Raptors Thread

[chrispalen]

I am ashamed to tell people Raptors is our NBA team. How can they go down hill so fast, to losing 14 games in a row. Something drastic must be done to turn this around. Cant keep losing like this and do nothing about it.
Cant understand why they got rid of Pascal Siacum, Ananoby etc.
I think the problem is Masai Ujeri. He is paid too much to deliver this poor result.
For $3.5 million a year, we should get much better results. Why not get rid of him and use the $3,5 million to hire better players.

Siakam was going to be a free agent at the end of this year. There was no indication he was going to re-sign with the Raptors. It was either trade him for something or lose him for nothing.

To be fair, they were missing 4 of their 5 starters, who are their 4 best players.

Raptors just lost to the Timberwolf’s, their 15th loss in a row. How many more losses will it take for someone high up to get fired.

3.5 million gets you a guy who sits at the end of the bench

The Raps have had notoriously bad karma when their players become free agents. They have developed some great players but they can’t keep them. Siakam, OG were going to bolt once they became free agents. To get something for them was management s only choice.
It’s also noted how impossible it is to get quality free agents to come north. The weather sucks and so does the way CRA fucks with their income.
Tanking was their best bet, rip off the bandage. Grab as many quality draft choices as possible.

Next year will not be any better but at least we have the draft. Four years of pain.

Also, Darko is no ones first choice for coach. He’s a placeholder for a shit team. When the raps get stronger we will need a championship coach.

I’m convinced Grady Dick was drafted for the chuckles like “Bigus dikus” or Gluteus Maximus.
The kid is a defensive liability, but everyone loves to say his name.

Finally, the tide is starting to turn. Raptors just beat the Bucks 117. vs 111. Keep this up. Just can’t keep losing. We the North.

With 5 games left, it’s critical we stay bottom 6 in standings to keep our 1st draft choice from going to San Antonio. I would love to see Zach Edey in a Raptor uniform

Tide continues to turn. Raptors beat the Wizards. Well done. Beats losing all the time.
