OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[MyNameIsJonas]

Probably Europe. We hate centres unfortunately.

If we were interested and he wanted to ring chase and have a path to playing time, hard not to be excited about being behind Jakub Poeltl and CMB ( who they probably dont want to use at C all that much)

I recall a while back Stephen Silas being considered a top ass

He would do I guess. He fits our mold. More of a bouncy rim runner. Struggles with rebounding, but as a back up big to Jake, he brings a different look and can work with big or small lineups.

Yeah, its not flashy, but we need a C who can plug into what we do if Jake misses time or needs rest, and i really cringe at the idea of Nick Richards

Record with Poeltl: 26-20, .565
Record w/o Poeltl: 22-14, .611

Why use noisy wins when every net rating or on/off based statistic in existence tells us that he has a positive impact on winning when he's on the court? In minutes almost exclusively against other teams starting units as well.

I had assumed that in agreeing to this trade, both teams had heard the investigation was already done. Apparently not.

That is fucking hilarious. That in any circumstance the league would slap the Raptors with the punishment for the Clippers tampering and misconduct that the Raptors were the victims of.

I think the risk they're referring to is the potential of Kawhi having his contract voided and any potential suspension Kawhi would face.

The loss of picks, or other penalties would be on the Clippers.

Correct.

But this is absolutely absurd. They let him play the whole fucking season and still haven't completed their investigation? Can't they just keep dicking around for another three years and then suspend him when he retires?

Hilariously ironic that the monkey business that allowed him to leave TO with the max in his pocket did not prevent him from playing in LA this whole time but is delaying and potentially preventing him from coming back to the team.

Justice moves slowly. I blame the lawyers

Fair. Gotta work that file.
