Why do you care? Don't read and don't post if you're not interested.

Draft: Hoffa, Bargnani, Charlie V. JV, TRoss, Poeltl.

But I'm not really interested in this game.

The comparison is to free agents. You're point was instead of throwing away a season for a pick. You can just sign someone as a free agent. Who have the Raptors signed that is better in comparison to Tmac/Bosh/Carter/Demar/JV.

Let's recap:

Of course just as much as they can screw up free agent signings and trades. Masais biggest free agent signing was DeMarre Carroll lol.

I mean, what are you trying to argue here? Carter, Bosh and TMac weren't good enough to build around, either.

Carter and Tmac were enough to build around. Problem was in 1998 when Tmac was drafted restricted free agency did not exist. If the Raptors drafted that combination today, they would be here for 8-9 years at least.

2016 Leafs tanked, look at them now.

[Steelo Green]

If you look in the votes on the GDT, there’s a pretty large contingent who would be happy to sell assets off and get into the lottery, they just not be as loud as the opposition.

The Raptors are 10-13, I honestly find it funny people think this squad has something.

We’re worse than the Knicks and have the same record as the Hornets.

Tankers need to start their own forum. We can't have them out there making the rest of real gm look like idiots.

If you ever meet a TWO Raptors "fan" ... Choke them. Take their belongings. Leave them naked on the streets. They'll like it cause then they can embrace a real life tank. But they have no place among Raptors fan.

I piss on TWO.... I **** on them.

Yes... Where are the Mods?

You don't have to click on this thread, you know... Seriously, grow-up! It's ONE very popular and active thread where members are hashing out various strategies on how to add talent to the Raptors team.

We have a BIG problem with society when people get so microaggressed that they cannot hear a difference in opinion... Instead, they become authoritarian and absolutist (the very people they often claim to loath). Ban, censor, cancel... Seriously, its time to start telling people that express themselves this way to either add something of substance to the conversation or sit down and STFU... The world and everybody in it doesn't have to cater to every single one of your sensitivities.

Oh snap my trolling has been revealed I'm gonna hide for a week then return in a more subtle way.

The trade deadline is March 25 if I'm not mistaken, that will give the front office a month and a half to evaluate and decide....will it be steady the course or is it tWo?

And there you have it. You basically just said if you know you can't compete in a given year, you have to tank. Win or tank. Blow up the entire future. Lmfao. Like a bunch of people has said, your view makes sure we don't even have a title.

Everyone knew we wouldn't win this year or complete, guess you were the only one surprised and needed even 7 games. But most people also have a larger view. Basing every future decision off seven games is just awful. As for your 72 game argument, it's a complete strawman because you don't have a leg to stand on for that decision. And there's a reason to why I waited for the quarter pole to even bother to say much in this thread.

Blow up the future? lol what? No one wants to blow up the team.

Also it's not about competing in a given year. It's about competing with this core. This core has reached its limits. Unless OG goes to another level we are what we are. We need to add talent to this core.

Standing pat just delays the inevitable.

So let’s recap...core isn’t bad now, we need to add talent to it.

So your plan, by default, is to trade players outside the core and get bad and really worse players back (lmao)? and you think would make us terrible enough? Your plan for tanking is to basically trade Davis and Powell....you think that makes us tank bad enough. No it doesn’t...do you think trading Lowry is tanking and makes us bad enough?

Or is it about trading the CORE and blowing up the team? Because the one is dumb and we know it’s a lie, and achieves little, and the second is just asinine after seven games.

Maybe be less petulant about what everyone knew before the season started, we were taking a step back. If your concept is simply trading a Lowry and Powell, most people wouldn’t argue with you. That you would listen to any trade talks. But you seem to have some mistaken opinion that trading either player means tanking. You also seem to think that management wouldn’t for some crazy reason. But No... it would take far more than that to tank.

Pick a lane. And stop moaning when they win. This team couldn’t suck enough without completely blowing it up. And you still don’t get that.

I’ve come to my senses Johnny, there is nothing wrong with this core. They have championship pedigree! We need to ride this wave. They will be back to the finals. Siakam is an all star. Lowry is a perennial all star. I don’t know what I was thinking. My bad.

I was so stupid for wanting to tank this year to add a lottery pick to this roster. Why waste the season for such a lame reason. Ashamed of myself.

That was one of the most disturbing collection of posts I’ve seen. The hostility is incredible. Some people can’t handle the fact this team isn’t good.

Why would this team tank? That’s ridiculous. Why would you want a lottery pick and waste such an important season? We need to keep playing Lowry and Norman and not trade them for assets. You know why? Because we’re winners. You don’t trade good players for future assets. That’s stupid.

You really have some issues you need to deal with internally, choke them? piss on them?

The Raptors are 10-13, I honestly find it funny people think this squad has something.

We’re worse than the Knicks and have the same record as the Hornets.

This squad still has four rotation players from the title winning team. They have everyone minus Ibaka and Gasol from last year's team that was on a 60 win pace. We're one quality big trade away from being in the mix again. We're only three games behind 3rd seed.

Clearly we're not worse than the Knicks. Don't be a prisoner of the moment. Out record is 10-13 but we have an expected record of 12-11 based on SRS, and that's with some really suspect officiating, bad 4th q luck, and playing all our games on the road.

Why is it funny to think your team might have something? Why is it so bad to want to cheer for them to win? It'd be different if we were 3/4 of the way through the season and had no chance of making the playoffs. There's still more than enough time to turn it around though - maybe not to win a championship but to have a quality year where guys get more valuable playoff reps and grow as players? Yeah that can still can happen.

I agree minus the maybe not win the championship part. We’re a big man away from winning everything. We only have most of these losses because of baynes and the refs.

I hear ya man and I totally get it. Not sure if the constant sarcasm is gonna get tank rolling faster though.

What sarcasm? We’re the 8th seed. I was wrong. This team is clearly way too talented.

Dude please don’t respond to me with such doubts.

I’ve finally come to my senses. It makes no sense to tank. We have too many all stars on this team already and wasting this season for such a worthless cause like the lottery will set us back.

We have fostered winning culture and have championship pedigree.

That alone will get us to the 6th seed.

Lol you must be bored at home huh?, dont worry we all are.

[mindwalker]

There will be no tanking. this team is good enough to be top 6 in the east, and I would like to enjoy watching my team rather than chase some illusive lottery pick. No rookie is guaranteed to be good.

Keep laughing man. Won’t be when we get the 6th seed and push Celtics to 5 games. We’re winners. We’re not like these fake fans wanting to tank.
