Age, defensive flaws, limited/very specialized skill set, and other teams willing to pay him well.
It's never too early to discuss Raptors 2019-2020

When will Serge Iblocka be ready to play? He and Kawhi became fast friends, it did hurt him when he left.
But it hasn't slowed him down...this is the best bacon and eggs you'll ever eat. This Charlemagne is a pussy.

Slow your roll.
But, it is fun watching the team this year, still playing very good ball without KL2.
...or Surge or 3time champ McCaw and now, auto3 Ice Thomas or........ I'd thunk they'd be good but I doubt any of us, being solid apologetic Canadians, thunk they'd be this well adjusted so early. Core from last year has instilled a base and direction that's just amazing. Nicky Nurse has shown he can coach. Regardless, it truly has been an enjoyable trip again! Regardless, no matter what transpires rest of way, let's go Raptors!
ps josh Richardson "ball don't lie" everrrrrr!! :applouse:.......and whoever here thinks Marc Gasol doesn't contribute or is "not measuring up" I'm here to let you know I disagree fully, adamantly and wholeheartedly FYI :yo:
I know it was only the Knicks, but another impressive win last night, They're getting scoring from everywhere. Again, it's not that they won, it's the fact they completely man handled them. It's safe to say at this point, this team isn't lucky or just went on some hot streak. This team is very deep, and have crazy hustle. Siakam is officially one of the best players in the League. Once we get anther star back to compliment him, look out. Too bad Greek Freak isn't an FA at the end of this year.
I was following it on the internet for the first quarter when they ended up 10 points down. They were missing a lot of threes.
I saw the final score but was left wondering what changed?
They got super hot from 3. especially Siakam. Chris B is killing it on the boards.
Not a fucking chance. They traded him for a reason. Why would they bring him back at that price tag??
That was not a great offensive performance from the Raps. Powell was friggin awesome, hope we see a few more games like that from him and he gets to do it on a somewhat regular basis. OG looked like he went to the Gasol school of shooting last night!
Once Ibaka returns Gasol will be less of a liability as his playing time will drop as Ibaka and Boucher get minutes. Gasol, in spite of his lack of scoring, still plays a very good defensive game and can distribute the ball very well. 15-20 minutes a night may breathe new life into him.
Put up or shaddup week of ball ahead. 2 more to finish this 10 game cycle and we're nicely at 7-1 through this stretch. Utah and the resurgent Heat to end this stretch. Tough finish but it'll be good to get the competition level up. Then Mr. 60 and Russ visit and then can Marc make Joel disappear again to kick off the third 10 game cycle that includes Klaw's return and 2 BtB's. December will be important for this year cuz it's setting up to be training camp part deaux with all hands returning within the week and everyone has to coexist again in their new roles. Extra hands always is good as spicy and FVV need to get time off if possible. Tonight will be a good start for some solid balling for December! Let's go Raptors..:applouse:
Another blow out win for the Raps. Amazing. Not just a win, a blow out. I'm stunned about what this team is doing.
Stuff like this is why ESPN is losing money and had major layoffs."The Raptors' stifling defense gives them a legitimate chance to defend their Eastern Conference title despite the departure of Kawhi Leonard" says Andre Snellings of ESPN. Still, ESPN ranks Celtics (#5) ahead of the Raptors (#7) in their power rankings
ESPN and FoxSports are taking a beating from Barstool Sports. And you have to give them credit, they have more hockey coverage than the other two combined. I've listened to the programming on Sirius/XM Channel 85, sometimes I don't get it but I'm not a millennial.
