OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[GEEMAN]

Really concerned that we're going to do the same thing to this starting 5 that we did to our last good starting unit and run a bad bench behind them unless a bunch of kids all take pretty big steps forward.

Here's the bench as of right now in order of EPM

Rhoden: -0.7 (10 games)
Ja'kobe: -1.1
Shead: -1.6
Okai: -1.7
Gravy: -2.8
Castleton: -2.9 (11 games)
Mogbo: -3.2
and then 4 rookies

We're pretty much praying for multiple young guys to take steps forward and for CMB to be NBA ready for a role immediately just to have a bad NBA bench.

Without any changes this was expected

I have no doubt Pelley can do Shany’s job, but Maasai?

This is an unnecessary fuck up.

#torontosports. At least the Raps got a chip in 2019

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

This is ridiculous.

 

[zeke]

[GEEMAN]

This is ridiculous.

Teddy never liked him , Tannenbaum gave him all the power

Meh

I'm okay with moving on from Ujiri if that's the direction the organization wanted to go in. If so, give the new guy a full offseason to get his ducks in a row.

but this timing? that's just ridiculous and makes it look like the org is run by children

So they just cheaped out.

 

[zeke]

No more Giannis

 

[leafman101]

Also why do the Raps need a president but not the Leafs?

 

[MindzEye]

Nepo babies really and truly are the fucking worst.

I've not loved a bunch of Masai's moves and philosophies since the title, but I trust him infinitely more than I trust nepo baby Rogers to pick lead sports executives.

 

[Aberdeen]

I always wondered what the dynamics would have between Masai and our GM. Maybe some more autonomy is a good thing.
