It's simple. The Raptors would never (and should never) be sending out Fred and a 1st unless they are getting a superstar back. Every GM in the league...

[DanH]

How? How do you make him sign a longer term deal? What mechanism are you utilizing?...

[DanH]

Sure!

Are we at all confident that Trent would accept such a deal? I would be shocked. The point of the short deal is to hit FA as quickly...

[DanH]

Problem with Gordon is as much as he might help the offence, his defence is a disaster. Will he even see the court under Nick? Or enough to truly elevate...

[DanH]

Plus they likely buy Dragic out after the deal anyway, which is a win-win-win for everyone, as Dragic probably gives back a little money, and is also...

[DanH]

I imagine that starts with just touching the ball. Turner gets the 7th most frontcourt touches of any Pacer per game (21.3), in spite of playing the 4th...

[DanH]

I think Gordon has next year locked in as well. But otherwise I agree. Not going to be high on their list of targets....

[DanH]

What AAV would you have paid to get more years?...

[DanH]

Hmm. Using Dec 8th as the break point (using Banton's minutes as a proxy, he played consistently 12+ MPG before then and then fell off a cliff after until...

[DanH]

I have no idea what the Pelicans front office is thinking, but if they are looking to sell pieces, a package of JV and NAW makes loads of sense from a...

Finally get a head to head with Koncept and he's got a 7 game advantage for the week. Argh. Oh, well, just going to have to beat him anyway.

[DanH]

Even that... I just am not that interested in Houston's stuff. Theis is not good, I'd rather have Birch even with the missed time. Gordon could be helpful...

[DanH]

Yeah but Wood is not good, Poeltl is....

Raptors net rating by quarter:

1Q: +0.6
2Q: -3.3
3Q: +6.3
4Q: -0.6

You are right about them turning it on...

[DanH]

If you wanted to get mad at anyone it's Gary for picking up a second tech right when we needed his shooting for crunch time. But also he was great this...

[DanH]

Yep this is why we lost. Dang it.

I thought that was a decent effort overall! We obviously miss Fred hugely and we battled back after our...

[DanH]

This is such an awful trade. Like, I get wanting to trade Fred, I guess (not really, but sure), but for THAT? And throwing in a first?...

[DanH]

Only a 67 game pace for Barnes. Shameful....

[DanH]

I don't think that excludes him from being the long term answer at C. Ideally you want floor spacing from your C, but if he's good enough at other stuff,...

[DanH]

I guess we disagree on Turner. I think they'd view him as a long term solution.

If they move forward and end up burying Precious he'll have...
