Raptor red tinted glasses undefeated

Those still don't think that Maxey is allstar calibre?

High end role player for sure at the moment. All star… no. Just one game lol

You’re salty as ****. He is a 2nd year player. Give props where they are due. He’s cooking Fred, one of the best defenders in the league.

Sigh would’ve been nice to have

If they had Maxey in place of Trent Jr, Raptors would be up 15.

Simply talking in terms of the Raptors, I think they would rather have Precious. He fits their prototype perfectly: length, athleticism, versatility, and most notably, a willingness and ability to defend. Maxey may be a good player, but he doesn’t really fit what this team usually looks for.

This team looks for players that they can buy low and improve rather than players that are already high.

I think many are really overrating Achiuwa's potential at this point.

You're giving up way more assets to obtain Maxey than you are Achiuwa. When you have a player with more talent it is easier to trade for fit, rather than trade to obtain higher talent.

Suddenly Achiuwa is a good 3 point shooter (he is not) and all defensive potential (a little bit of a stretch) as you need to be able to not hurt your team on the other end too much in order to stay on the floor. The other option is to be elite at one thing which I don't see. He is a good role player.

This is definitely a bump worthy thread in the future.

I agree. You’re making an ass of yourself.

Ouch.

Still want Precious over Maxey?

Ouch.

I mean, it’s one game. When we’re talking about: 1) long-term 2) who the Raptors would value more.

We know that the Raptors value versatile players above all else.

I’m sure the same people were saying the same thing about Barnes and Suggs after the draft.

Holy hyperbole Batman. Are you really comparing the Barnes vs. Suggs comparison to this?

You’re making an ass of yourself.

Looks like the 76ers made a good decision.

[ruckus]

I thought we wanted both Thybulle and Maxey and that was the sticking point. It was one or the other but not both.

Hindsight being 20/20, a Fred, Gary and Maxey backcourt would be pretty good. Especially with the tertiary playmaking of Pascal and Scottie.

However, as individual players, I think Precious has more potential than Maxey and will ultimately contribute more to the success of the team.

Lol. That aged poorly.

All the reports said nobody was offering anything of value for Kyle. People crying about Masai not trading him were missing the point- it was the other teams, Philly, Miami, and LA, who gave up a shot at a title last year.

Maxey is a nice scorer but he’s tiny and can’t defend a lick. The Raps are about to ruin that kid.

How'd that work out.

Maxey was even picking up Fred in backcourt, wearing him down

This is the wackest kind of post there is, dragging up positivity from a fellow fan and gloating against your own team. Guess that’s why you’ve been here 16 years and I don’t know who you are.

It's also an ultra casual take. In the first half....all of maxey's points came from open shots. Which were by design and given to him by our defense. And maxey was getting roasted by switches onto barnes.

But "derrr ball goes in derrr ball doesnt go in" casuals dont know about any of that. Maxey had a hot shooting night. And then in the third he scored 3 or 4 times off of penetration.

In case noone noticed....the raps have been turning third option scorers into primary scorers all season.

I've no idea how long you been here OR who you are. So what. I want to win. I cheer for our team. But being negative about a budding star like Maxey makes no sense to me

[Los_29]

I missed the game, judging by how poorly Embiid and Harden shot the ball and how well Tobias and Maxey did, I'm guessing we weren't guarding anyone not named Embiid and Harden?

Maxey was hitting open 3s AND penetrating at will both. It's what makes him dangerous compared to deadly shooters who aren't a threat when they get run off the line.

He may be not quite as hot from 3 next game and
still hurt us. He played well last game too, not like tonight for sure but we'll. It's Tobias who really improved over last league game, he was terrible that night and very good tonight. He's the one I don't expect to duplicate tonight again

Walt, you definitely need to be a bit more positive around here. I was looking at that draft thread the other day and you were among the most negative of them all.

I also don't know why you feel like you need to hype up Tyrese Maxey in every thread on a Raptors forum. If you like Maxey so much I'm sure the Sixers board would be glad to have you. LOL.

There is a guy that put up even better offensive numbers to Tyrese Maxey and he was traded to the Clippers for cap relief.

I remember this showing up on my Twitter feed a year ago. The Raptors asking price from the Sixers was pretty high. No wonder Morey turned it down.

That guy is a Philly beat writer. LOL.

He reported what Windhorst was reporting at the time about the Lowry demands. Windhorst is a reputable guy. He is not a guy like Doug Smith or other mediocre members of the press.

Can you provide a link to when Windhorst said this?

Show me his penetration bucket from the first half. He was OPEN. He wasn't covered.

Maybe you'll be happy if we shut down maxey and embiid/harden combine for 70 points. But i doubt it.
