2020 End of Season / Playoffs

[007]

Man I thought MPJ was scared of important shots

[S.R.]

Ha, Zubac and Morris taking eog shots while Kawhi and PG don't touch the ball, standing on the perimeter

[bertarapsfan]

Man I thought MPJ was scared of important shots

He literally said jokoc and murray should give him the ball more after game 5 lol. At least he hit the big shot

[Gonzz]

Denver getting back in the series. Need one more win to make it interesting.

[Demographic Shift]

Classic Marcus Morris dumbass play as he takes a tech trying to be a tough guy with Paul Milsap late in the 2nd Q.
Milsap went for 14 in the 3rd and turned it around for Denver.

What a mook.

[TrueTorontoFan]

We have Lowry under contract for next year. And would have his Bird rights if Giannis wanted to come here, or any other free agent for that matter.

true but again i just don't see us signing lowry for a huge amount.

[TrueTorontoFan]

Siakam now needs to get back into the lab and get better... I agree he is around two years away from where he needs to be.. he will be much closer to an all nba player next year. he will get all defence next year but yeah....

I also think we should go for oladipo.

[GOLDBLUM]

true but again i just don't see us signing lowry for a huge amount.

I was wrong about this fyi. DanH to the rescue. We'd have to renounce his cap hold after next year apparently to go above the cap?

I don't know. Ask Dan lol

[planetmars]

So first order of business now that our season is officially over... get Masai and Nurse extensions please!

Unfortunately this will be last time we see this group together..
I'm gonna go through the list of players..who will be back and who wont..
Kyle Lowry..traded,while the iron is hot,his trade value is through the roof,do I want Kyle 2 stay,of course,but his getting up there,age wise and time 2 move on,go 2 contender,yes raps won't be contending,this will be transition year,sorry..hate saying it.
Kyle moved, Fred VanVleet stays as future pg of raps,can't keep both at the money they demand and Freddy will get paid,if you think he won't than open your eyes,you don't loose these kind of players,your gonna have 2 overpay,25 million,minimum.
Marc Gasol gone..unless he takes veteran minimum,not happening.
Serge Ibaka..this is toss up,if he takes one year,maybe he stays,just bc teams will be strap for cap cash,so raps probably give him one year at low 20 million.
Norman Powell stay,signed..great contract...talk about steal,wow.
Patric McCaw one year left,stay..unless Masai through him in a trade,money trade in and out.
Stanley Johnson player option,he would be dumb not 2 pick it up,but u never know,another guy 2 through in trade,if he picks up his option.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is free agent,not coming back,gone.
Pascal Siakam signed long term contract,not going anywhere,he had poor bubble playoff,his a good 2nd option on championship team,definitely keeper.
OG Anunoby very bullish on this kid,he is special,if given the chance,ceiling is so high for this kid,if they let him.Restricted free agent,raps might just give him Qualifying,but eventually..a must long term sign,don't wait,sign him.
Chris Boucher..this scares me,someone is overpay for him and were gonna loose him,I hope he stay,hopefully nba is dumb enough and forget about him,but I would sign him,but don't go over board,good kid,good talent,Masai will try 2 keep him,will c.
Malcolm Miller gone. Journeyman..pass.
Dewan Hernadez might get traded,contract through in,his signed for another few years.
Matt Thomas..bargain contract,another 3 years,I believe..peanuts money.He stays,3pt specialist.
Terence Davis..one more year left,another great talent,could have break out year next year,I definitely try 2 sign him before he becomes a really good player for this franchise,he stays.
Oshae Brissett probably gone,it all depends on Coach Nurse.

Coach Nick Nurse Extension..must..5 years, I don't care how much,it doesn't go against the cap,give the man the money.
Masai Ujiri Extension..must..whatever it takes,if it means giving the guy MLSE seat or give him percentage of MLSE shareholding ..I don't care,just make sure his happy and accommodating with his family.

Saw this on one of the 76ers sites, Its not bad (Dont thing GS will agree to this but it's a start):
PHILADELPHIA RECEIVES

Kyle Lowry (PG)


TORONTO RECEIVES

Golden State’s 2020 first-round pick, Andrew Wiggins (SF), Kevon Looney (PF/C)


GOLDEN STATE RECEIVES

Al Horford (C), Furkan Korkmaz (SF), Terence Davis (SG), Philadelphia’s first-round pick (via OKC)

I am hoping they move on from Fred if he’s greater than 18M, which someone will offer him more. IMO paying him anything more sets back the franchise. Paying top dollar for middling players got us into trouble in the past.

Fred is a good player and great guy, but Pg one of the deepest positions in the NBA. A sign in trade would be beneficial but doubtful we’ll get one.

I think we should be hunting wings. Spend less on the 5 as well.
