1. Develop the legit young talent (Gradey and Ochai ... and Jontay if by some miracle he's not guilty)
2. Figure out if Gary can learn to play the right way and be worthy of a contract offer
3. Try to find some diamonds in the rough among the G-Leaguers
4. Try to increase the trade value of Bruce Brown.

That's it. That's the list. Every game thread and post-game thread should focus on these aspects of the game.

The unpublicized goal appears to be to lose out this season, at least until Memphis wins a few more games and separates themselves from us. I thought the intention might to convey the pick this year, but it doesn't look like it at this point.

It was until Barnes went down and then Jak the next game, this has been one of the quickest tank pivots ever. We definitely are prioritizing development over even trying to be competitive.

so what was the excuse when Scottie/IQ/RJ/Poeltl were all playing?

why do other teams still put in effort when missing the majority of their team.

I know raptor fans only watch raptor games, but memphis was putting in effort when fielding a G-League team. The Knicks were putting in effort when fielding a G-League team.

why can the raptors not put in any effort?

I doubt Masai is even watching these games. Why are you? It's only worth a quick box score look.

Season is done. Our key guys are all out. Not sure what some of you are expecting. We got a hybrid of Raptors bench and 905 starters out there!

Why are people still paying to attend the games live? Its mind boggling to me. This is not NBA caliber basketball.

it's so stupid that the pacers gave us zero young prospects and then gifts away Buddy Hield

Seriously. And that goes for cable as well. I pay stupid money for cable because I like my 4k raptors games and the ability to pause and record games and not have any lag/poor quality. It's literally the only reason why I have cable with rogers. I've been thinking for the last month that I don't need it and that I should cut the cord. I haven't even watched a minute of raptors ball in the last month or so. I don't know why I have it.

I went to a game with my daughter a few weeks ago. She has been begging me to take her to a game for a while. I can’t justify the usual cost but tickets are way more affordable on the secondary market now. Probably a lot of the people at games now are of this sort.

Apparently the return for Hield was so low because he had an "understanding" with the Sixers on his next deal that he wouldn't necessarily give to others. They essentially got anything they could get.

Hey, don't worry about it, we were told the coach is focusing on offence this year, not defence. I'm sure he'll get around to defence next year, right?
