Shams: Raptors sign Mamukelashvili to a two-year, $5.5 million deal (player option)

[TimeForChange]

reading the spurs reddit they think he's a terrible defender

you pair a stretch big with a defensive PF like CMB or Mogbo to make it work

Well that worked well with Kelly Olynyk. Let us try it again.

difference is Kelly is older and was washed. He couldn't even move out there.

CMB should be an upgrade on Mogbo as well.

Shead
Ochai
Dick
CMB
Mamu

this allows the raps to put 3 shooters around CMB and 3 solid defenders to protect Dick and Mamu on defense.

it might not work but it is definitely an upgrade over Kelly/Mogbo

He was trending upwards for the Spurs before Wemby was drafted. Good signing, see if we can get him back in that trajectory.

Love this pickup, thank you Bobby!

Great using the BAE. Last time we turned McDaniels into Davion Mitchell and 2nd pick.

Mamu is like the filler backup C until Chomche is ready for rotation minutes in a year.

[WWSRD]

Given the Raps lack of shooting overall....I can see him getting a lot of minutes and a lot of shots.

[Psubs]

Way better than O-Rob and Castleton. Wooooooooo

[bape_lovers]

Rinse and repeat, going to trade that player that we pick for a future pick in 3 years

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.

Trade Dick for a 1st next year.

Sign Orlando for the #3C

The money saved between the 2 gets us out of the tax. And we clear playing time for wings. And have 2 1sts next year.

Im very happy with this move. Brings in a depth Center for if (and when) Poeltl gets hurt and gives us a year to evaluate how well or when the small ball lineups work and when they dont work. And also allows us to evaluate whether or not the team is more effective running a depth Center instead of giving up the size on the Centerless lineups. Toronto's going to be tough this year.

[Thaddy]

Poeltl / Sandro
Barnes / CMB
Ingram / Walter / Mogbo
Barrett / Agbaji / Dick
Quickely / Shead

That can get us to the 6th seed. This team should be better than the Pistons. We are going to need Barnes, RJ and the other younger players to be better and produce more.

Raptors get their back up Center! LET'S GOOOOOO!!!

[Jim Todd Jr.]

Exactly who I wanted

[TeamDisgruntled]

Close enough to Mo Wagner without the injury or big price tag.

[niQ]

Haven't seen him play much.

(Looks at Per36 numbers.)

LET'S GOOOOOO!

When Porter played for us his shooting did open the floor. Mamu should do the same for that unit.

I'm super excited about signing Sandro, but that clip reminds me of Baynes when he went off shootings 3s in PHX...
