Before I start, not a tank or not tank thread, just purely hypothetical.
Let's say The Raptors make top 4 in The East, win their first round and lose in 6 to either the Heat or Pacers. Lowry believes this team can win and takes a pay cut to sign, and Masai signs the current bench we have now, maybe with an upgrade or two.
My question, if this were to happen, would this team be a playoff team next year when the Eastern Conference isn't historically bad. Is Lowry-DD-JV a good enough 'big 3' to win in this league with Ross and Amir being those glue guys in the starting lineup. Is Vasquez, psycho T, Salmons, Patterson and maybe that late 1st round pick who turns out to be a decent player (Kenneth Faried type) a good enough bench to relieve the starters.
How would Raptors faithful feel about having roughly the same team next year?
