Isn't there a common saying about players you hate to play against but love to have on your team?

No thanks.
MPJ is better than RJ but RJ is a better fit on this team.

Ingram and MPJ are quite redundant.

I'd rather stick with the home grown kid, and not the player with chronic back issues


We already have a guy with chronic back issues, don't need multiple.

How the **** did you wave off Barnes’ and-1 at the end and call a travel on a turnaround jumper with less than a minute left in regulation time? Has anyone ever seen a travel on a turnaround jumper before? Why do they think fans pay to watch these games? Why does this only seem to happen to Toronto?

I have no doubt Barnes probably has the highest percentage of and-1s waved off in the NBA. He must be averaging about one a game

Scottie reshuffle his pivot, possibly. Not 100% sure but looked like that. However it was clear continuation, he moved to the basket to score, clearly

We’ve seen enough Scottie to know he won’t. I just hope he carries enough while Ingram/RJ are out.


I want to see what his mentality is in the playoffs for sure.

You guys are taking with the confidence of nba insiders based on literally bull **** talking out of your ass but get mad when I make player assessments… meanwhile you somehow know the inner workings of the raptors organization and somehow don’t understand how work is delegated in corporations.


yeah because in most corporate settings the CEO or COO or the president doesn't get final say right..... ? come on man.


There’s literally evidence and discussion of Webster sinflehandedly orchestrating moves and for some reason your big argument to him not making decisions is the ceo gets final say… and you have the audacity to end your argument with “come on man?” How old are you? I only ask that because I work for a corporation and in the hierarchy the big dog often has no idea what’s going on or what decisions are made until they run it past him and the whole point of hiring people underneath you is to entrust them with those decisions. So the more realistic relationship is that bobby does something asks Masai is this good and Masai goes well do you think it makes sense and Bobby goes yes this is why and Masai goes okay I trust you let’s do it.

Alijah Martin needs to study PJ Tucker, Infact, we should hire PJ Tucker probably. He'd be good for guys like Shead, CMB, Walter, Martin & even Scottie, maybe even RJ too

If he is gone, it would be for a better PG at a borderline all star or all star level

I dont think he will be missed

he sucks but will still get us a borderline all star or legit all star player

It takes some big balls to talk trash to Maxey as a rookie.

I like it.


Yeah. I love it. Backs it up with his hustle and defense too.

I have been saying for a while that we need a player or.two with an edge to them.

I can see how my post would diminish the work of Bobby, I'm being tounge n cheek so to say, but Masai was right there with Bobby & empowered him, so Masai has to get some credit. He did find & mentored him after all

Only worried about the west.

Yes- we are first round cannon fodder- and that is part of the development process, and that is ok.
The worst thing we could do is trade kids and picks to get a geezer- we win a round, and have no future.

We have a bunch now. Scottie, CMB, Shead, Martin. Even Walter has some dog in him I’d argue.
