    The Raptors also played really well in the regular season without Kawhi. I could see them battling for a top seed.
    In fairness Danny Green had a fair bit to do with that success. Losing him too hurts our defense, our shooting, spacing, depth etc.

    I hope you’re right though!

        Siakam’s back up then. I don’t think he’s a SF based on what I’ve seen. So Johnson and him at the forward spots off the bench. OG will get his chance. Hopefully this Thomas guy can shoot.

          Wow, some seriously athletic forwards to fortify this roster. I’m expecting a fair amount of smallball - with Stan and RHJ at the 4 - where their limited perimeter skill sets won’t be so limiting.

            RHJ has to play the 4. He struggles defending quick wings but he is very good guarding PFs. The Nets even ran him at Center from time to time. It’s a solid get.

              Johnson and RHJ played together at Arizona.

              Masai all in on strong athletic wings with questionable shots, I love it.
              Kind of been his thing for years now. Raps believe they can teach shooting. That's why they looks for length, defensive minded and high motors in players. Guys like Wright, Norm, Yak and OG all fit that mold. Same goes with the two rookies this year in Davis and Hernandez.

                I really think it's different battling like crazy because you're superstar is on the shelf (or in this case load management). It happens all the time.

                Much different when you don't even have a superstar and there's no collective will to battle and hold the fort until your leader returns.
                Raps aren't battling for a top seed .....

                      Absolutely. Let's hope so.
                      But Boston has something to prove, Pacers have something to prove, Sixers sure have something to prove, Bucks definitely have something to prove....

                        So did the Raps get him for the minimum? Basketball insiders seems to indicate that he got $1.6M (although it's marked as "estimated"). If that's true that's pretty awesome.

                          Probably a guess on their part for now.

                            Are we markedly worse than when we were battling for a top seed with DeMar? Maybe the East is stronger now, but there's a pretty strong case we're also better.

                              It shall be interesting to see if they can retain what is probably the biggest attribute gift Kawhi gave the team .... calmness and confidence. If they do I think the Raps will be in the mix at season's end. Nurse is a positive guy too so that is good.

                                Wow, averaged 14/7/2.5 on a decent Nets team in 2017/18. Doesn’t turn 25 until the new year.

                                i really like the versatility that him and Stanley bring. Allows us to go small and fast or big and defensive. Looking pretty new-school at the 4 now after being a bit shallow there last season (with OG’s struggles).
