So.... what do we do about the frontcourt now?

[anotherhomer]

I think Gasol will return for 1 year 15 million, he and his agent are likely using lakers as leverage to get more money from Toronto. Raptors once again rumoured to be interested in Markeiff Morris, don't understand why raptors are constantly linked to him, he's a below average defender and inconstant shooter. but I guess beggars can't be choosers at this point.

interesting take....

$15M ??? Dude what are you on ? That’s a lot of $$ for an aging player! Plus no team has that much room!
I’d say $9M or $10M at most

I want baynes, Thon, Biz and trade for mo Bamba.

Biz and thon will cost nothing. Baynes Maybe 4 per. Bamba has potential to be better than biz on D

I think we are always linked to the Morris twins because they are close friends with Lowry.

I'm all for Baynes.

[WaltFrazier]

Damn, Biz is gone now too. We keep whiffing on centers, should have gone after TT before Boston grabbed him

[Basketball_Jones]

Lol Boucher is gonna get man handled

[evilution]

Now hear me out...
Trade for JV, sign Biz, and bring Bebe back from wherever he went to for that special pants-down action.
Ah, I'm late, Biz signing ruined the flashback tour

Lol even the fans that were anti JV would like him back now lmao

Lost me on Bebe. Isn't he playing in Brazil?

[Purple Fever]

Marc Gasol was so bad offensively last season I swore I never wanted to see him in a Raptors uniform again.

The fact that I’m now hoping he returns speaks to how bad our frontcourt situation currently is.

Trade route is coming that is for sure. The open market is cheaper though. For the first time ever.

Worst case scenario is that we’re so short on Centers that we need to trade Powell to get one.

[Ell Curry]

I'm surprised people are freaking out. I really don't want to sacrifice 2021 cap space and would probably not have offered Ibaka 9M next year unless we were really confident he could be offloaded next summer with 1 year 9M left on his deal which he presumably could have been, but that might not help with re-recruiting Kawhi or even keeping OG .

But right now for 2021 We can go into the summer with about 38M in cap space and a roster like this:

____/Hernandez
Siakam/2021 1st rounder
Anunoby/Davis
_____/Thomas/Harris
VanVleet/Flynn

and then if we get a max guy maybe he signs for 30M instead of 33 and we can keep Lowry at 9M or sign another mid level sort of guy, or maybe we get a guy for 25M like Gobert and have 14M to sign Lowry or a decent starting guard/wing for about 5M over the MLE like Powell, or maybe he picks up his option even, though I doubt it.

So yeah, hopefully Gasol stays for one year 15M (or we trade McCaw or Johnson and a 2nd rounder to free up 2-3M more to entice Gasol) which would also give us a nice expiring contract if Giannis resigns and we want to just go get Oladipo or a healthy Blake or someone.

I'm fine with Boucher getting 20-25 minutes a game at the 5, I'm not sure he isn't already better than Serge honestly, but obviously we need a big body to guard centers in the post so if not Gasol, we probably need one of Baynes, Whiteside or Len to sign a 1 year deal and give us 20 a night, then maybe smallball for 5 or so.

At the 4, I'm pleasantly surprised that Hollis-Jefferson is unsigned. I'd love him to come back for one more year. We have enough shooting to be useful for him and I was surprised Nurse didn't go to him more in the playoffs.

Bring in Solomon Alabi

Really concerning because the Raps should be the best situation for a young C to go to.

Is the front office not being aggressive enough going after them?

[Yeezus_]

Give Baynes the MLE at this point. A 2 year deal with a team option.

[basketball royalty]

I would give Poeltl a one yr MLE offer. Would that be enough for Spurs not to match?

Is he a guy that would be considered close to that salary? I’m thinking no but it would allow us to steal him back.

Not really interested in any of the stop gap bigs out there. Would rather ride with youth and see how it goes.
