One thing the Raptors have be aware of is their height. At the present time they are too short. Against many teams they seemed undersized. So when drafting and trading this has to be something they keep in mind. Example Kris Dunn at 6'3" no, no !
Because team 6’9 worked so well
You're right, the propaganda around 6'9" was just that but teams like Orlando and Minnesota are big boys who are hard to deal without a big front court. These teams seem to be the future of the league and the teams the Raptors will have to deal with. I am sure there are others but those teams came to mind first. Watching the Raptor little guys like IQ, Trent and Brown trying to jump up while these bigger guys shoot over them made me cringe ! The Raptors also need toughness, a few Raptors with a mean streak !
Agreed, i been skeptical of our team make up. I been saying we need a true PF for awhile now, not Scottie filling in. 1 IQ 2 RJ 3 Scottie 4 Real PF 5 Yak. If thats our line up we not small at all but GD seems to be too good to bench for years upon years too and GTJ seems to be allergic to coming off the bench. I am sure the team will look better in a year or two but Scottie at the 4 and Rj at the 3 leaves us too small IMO. Rj a massive two guard and Scottie massive 3 (muscle mass wise), should use that to our advantage
Althought Kris Dunn isn't small at all for a back up Pg. He is an absolute hound on defence
@@ScottieDPOYY That's why the Raptors could draft Tyler Smith at 19. He's basically Jabari Smith Jr. without the defense.
I feel like with all the elite bigs in the West, there is a team that might trade for Poetl this off-season as a serviceable backup C to bang with KAT, Joker, AD (good for 6 fouls a game)....like Phoenix or Memphis. If we can move him for a contract with less years, that would be great.
Shooting without defense is not good. Otherwise might as well get Matt Thomas back.
How do you think Obi is defending on a poor defending Pacers team?
Tyus wants to get paid and stay a starter in Washington. He even said so
No more small guards...we're small at pg already with IQ. No need for another. We need size
Tyus and Obi would both be great additions. I am big on Jalen Smith, but I'm a little perplexed about why he is getting so few (if any) minutes right now.
I LOVE Tyus Jones! He would be a perfect addition. We could run a two PG line up like we did with FVV and Klow.
FVV and Klow were both absolute menaces on the defensive end. Hard pass on Tyus and IQ sporting starter minutes together
Tyus Jones and IQ would be one of the worst defensive back courts in the league. Jones struggles to get to the rim, so I’d pass on him.
If were trading with the pacers again I'm checking in on the availability of Jarace walker would love to get him in our system
I would like T Jones and Jalen Smith. If we could move B Brown and Chris B money for those two I think we would be much better from a balance of the roster. You could play KO and JS together and swap PF and C depending on matchups.
Obi could be a good Pick up. But I am nit sure the Pacers will lose him so wishful thinking but probably wont happen. Tyus would not be the worst pickup as long as we are getting bigger elsewhere. How about impact defensive player should we not be focus on that being our team was not that great defensively?
This will be a perfect fit
This being what?
Been calling for Tyus since 2020
Ayeee
A lot is going to depend on what happens with that draft pick. Something tells me we are moving up to pick 4. God I hope I’m right. What an infusion of talent it would be to pick at 4 (even 6) / 19 and 31. I also believe that if there’s a player the raptors really like. They will try and move up from 19 to say 12-14. Kyle filipowski is a modern big. He’s basically a young Kelly olynik. He probably will never be an all star. But just a steady player that can do a bit of everything. I believe he will go between picks 10-16 And fits perfect with Scottie. But this is a deep draft for starter level players and 6th to 8th man. Even at 31 don’t be surprised if we get a good player. Maybe Ryan Dunn, Keyshawn George, ulrich chomche. Someone will be there at 31 for us
forget filipowski he is soft, and horrid defender like jordan nwora quality.
Oh how wrong you were
I would go after Obi & Fultz
Obi topping plays the same positions as jelly olynk. Yea you could run some line ups with them together but line ups will be very awkward with toppin Jakob and Kelly sharing minutes never mind if we draft a young Center.
Obi toppin has been one of the pacers best contributors especially in the playoffs if you’ve been watching their games. There’s games they would have lost without him. He’s also way better than Boucher that’s kinda insulting. The dude did a between the legs dunk on a fast break in a playoff game and shoots 40% from 3. Knicks miss this guy.
Pacers will have trouble retaining him because they’ll be flirting with first/second apron to retain him if he gets around 20mil which is pretty common for athletic stretch forwards.
for toronto to convince obi to come probably cost 25 mllion a year for ob to come to toronto. fultz you are looking at 35 million a year to play in toronto
I like ty
for raptors 25-27 milllion to play in toronto for tyus jones
Okoro can be a starter and likely will end up on a contract less then GTJr, more in the Olynyk range. He's a past top 5 pick who has been developing well and fits the timeline of BBQ, he can play the 3 or 4, plays D, and won't be a high volume shooter (which the Raptors are already going to have 2 or 3 guys starting who take a lot of shots). I liked Dunn but he's now over 30 yrs old, can't shoot, and has an injury history. Raptors should take another Dunn in the 2nd round of the draft, another D guy. Tyus Jones is going to get more $$ then he's actually worth and I hope it's not with the Raptors.
We getting nothing to help...should have started the rebuild 4 years ago
Our targets should be Jimmy Butler and Paul George. Not some useless bums.
Let's grab Christian Wood for 250k a year.
Tyus Jones is too good and going to be too expensive for our needs. I can see Dunn being a lot cheaper serviceable back up who is also one of the better defenders in the league compared to an almost 0 on defence in Tyus. I like Tyus, just not for our roster
Anybody is better than Flynn or Liberty. Could probably get Fultz on the cheap too in a pinch.
I like Liberty especially when he was given more minutes towards end of season.
@@baloux nice guy nice effort but he sucks at the NBA level. He should try overseas for more money than the g league
Liberty is a good rotation player and will be with the Raps for years to come
Raptors need a real coach
Bring back Sam Mitchell
Put the pipe down Ben,Tyus. Is another garbage bench piece. Raptors need guys in the line up,not benchies!
@benrogers free agents dont come to toronto., and to get a tyus jones or an obi toppin to come to toronto you would have to really overpay. nba players dont give toronto discounts, raptors have to overpay by 20-30 percent to get guys on the downside of their career to come. and by overpay, look how much they had to pay someone like a thad young who was washed to play 2 years in toronto, like 7 million a year. tyus and obi probably want to stay on winning teams and will get paid, so raptors looking at 20-25 milloin a year for tyus and obi?
Resign siakim sign iq and draft edey .sign og and screw the league, pay 50 million in luxury tax and run everyone out the league
😂😂😂
Not excited about any of these guys. The Raptors are a lottery team and adding a decent veteran role player doesn’t move the needle. They need to use their cap space to allow teams to salary dump and obtain draft picks, not make incremental improvements to a 25 win team.
Yea, but having no vets ans all young guys fails miserably everytime. You don't want the entire roster to be 22.. Dunn be perfect on the cheap. Other guys would cost way too much to bother
We need a PF, young Center, back up pg. If you can find a solid young PG, sure. I just don't think all those positions need to be filled by rookies type thing
@@ScottieDPOYY The entire roster isn’t 22. Kelly Olynyk is 33 and isn’t going anywhere. Garrett Temple has been a great vet to help the young players. But all spending money on mediocre free agents looks like is a race to mediocrity. And you may also want to ask Oklahoma about how a young teams works for them.
@@ScottieDPOYY The Raptors need to take some big swings, and grabbing low ceiling veterans isn’t going to help with that. When you win 25 games, your #1 priority should be adding young talent, not filling positional needs with veterans.
@@highdough2712 Agreed, minus Dunn. I talking a cheap back up PG who doesn't require multiple years. Having the guys grow in mediocrety vs dumpster fire is my only point. We would need to clean up some roster spots to make that viable though as we do need some big swings for sure. You don't want a team full of big swings either and we got 3 drafts incoming, thats your big swings. Honestly now that I considering how we have boucher, mcdaniels and such on the roster with GTJ and B Brown looming it won't work. Dunn though is exactly what we need in another sense. OKC is a massive outlier and to be honest I surprised you said that with a straight face lol. We going to ignore 75 years of history because of a team with MVP caliber guard leading the ship? Its on Masai to cook, fleece some people even for draft equity on some of our guys and get them on new teams or simply let them walk
