OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

On the Claxton trade, I'm not sure I understand it... What did the Bulls give up for Claxton?

Seems like a good deal though, yeah.
 
It sounds like

To Nets- 28 and Randle
To Wolves- 33, Mo Gueye
To Bulls- Claxton

Seems like Nets get to move up 5 slots to take on Randle
Bulls surrender whoever Gueye is to get Claxton
Wolves move down to dump Randle and pay Donumsu 5/120

They did the same thing with Kevin Durant a few years ago. I don't think it will be a problem for Stevens to clear up.

I guess if anyone can be trusted to handle it it's Stevens.

Im still not sure how were not a play in team without a big upgrade

Miami if healthy is probably better, Indiana should be and i think i like Charlotte's guys to improve more internally than ours.
 
Eh I think Scottie is a better bet to improve than anyone on Charlotte. Playoff Scottie was a whole other animal and if he becomes more consistent in bringing that the east is in a bit of danger.

For the rest though I'm not even trying to decipher shit until we see what shakes loose over the next few weeks

I mean yeah, i just want to see them add though, not just run it back.

And yes Scottie is better than Kon/Ball/Miller, but all of those three are better than CMB/Shead/Dick.

I like what Charlotte is doing alot.
 
I think you're underestimating CMB and 2nd half Jakobe here. Because I very much would put the expected improvement of Scottie-CMB-Walter up against Charlotte's group.

But yes, id like to see us turn out inefficient salary (Ingram) into a higher impact player.

Even if its just seconds to get better bench guys that can shoot.

Its kind of bad that we need to play Battle ( who is terrible at anything but shooting) because our dudes are so inept sometimes.

I'dve like to have been in on Aaron Wiggins, or Isaiah Joe, and ive heard Tim Hardaway Jr could be an FA option for us, but i dont know if we can afford it.

Also, if they are talking trade for a big, i expect us to draft Carr/Anderson/Philon/Stirtz/Okorie.....or just take Graves, cause Raptors

We only had to play battle because 2 of our starters were hurt.

Oh, Portland will go ham to get Brown. I like Brown to a degree, but he's always had more reputation value than analytic value. He was 88th percentile in crafted BPM last year (lower than IQ). His shooting efficiency and bad D keeps him from being the super max player he's paid as being.

Which is fine, give me a flawed star player (96th percentile offensive player last season) and let's go....but I'm not paying what other teams would pay for him. There's already talk of Portland and a few others throwing big packages at Boston for him.

Portland is probably the front runner, but i can see Utah wanting to pair him with 2, JJJ, and Mark
