Problem with GTJ is his highs are VERY high but the lows are downright atrocious. When his shot doesn't fall he is a negative on the floor. At least Gradey seems to have a good eye and makes decent passes. I'd definitely prefer to see way more Gradey than GTJ next season even if Gary is back.
The expression make hay, is short for make hay when the sun shines. It refers to cutting the hay when the sun is shining because it is best cut and bailed dry or else it goes mouldy. It means that you should do something that needs to be done when you have the opportunity.
The podcast volume is super low on Spotify
Can you guys get a podcast version on CZcams Music. Thank you.
Something you didn't mention in soccer is that the club is buying the player but players have the choice to accept or not the transfer, you need an agreement between the buyer the seller and the player that's a huge different for me compared to American Sports. There is more dialogue between players/agents and their clubs about staying leaving accepting offers.
Is there any news on scottie and team usa? Wasn't he on all the U-xx teams growing up? Would have been interesting to see him on the Select team and great experience
I actually would’ve taken the 9th pick for potel and taken edey with that pick only bc edey has huge potential and I’m willing to bank on it. It also keeps our core young
Please sell a T shirt of young will flexing 30 dollars next to the tree
If you swear, is the pod in danger of not being funded in the future? Oh well, goddammit boys, swear!
9 minutes in we get some raptors talk
These two are insufferable.
It's off season.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if the Raps pull an Orlando Magic type jump either this year or next year. Looking at those two teams, I don't see much of a difference in terms of talent. Paolo is great, but Scottie is around his level too I think. I just think the Magic are deeper, but with the rookies the Raps got, I think their depth can be just as good soon too. Need to move Bruce & Chris first though. They're probably the guys gone at trade deadline.
Also "Glizzy gone" gave me war flashbacks 🤣🤣🤣
Scottie is a much better 2 way player than Poalo. Paolo is a volume scorer & below average defender. Stop making his score first mentality & U.S media hype get to you.
@@mollyweir9350 Oh I personally think Scottie will have a better career than Paolo. Full healthy, Scottie has more to offer. But let's not diminish what's he's done with Orlando too. He's certainly better than Franz who also got a max lol. If the standings were flipped by All-star time, I'm confident Scottie would've taken his spot.
@@l82classproductions8 I didn't diminish anything. They had the previous season where they built chemistry & had guys who both into Mosley's defensive schemes which helped them to win gms. There offense was all Paolo and sometime Franz which was very obvious in the playoffs. Paolo took at least 25 fgas/ gm and both he & Franz usage rate was higher than Scottie's.
Look at the contracts that are going out in free agency.. Klay got like 15 mil a year, derreck jones jr got 10, Hield 9mil, Oubre 8 mil, Gary harris 7 mil. The market is probably about 8 mil a year right now for Gary. . At this point If gary is holding out for a bigger deal I dont see it coming. Personally Im just letting gary go because Id rather other players get the minutes, like Grady and Walter who both will be better players than Gary.
Bobby Webster said at the presser today in an intereview maybe theyd be talking in Vegas. To me thats suggesting if theres a better offer in the next week take it. He also swallows and blinks a thousand times when the question comes up so it clearly made him nervous.
Wemby is what Wilt Chamberlain was back in the day just with modern flair.
Chapters? 🤞
Dang if Kaleb M went to 4 at 32 would have wanted to sign and trade Gary and trade for Kaleb. Much better Def!
FINALLY ALEX IS BACK! Big up fellas!
Guys great insights, did you develop your chemistry through business? Or were you friends first? Just curious.
We are too good to tank has been said before.
Alex and his hat. A pleasure
GTJ would average 4.5 3's a game if he signs with Denver
Will Lu with the ‘twinkle toe’ ⚽️
I disagree, Trent is not that ahead of Dick, Walter.
If we trade for a sf- 2 way player.
Dick role- off the bench-
If they bring Gary back...
I'm not watching a single full game this coming season ...it will be exactly like last season.
Bits and pieces..here and there
For the simple reason that it makes them look desperate.
It tells me their summer plans didn't go "As planned"
So I don't want to watch a shitty half baked product.
Never cook again
Nah Gradey shouldn't start yet unless someone ends up injured. Starting 5 of Quickley, RJ, Scottie, Olynyk, and Poeltl
RJ isn’t a shooting guard and can’t defend that position and also Kelly at his age is going to struggle to guard most starting 4’s in the league today because he’s slow footed. Gradey isn’t the best defender either but him starting will likely be more of beneficial than Kelly starting.
@@mikeyjames RJ is a wing player ie SG and/or SF. GD shouldn't smell the starting lineup- he hasn't earned it. Sasha should start if he stays on the roster.
Everybody is very quick to trade Bruce but he was injured while with the raptors. I think giving HESLTHY Bruce a chance. Let him start as he is a solid defender and a good catch and shooter when last seen healthy. I also don’t mind gradey. I think he has a lot of defensive potential at 6’7.
Lateral foot speed is the current issue with Gradey, as well as being a more narrow fella. If he beefed the fuck up, easier to handle the movement issues
5 Rockies, ? Are you counting 2 way affiliate Players
Why do we wanna trade jak
I haven't listen to all the pod. Who is asking for Poetl to get traded?
Overpaid for a big that you can't close with. Can't hit free throws or space the floor. I still want to see how he plays with the new core beyond 10-15 games. He has good IQ and is a threat within 8 feet. I still want to see how it works.
He was originally brought in (on an overpay in assets), to try and get the FFV and Pascal core into the playoffs, and to help develop Koloko. The topic of trading him has been floating around for a good two months.
How is Drake and OVO still involved with Raptors basketball? Baka got a weird case...

What has Gary done in the last 3 seasons other than turn 25? Gradey is arguably better than him at passing , cutting, and finishing at the rim already.
I agree he's worth keeping on MLE, but that's the max. And he should learn how to lead a bench if he wants to sniff 20m ever again.
@@notDonaldFagen Last season GTJ led the entire NBA on wide open 3fg percentage at 51.3%. That's your opinion, but I disagree on GD being better than GTJ at passing, cutting and finishing at the rim. GTJ will get paid around the MLE or more whether it's by Toronto or another team - time will tell.
@@IceManLikeGervin I expected your response to be that stat. Those percentages were achieved by being cold for 8 games, and then going lights out for 2. Inconsistent AF.
I'd rather have a a player that averages 15pts that you can bank on, than a guy who goes for 25-30pt once in a while, and then 8-11pts others and averages 15.
@@notDonaldFagen You trotted out the same propaganda that everyone who tries to expose GTJ does. Over 82 games every player's fg shooting is inconsistent that's why season ending stats are the end all variable. For reference go look at Steph Curry's shooting stats for every game last season - he was very inconsistent. After all that GTJ still led the NBA in wide open 3fg percentage and shot 39% from 3fg for the season. All the best...
GTJ doesn't want to play for the RAPS anymore He wants to play for a contender team and BUCKS are
interested Time will tell
We'll be rooting for you❤

Love you guys but way too much fooling around getting in the way of content. I know you like each other but it is starting to be a little less professional than I think you want to be.
