To me he's a clear outside star. Without him they don't win it all, he was desperately needed.
He came to Milwaukee in his 12th season and they won that year. He put up 20 pts, 5 reb, 7 ast the few seasons before that. That's a star level player to me.
He was really the final piece.

Does Jrue count as an 'outside star?'
Great player. He's obviously not a superstar though. I'd say Milwaukee have a pretty good claim for 'ground up.'
He was definitely the piece that got them over the hump though.
Hopefully Barnes will be the main piece to other complimentary pieces in the future, which will also lead to actual superstars choosing willingly to sign with the Raptors but I'm not holding my breath (although there is something to be said about OPJ signing in Toronto for a bargain price after winning a championship as the 8th guy. One step at time is also a positive step).

If the Raps' current iteration pulled it off as is now or in a few years, we'd be the first fully home grown in a good while.

Well, I'm thinking more of a SG type.
Like a Seth Curry, or Joe Harris.
We need another one to relieve Gary, unless Fred becomes a full time SG

I mean he signed with Kyrie and eventually traded for Harden. That was a championship team.
Kyrie is a nut case and Harden left because of it and now all the turmoil now because of it as well.
But it would be in his mind that he would be moving to a team without FVV and GTJr for instance that he could have signed to play with and also been an Eastern conference favorite

Whether its forcing out via trade or having the Raptors as one of their preferred destinations in free agency.
The better Scottie gets, the easier it will be too. In 1 season, he has embraced Toronto and the Raptors.Last edited by A.I; Wed Jul 20, 2022, 08:58 AM.

There have been more Canadian stars and higher quality players recently, so I feel like its bound to happen at some point.
