Needed a stretch big for darko. Gotta get with the times of 2025 offense. Mamu is a decent get to spot Poeltl and gives a different look as Dan alluded to pre draft

Wait he played with RJ in high school?

They did, yeah, prep school. Not sure how many years together but I remember this photo [RJ #5 / Sandro #23] (Andrew Nembhard (#2) was also on the team)

Cool find. Thanks!

Killing me lol. I suspect some fringe move by the deadline to avoid the tax, Bobby Webster special gonna probably cost us trading down a pick.

I am happy with the signing as we should be looking for buy low/high reward type guys.

Perfect world, we would sign Orlando Robinson to be that big body in certain matchups as the 3rd C in case Poeltl gets hurt.

Putting aside Temple, the Raptors have a pretty young roster. Yak being the oldest now.

Great pick up and exactly what they needed. Pairs nicely with the defensive oriented front court.

Team really is stacked and should be able to handle injury risk. Lots now on Darko to make it work.

How can anyone hate Boucher who was a class act getting benched during his contract year...

how is wanting him off the team hating on him?

he was a terrible player who couldn't learn any systems since he joined the team.


And yet he impacted winning off the bench more than most. He has his flaws but he also has his strengths that cant be taught. Hes a great minimum type player to have imo.

You happy with Mamu?

I am.

Had to find you to ask...lol.

The likely 15 man roster:

C Poeltl (29) / Mamukelashvili (26)
F Barnes (23) / Murray-Boyles (20) / Mogbo (23)
F Ingram (27) / Ochai (25) / Battle (24)
G Barrett (25) / Dick (21) / Walter (20) / Temple (39)
G Quickley (26) / Shead (22) / Martin (23)

Don't like the player option. It will take a year to learn how to say his name and by then he will be gone.
