Do not give up on this team, I won’t allow it.

There!s a fine line between reality and fantasy.

I say we pull this trade in the offseason with the Hawks

Toronto out: Kyle Lowry, Norman Powell
Toronto in: Dennis Schroeder, Miles Plumlee

The Hawks can get a veteran PG to help with the young team gel together, I think Lowry would be a great mentor for the team while Norman Powell can possibly find his groove again in the game of basketball. As for the Raptors, we get a younger PG in Schroeder who would look great in Raptors uniform and his a Casey type of PG, a great defender PG, although we have to take the contract of Miles Plumlee to make it work, we can trade him or waive him later on the season.

Next
Toronto out: Serge Ibaka, Malachi Richardson, 2019 2nd round pick
Toronto in: resigned Derrick Favors, Thabo Sefolosha, 2018 1st round pick

We draft Moritz Wagner with the Jazz pick
We resign FVV to a two year deal
We sign Vince Carter to the vet minimum
We sign Amir Johnson to the vet minimum

Schroeder/FVV/LBrown
DeRozan/Delon/Thabo
OG/CJ Miles/Vince
Favors/Siakam/MWagner
Val/Poeltl/Amir

Tenforthewin has laser focus.

Tenforthewin is like a ninja. Appears, posts trade, vanishes without a trace.

I prefer the fantasy trades. This is how you turn Toronto into a 40 win team.

Kawhi is the guy we need to target... spurs seem hell bent on getting rid of him and this is the exact kind of player the Raps need.

Trade one of Kyle or Demar (preferably Demar), OG, Poeltl or Siakam (Preferably Poeltl) and picks for him.

He's really the only guy who could make a difference for the Raps next year... otherwise blow it up and rebuild!

Problem is no one is going to pick up Ibaka's deal and probably no one will pick up Powell's deal -- Masai got himself in a mess this offseason.

[Rudy Bargnani]

Gonna be tough convincing mlse to pay luxury tax with this kind of result. Need to put up a fight the rest of the series.

We don't know how to fight in the playoffs. We crumble at the sight of Lebron.

[Shredder]

Blow it up? Give Stackhouse a chance? Grin and Bare it for Barrett? Last nights game has my typical optimistic self pretty pessimistic.

If we could blow it up for Barrett it would be a fitting parallel to when we could have blown it up and started a rebuild the year of Wiggins.

I don't think incremental improvements like a change in coach are going to close the gap between us and the Warriors or next year's iterations of the Sixers/Celtics.

The only thing that could fix this would be the injection of someone like Paul George, but that clearly isn't happening with our paucity of assets.

well this thread should be getting interesting soon enough.
