You gotta pay Lowry. They aint winning shit but this is as good as the raptors have ever been (and probably will ever be) you can't cut that shit short.

I wouldn't max Lowry, would prefer to see how Joseph goes and use the money to upgrade Carroll's corpse
By pilonv1 Go To PostI wouldn't max Lowry, would prefer to see how Joseph goes and use the money to upgrade Carroll's corpseJoseph and Carroll are trash pandas
By DY_nasty Go To PostJoseph and Carroll are trash pandas
Joseph isn't as bad as Carroll. Plenty of FA PG this year anyway, you could get Jrue or George Hill for 2/3 the cost of Max Lowry.

DeMar DeRozan

Jakob Poetl
This lineup is good I will say.
It's a joke about my love for the Utah Utes and you didn't get it :(
I'm starting at MSU in a couple of months, should I now root for Draymond Green or what? Probably not, right?
But do I get the right to root for Gary Harris and players less well known than Gary Harris?

Which is why I wouldn't max Lowry, they're not getting better than this year if they do
By kjack Go To PostThis decision on whether to max the fuck out of Lowry is some sick stuff.They won't have cap-space if they let literally every free agent walk this offseason, iirc.
Raptors FO probably feels like they have no choice.
By Kibner Go To PostThey won't have cap-space if they let literally every free agent walk this offseason, iirc.Paul Pierce is happy he tanked I guarantee that
By DY_nasty Go To Postshit like this would've had raymond felton retiring as a bobcatBut yall had Grand mama and Zo and them. This is all they got.
According to Spotrac, the Raptors are 27M over the cap going into this offseason with only 12 players signed.
Espn's stream is shit, never have these problems with TNT. You know your shit sucks when people illegally streaming your broadcast have a better connection.

By Kibner Go To PostAccording to Spotrac, the Raptors are 27M over the cap going into this offseason with only 12 players signed.so take a year off
wouldn't be the first time an all-star got a year to chill while their team reloaded
By DY_nasty Go To Postso take a year offToronto is not a FA destination so that "tanking" year will not endear them to anyone once that cap space opens back up.

The Raptors need to get lucky with late first round picks. Thats they only way they don't suck again in 5 years.
By Kibner Go To PostToronto is not a FA destination so that "tanking" year will not endear them to anyone once that cap space opens back up.Masai's shown the ability to gain value through assets available though. FA sucks sure, draft isn't reliable fine - but cap space is an asset and so is lessthanproven talent.
You know what Lowry is. Same for Casey and the majority of that roster. (All that popping off and "this is our year" shit this season for them to go out like this? They have to start over. Pretending otherwise is just gonna be even worse next year.)
Soft reset is the only answer. Anything less is just gonna alienate their fans
They do need to get rid of Casey. Carrol won't get them anything but Val might. They have to hope they can trade him for a PG if they let Lowry walk. I don't think they will get anything better than they already have.
The only thing that can happen for them to not alienate their fans is for LeBron James to leave the Eastern Conference in some shape or form. No moves they can make over the next couple seasons will have as much impact as that.

Also, if they take that year off, get rid of Valanciunas and Carroll, and Poeltl and Siakam don't become starters, they will need to find a starting PG, SF, PF, and C in addition to a backup SG and SF.

No one wants to be embarrassed rocking your jersey. That's why Clippers fans feel like shit at all times of the day. Why Bills fans didn't come out in public for two decades. Why Atlanta fans know better than to be sports fans at all. etc

Even lovable loser fans got pride in being the only one repping.

i hate watching beverly play
The amount of times he goes up in the air with nowhere to go drives me insane. He needs to be constantly off ball.
