Watching Miami hit open threes...it's never like that for us in the playoffs vs good teams. EVER. Aside from the Bucks series last year we always struggle to hit open threes in the playoffs. Doesn't matter the personnel. :lol:

Even if Giannis comes here, we can’t win without an elite wing/guard that can score from anywhere. You can only do so much as a big.

I want Bradley Beal on the Raptors so badly.

If Giannis comes here Masai will unload a lot of our assets to get that third star (assuming Siakam stays at his trajectory).

I’m just thinking out loud but, does OG + TD + 2020 Raps 1st get you a third star? Those are the only valuable pieces we have after 2021 unless Masai sells this off-season.

I don’t think Fred on whatever contract he’s going to get (probably $20+ mill) is going to have any positive value imo.

I was thinking we should do a sign and trade with some team this offseason to get back some value for him. I don't know if giving him a contract this offseason is wise. It will only further make it challenging to create some capspace Giannis's offseason. Someone said with Lowry coming off the books after next year it will open up space for Giannis but I doubt that if we sign Ibaka and Fred back this year.

Giannis would be unstoppable with an inbetween mid- range game

They're playing really good defense. Reminds me of us last season with Kawhi.

Imagine being a Bucks fan. Up 2-0 Last season on the Raps, lose in 6. This season you're playing against a team that can exploit your weaknesses and is your worst matchup

Its some kind of mental hurdle our dudes have. Being open does nothing to improve their percentages.
