You can see why the FO is in no rush to give RJ an extension. If he isn’t hyper efficient, he’s a negative impact player.

He’s gotta slow it down a bit, let the game come to him instead of forcing it. I’m expecting a bounce back in the 2nd half from him.

Depends on who we get for him.

If you think he's easily replaceable, or that this team would be better without him, you're highly mistaken.

Yup.

Passing RJ is the best RJ

The good thing is the Raptors can probably replace RJ with Agbaji and instantly get better anyway. Don’t really need to wait for a trade

If you guys are complaining about RJ, IQ and Ingram on D, can only imagine what you would say about Ball.

LaMelo is a better player than every single one of them by a wide margin. And no, Ingram is not a better defensive player than Ball.

hes played like this for close to 4 games straight and his answer is to try tougher shots, not play within the system to get easier ones. at least imo.

We should be up 20 + We really do need to lean into playing our more productive lineups more.
