Raps looked gassed last night. 3/4 ending in Denver is pretty diabolical scheduling.

Yeah i wasnt trying to imply my read was strictly off the Denver game, most teams arent winning that one

Nothing has really changed from what I believed to start the season. The Raptors are currently not good enough to get only 60 games from KL and have a comfortable playoff position. We don't have the talent and depth of that 2019 team. The East is competitive and likely only has 3 truly bad teams:
Bucks
Bulls
Nets
Now if we get some huge leap from Walter or CMB and swap Yak for something helpful then sure, but as things are constructed we really need him to be in the lineup.

Upgrading on RJ or IQ is an idea too, but Jak is easily the worst of the 3

Yeah, I'm definitely on the trade RJ and IQ for better fits train now. I'm hoping for Jake and RJ for Sabonis and a IQ three way that gets us Jrue.

I imagine the Sabonis issue of how many 1sts need to be added still needs to be resolved. IMO Jak has done nothing to move off being the negative asset he was. He might be healthy, but he looks old slow and immobile most of the time.
I have heard the Kings legit like RJ though and might want to extend him at something goofy

Yeah, I expect a 1st but Jake does have positive defensive impacts and comes with the benefit of needing zero shots which is a huge plus with Acuff being their guy now.
jakes contract is easy to stretch and get rid of, and the last year is only partially guaranteed so it's not as bad as we thought

Now that Walter has taken that next step, the upgrade from RJ and Jak to Sabonis would be worth it.
RJ is a legit starter, but his shot isnt getting better and shooting 60% from the FT line will not cut it for someone whose game it is to get to the line.
Raps still need a microwave of the bench. DeRozen would have been perfect.
