I thought teams didn't care about depth at C.

I dont respect your basketball opinion if you dont think having positional depth matters lol.

Seems pretty simple to me.

5 positions
15 contracts+3 extra
Have 2...just 2 legit C's isn't a crazy concept...lol.

Then let CMB be the 3rd if needed or if you want to go small.

Haha exactly... its almost common sense to fill out your roster that way. To force your team to only play a particular style with 0 flexibility just seems stupid lol.

Agree.

Who was the FA that signed a deal last summer that became an impact player in the playoffs?

Isaiah Hartenstein (who wasn't that impactful) and who?

What if sitting still is actually the correct strategy?

Not a Raptors RealGM offseason without people complaining that the Raptors aren't doing something lol

Bucks are another team taking a step back next year. We aren’t the Knicks, Magic or Cavs but we can get ourselves into that next tier.

Do you guys really think that CMB and Mogbo would really just get dominated by Al Horford, Brooke Lopez, Mason Plumlee, Luka Garza or Mo Wagner. Like playing these guys at Center instead of going small would be some huge upgrade. Come on man this is getting silly.

What happens when Poeltl gets hurt? Do we just cancel the season? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

We got 18 friggin roster slots to add 2 nba calibre Centers, its really not that hard. There's a reason why practically every good team has 2 to 3 NBA calibre Centers on their roster

But that player isnt out there. Theres nobody there. Horford good but he isnt coming to Toronto. Neither is Ayton. So what do you wanna do? Sign Ben Simmons? Jaxon Hayes? Why? Just play small ball.

That player isnt out there because this management group hasn't budgeted for it, plain and simple. Thats the issue we're calling out.

Let's see how the offseason ends because Ochai/Dick/Walter/Battle are too many backup wings and at least 1 of them won't touch the court at all.

And btw. Your guy AL Horford is 6'8 with a 7'0 wingspan and your complaining about Mogbo and CMB being undersized.
