OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

IN: Ingram, CMB, Martin

OUT:

Boucher (50gms, 17.2min, +2.3bpm)
Mitchell (44gms, 24.5min, -4.3bpm)
Olynyk (24gms, 16.0min, +0.2bpm)
Brown (18gms, 18.6min, -2.5bpm)
 
I don't actually hate that. His nerdies jumped significantly after the trade to the Clippers, despite shooting the ball fucking tragically (46% ts, down from 56% with Brooklyn). He's really, really likely to be looking at a 1 yr show me type deal and I see the fit, even if it's not intuitive (why do we hate shooters...). There's a really good (but limited) role player in there, so as long as he's paid like one, I'm good with it. Especially considering the shape of our bench right now.

And he’d immediately be our best playmaker.

Our shooting is looking rough if we sign him tho.
 
i think you guys have your sights set all wrong with Simmons.

Simmons hasn't been an NBA starter for years.

21-22: did not play
22-23: 42gms, 26.3mpg, +0.4bpm
23-24: 15gms, 23.9mpg, +2.4bpm
24-25: 51gms, 22.0mpg, -0.5bpm (Plyf: 5gms, 8.4mpg, -2.9bpm)

If you sign him it's as a bench piece - and a just ok bench piece at that. Might be a fit at the right price though.

He’d be a decent backup C.

Oh, would I entirely expect him to be a rotation guy who can work with a bunch of different lineups. Can play point, point forward, small ball C

Friends with Barnes. He’d be a solid get for bench. Zaire Williams also not qualified.

I mentioned him as a trade target recently...would love to get him for free.
