good at guarding the hoop.
