If he can maintain the scoring when Lowry is back, he should be in the conversation....

[DanH]

Or just let Pascal play PG and put RHJ in TD's place. Personally not a fan but might as well take the idea to its extreme!...

[DanH]

If you are looking for all defence, you are better off with Marc out there than Serge. And if you want to go switchy small, you slide Pascal to the 5,...

[DanH]

That three man lineup of RHJ, Boucher and Davis has played 65 minutes to a +21 net rating. Sounds like a keeper. Will be interesting to see if they can...

[DanH]

Well, it's not so stark as all that.

First off, getting guys in the 2nd round is no better than undrafted. Exact same contract options. Slightly...

[DanH]

His team defence is good enough to be a bench contributor.

Davis is perfectly capable of playing off ball....

[DanH]

Thomas can't defend well enough to be an every night starter. Powell's not great but Thomas isn't the potential replacement, Davis is. Thomas is a pure...

[DanH]

Keep in mind tankathon just takes teams' records at face value for strength of schedule. BBall-ref uses net ratings, at least. But in both cases we are...

[DanH]

Boston has had the 3rd easiest schedule in the league thus far. Raps 11th hardest. Bucks the hardest.

Raps are currently 3rd in the league...

[DanH]

Oh, god, it's going to be even more painful having to watch McCaw be terrible all over the court knowing we have this depth that should be playing in...

[DanH]

Sorry, couldn't hear you, can you speak up a little?...

[DanH]

What's funny is we probably start with OG on Doncic, and then when OG subs out we go to RHJ. Going to be a tough night for Doncic.

Meanwhile,...

[DanH]

LOL nope!

[DanH]

Well obviously if FVV walks they'd try to keep Lowry, unless they went hunting for a big name PG in free agency in 2021 (assuming the Giannis gambit fails,...

[DanH]

If the deal is on the order of 20M, sure. I don't know that we can be confident in that. Free agent markets can be hard to predict at the best of tim...

[DanH]

Well, would you give Fred the max? If not, there is a line somewhere where you wouldn't sign him.

The upside is we have his Bird Rights....

[DanH]

Well, he's UFA, not RFA, which muddies the market a bit. He's also a free agent in a summer where there are very few other free agents, and extensions...

[DanH]

Sadly this was always the conundrum. The Raptors should hesitate to give him 15M+ if he doesn't prove he can be a scorer. But if he proves he's a scorer,...

[DanH]

Yeah I have specific complaints about offensive usage and overall workload on some players, but the defensive performance of the team has been awesome,...

[DanH]

And obviously its awesome that OG might only miss one game, besides the Clipper game he barely played in. Really need him with Lowry out - the offence...
