He's getting paid 2.3 million this season.

But max going forward

You're judging him based on a contract he hasn't even played on yet?

Well rested Harden is gonna be a problem. Combined that with an open Paint for Russ the rockets will be dangerous.

Rondae is bullying Houston right now.

RHJ gambles a lot. Pretty much he comes in and wreck ****, but we dont know which team he will help out. Tonight luck is on our side.

Really? I think he's looked good tonight. Sure, he missed a couple of 3s, but they were all in the flow of the offence and good shots (the two above at the top of the arc were clearly designed plays).

He's also had too many turnovers tonight, but all of them were Pascal trying to make an extra pass, something that I want him to experiment with in a game like this that doesn't matter when he's trying to get back into the feel of game flow. He's going to need to make extra passes when he gets doubled in the playoffs. I don't want him to be conservative in a game like this, he needs to push his limits.

Also, it must be asked - sell high how? Who do you think that we could get in a trade that would provide as much as Pascal does, who hasn't finished developing yet?

I dont know what would be available but when I say sell high I mean sell while he's on the rise. What if this is his best?

First of all, what would possibly make you think he has peaked, given everything we've seen in his career so far?

But even if it is, so what? You don't just give players like Pascal away for no reason. He's already proven that he can be a second-option offensive player and a plus defensive player on a championship team. Any team can carry at least two max salary players and still build a good enough team to win a championship.

So what problem are you trying to solve here?

why does it always have to be all or nothing?

Because its a Raptors game thread, it's all about the hot takes, doesnt matter if its the first game of a scrimmage coming of a 4 month quarantine due to world wide pandemic.

Settle down bud. This is a raptors board, where else to have these kind of discussions. You don't like it, don't respond

Personal attack. Warned.

What the hell? That's the second time the refs have called 3 seconds on the Raptors when Houston has had the ball in the paint.

Guys, we have the best bench in the league. Powell, TD, ibaka, Rhj , mccaw
