to be fair ...... tim duncan did
Btw, Siakam is nowhere near as good as Barkley, Malone and KG. Those 3 are the elites of the elites. And they couldn't lead their team to a championship as "the man".Last edited by The Great One; Mon Sep 14, 2020, 02:09 PM.Mamba Mentality

The bench got us to where we were then they were abandoned. What a slap in the face. They lifted the starters out of the mud countless times this season they were a shot in the arm this team needed. Unfortunately starters dug themselves in one too many holes we couldnt get out of against a quality opponent. I never saw a guy draw as much attention as thomas did all season long with the exception of maybe lowry. Those 4 minutes he was on were great then nailed to the bench made no sense at all.
If Boucher goes Im super pissed

Theis was impressive. Never had a chance to watch him this closely before, but he is more than just deceptively athletic. Quite mobile and quicker off his feet than Iblocka.

I agree with this philosophy, wings win games
now. You basically need a bunch of guy that have the ability to create their own shot. Spending a bunch of money on a guy can’t do that is counterproductive.
Raps get back OG and Pascal. They like Fred for a lot of reasons and I am very confident he comes back. Thats the current core.
Kyle has another 2 years in him. One paid and one in the look see season of Giannas UFA.
Serge is good and would fit but the window for him here might be over in succession planning. To go along with Pascal and OG you need a younger player in the 23-25 age range. Again who that is ... is up in the air.
Norm stays as it would be very hard to find a better player for 11M.
The game has become to fast for Marc. Love him. We don't win it without him. But its time.
MIP Brandon Ingram who is an RFA is theoretically on the market. You would have to max him and see if NO has the pockets to match.
Which leaves you to look to find a guy that can get his own shot like we saw Brown and especially Tatum do. Bostons points came much easier than ours did. As you say... we didn't have a guy that could get his own shot. So maybe we could buy one ...
MIP Brandon Ingram who is an RFA is theoretically on the market. You would have to max him and see if NO has the pockets to match. Gail Benson is older and with both her sports properties having expenses business as usual but revenue much less than usual... She might hesitate. For a deal that size David Griffin has to have the owners OK. That would seriously enhance the half court offense which seems to be whats you play in the playoffs.
Serious longshot...

There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

I mean, I can see why you would want to frame it that way and that’s your prerogative. But as poorly as the game 7 results went, I don’t think swapping Serge and Marc changes a thing.
Powell was a disaster in this series, more so than FVV. He hit some shots in a few games but gave back most of that on the other end. If he was being handed the ball to create offence the same way Fred was you’d be even worse off, as the offence would die along with the defence.
You can argue that if they did things differently, they win game 7. Certainly possible. And I can’t disprove it. But I would counter that without Gasol starting, they lose games 3 and 4 and 6 ( if they got there). Again, I can’t prove it. So assign me the L if you like. I don’t much care. I just wanted the Raps to win, and they didn’t, so I don’t have any stakes in the discussion at this point. Mostly I was just mad Gasol and FVV played (offence) poorly enough for it to be a discussion, because as ever if the Raptors were going to have to rely on Serge or Powell down the stretch it was going to end poorly.
DanH doesn't actually watch games (or is a closet Celtics fan) confirmed.

If I were ATL or even phoenix ... i'd consider going for him
