I think ibaka is just fine on the team nothing wrong with him at all. He did his job. He is a very SOLID all around player. I think he will be a bit better but not be way way better.

Agreed. I want him back no question, and I think if we play him the 5 our defence will improve a lot. At this point in his career I think he's better there. Our rebounding will probably be bad but we will just have to make a concerted effort to have everyone go to the glass for rebounds.TrueTorontoFan wrote: View PostI relish negativity and disappointment.

Some early rumor rumblings suggest Ibaka will re-sign and JV will be on the trade block. In this scenario would y'all be willing to trade JV & and CJo for A.Drummond? If we're keeping this core together I'd go all in making the paint as athletic as possible.Comment

Drummond is worse than JV offensively and overrated defensively. I want no part of his max salary.Deems wrote: View PostComment

Let's not kid ourselves thinking JV was a big part of the offense anyways, post-men are a dying breed. I see him as a DeAndre type of offensive player. Defensively he has all the physical tools, maybe a change of scenery to a more professional environment would help his defensive lapses. Just a thought, because I don't see who else we could trade JV for.Ball wrote: View PostComment

Yea it's gonna be hard getting equal value for JV, that's one of the reasons Dan H doesn't want to trade him I believeDeems wrote: View PostI relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.Comment

If we get Drummond, keep in mind it is to improve our rebounding. He is not measurably better defensively (and is just as bad if not worse in the PnR) or offensively than JV, and makes like 50% more money.
Literally every other suggestion on how to move away from JV is because the team wants more shooting and better defence. Drummond gets us neither, at a hefty price.Comment

Shit if we had Draymond beside Ibaka with a healthy Lowry... we'd be 1 giant step closer to beating the Cavs.Abbas wrote: View PostComment

Draymond is really unlikeable as a character but no one can deny his impact on the court....
what a fascinating player he is...
wish quincy acy developed like himComment

In that Patrick misses all his shots and disappears? Please elaborate.TrueTorontoFan wrote: View Post
Last summer I really thought -- Patrick just has to watch Draymond Green tapes non-fucking-stop. I feel like I've seen stretches (long, long ago now) when I've felt like he could be capable of doing pretty much everything Draymond does. He "can" shoot the three, he can be a huge plus on defence, he "can" move the ball, They share a similar size and frame. And I've seen many times when Patrick looks super riled-up and that he can play with fire, nobody quite plays like Draymond in that regard, but he's shown passion in the past. Meanwhile, Patrick has turned into an utter pussy-cat. What happened dude? Did he adopt the polite-Canadian persona too whole-heartedly??
Anyway, I ask you to elaborate not to be challenging. I was always just really hopeful that he could develop into that for us. ...That hope has died.
And apologies to continue this conversation in what is the Ibaka thread. I just want a power forward who can bring what Draymond brings. Is that sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much to ask?
..........
Yes.
Yes it is.Comment
