Somebody get jack on social media please. These guys are all company guys that just roll with the agenda. They’re like robots that’s scared to share their real opinion and need to stay in line. I can’t say all of them because Eric doesn’t do it but these other guys man smh these guys are like f....... programmed robots. you already know what they’re going to say.

Dude, you're becoming unglued again, even by your own standards. This isn't that big a deal.

Serge leaving, and not even having Gasol for sure, IS a big deal. Leaving space for 2021is useless if we have a barely above .500 season. Giannis or whoever won't come to a team that's not already strong.

Gasol would still be good for his smarts and leadership but we couldn’t rely on him to play many minutes.

I think Boogie would be a good low-risk high-reward signing. He’s good friends with Lowry I believe.

Giles is similarly low-risk high-reward.

Still we need someone who can play reliable minutes that isn’t Boucher or Hernandez.

Trade coming?

Remember when some of these raptor reporters (not all) were still licking gasols boots in playoffs vs the Celtics when we were facing elimination ? Jack was the only one to say they’re not paying this guy any attention, they’re leaving him wide open and telling him to shot because they don’t believe he can still make those shots any maybe serge need to start. Some of these other guys were talking about “Raptors need gasol out there and it doesn’t matter what you guys think” smh

even William Lou was saying the guy was killing us. He was at least honest with himself. Some of those guys try to talk to you like your eyes is lying to you. Like we’re not watching the game or we can’t look at his numbers. Trying to use that BS plus/minus stats to say they’re better with him on the floor as if mccaw never had good plus/minus numbers without people hardly noticing him being in the game. You do a couple good things on the floor, don’t shoot and you have good plus/minus numbers.

I can’t respect the opinion of someone that try’s to make a fool out of me. If you’re trying to teach me something then fine but don’t try to tell my eyes is lying to me.

One option is to offer Giles and Len the combined MLE. Or Giles and Biz. Or Len and Biz. We now have a much better shot at Gasol so we might get Marc at the mle and Biz at vet minimum.

I am secretly not so secretly hoping for the Raps to bring onboard Christian Wood. If that is possible.

I hope we can sign Gasol. Then Boucher. Hopefully there is enough to sign a Giles type under the tax. But if not perhaps trade Stanley to ‘Centres R’ Us’ for Tony Bradley. He makes slightly less money than Stanley and the Pistons need another non-shooter. Toss them a 2nd if you have too.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Nope. Scratch that. Wood is joining the Rockets in a sign & trade.

I'm actually surprise Bismack is still only 28! I thought dude was in his early 30's for some reason.

I would do Bismack and Giles.

This team need a center of the future in the worst way.

Relax, They got this. I remember Masai even said at his end of year presser that they may have re-evaluate the roster because of the way the game is being played now. Remember both these guys were forced off the floor against the Celtics. That’s why I actually think Gasol is more important than Ibaka. OG can replace Serge but not in matchups where Marc is needed like Jokic or Embiid. Stanley Johnson, gulp, might even be an option at the 5 in a RHJ type role.

With all due respect, SIr...Stanley Johnson at the 5 is not at all providing any comfort nor confidence. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
