Casey has to be fired. What you do with the remaining pieces depends on what's available.
I doubt we move DeMar, but it's possible. Jonas is far more likely to be moved.
Probably see a core of Kyle, Demar, Ibaka next year with a new coach.

We've never seen these guys in an offensive system that isn't caveman levels of primitive.

The league is far too quick for his cinderblock feet, not sure how you've missed it but he has awful lateral quickness. 10+ years ago this wouldn't have been a bad idea but now it's an atrocious one.
I'm not saying that should we lose (which is incredibly likely imo) that trading DeMar would be a bad idea because knowing Masai we might be able to get a helluva haul for him so personally I would kinda hope that we would do it BUT find it incredibly unlikely with all the marketing dollars they've put into selling the public the idea of DD being the first "life long" Raptor and how WE made a big deal about his loyalty etc. I personally don't see it.
I think we would do the usual treading of water, let Lowry walk, bring back possibly Ibaka and "retool" while allowing DeMar's offensive numbers to explode more where he might be able to become the leading scorer in the league (as unbelievable as that may sound look at his numbers with Kyle out). Then at that point MAYBE we try to sell at an all time high for his value because our franchise would be some 5-8th seed and he would suddenly be viewed as a "superstar" because of his ppg which means we cash in. BUT I find it more likely we try to build AROUND him as Masai sells our fanbase on him reaching superstar level. Some underwhelming times are ahead because I don't see us ever committing to a true rebuild.

Deserved, if true. But wouldn't there be more than 35 all-NBA voters? Usually there's like 130. Seems like a partial list, if true at all.
