PG: Tank Continues - 17 games left

[Gang of Four]

Jack Armstrong's story about his meeting with Sarah McLachlan was unreal, I couldn't believe it. Even while watching the Raptors' struggle, I couldn't hold myself back from laughing so hard.

[Raps in 4]

I honestly don't think the Bulls have it in them to win another game this season. We need Washington to stay on course and continue their playoff push.

Magic robbed them. just a bad trade. Wendall Carter is playing better than Bamba. I'd say he would be the best Big on our team too and young.


And 2 top 10 picks, plus 20 million in cap space.

Hmm.. maybe Masai/Nurse knows that top 9 seeds are to far to get now. The goal is the 10th spot. Not hard at the moment seeing how bulls are playing like ****. Rest our regular starters as much they can. I'll laugh the last 5 games they roll out with a full squad healthy for the playoffs lol.

I still don't get why they made that Vucevic trade, I guess they're tired of missing the playoffs but damn it's sad that their big blockbuster trade was made just to get a playoff spot. That trade makes way more sense for a perennial playoff team that wants to get over the hump. They need to do a better job of scouting/developing and asset management if they're tired of missing the playoffs, taking shortcuts is just going to dig them into a deeper hole. They really need to bring in an exec that knows how to build a winner.

Right now, Cade is a pipe dream. BUT, if in a miraculous event that we land Cade, you obviously pick him (BPA) and figure out the rest later. Plus, that's FO's job, not ours to worry about.

What is there to figure out

FVV
Cade
OG
Pascal

FVV gets to play off the ball more and we put the ball in Cades & Pascal hands. OG still takes the toughest wing matchup

If we draft Cade, we don't even need FVV anymore. Why should we waste 100+ mill of our cap on FVV/GTJ/OG/Siakam? That's a core of 4 role players so someone is definitely getting moved but probably not till 2022. With Cade and the addition of GTJ, FVV is redundant and the bigger liability due to his size.

Cade/GTJ/OG/Siakam

That's the far superior lineup imo

Role players? Why not just recycle the "flawed core" mantra?

This from Grange.

"Is it time for the Raptors to commit to the tank?

Not only have the Raptors been on a season-long search for help in the middle, once again Toronto sat down a range of their regulars for a range of reasons of varying plausibility against Orlando.

Out were typical starters Kyle Lowry – officially for rest, but head coach Nick Nurse suggested it could also because of his toe infection; OG Anunoby (knee swelling, though he was listed as being out for "rest" on Thursday; Pascal Siakam (rest) and Gary Trent Jr. (ankle).

Whether the Raptors are trying to improve their lottery odds or hoping to make a playoff run, it’s clear the last month of the season will be an extended job fair."

In real time Michael.

I just don’t see us being bad enough to not make the play in game. I also don’t see us losing in the scenario that we make the play in game.

Nightmare season

F*** the tank, we're the 10th seed, we going to the playoffs.

Maybe Harden re-aggrevates his hammy later and maybe Embiid hurts his back again... AD comes back to soon, Murray is already out, Mitchell had an ankle sprain.

Things could line up like Beverley, Conley, Jrue and Kyrie all being gimpy or out for the Warriors run in 2015.
