In December alone, the Toronto Raptors are 3-8, 26th in threes per game and tied for 26th in three-point percentage.
Being this underwhelming can't be helping to substantiate what's been, frankly, an outrageous asking price for OG Anunoby. It's also probably not convincing anyone to take on the last few months of Pascal Siakam's contract knowing you'd have to sign him to another big deal this summer.
As much as just about any team stuck in the morass of the league's middle, the Raptors need a teardown and rebuild. Whatever roster emerges, it should be filled with shooting with which to surround Scottie Barnes.
It's just harder to accept that reality when you don't have players who'll return a bunch of rebuild-ready assets. The longer Toronto plays like this, the less likely it is to turn Anunoby and/or Siakam into those kinds of assets.

If the offers still aren’t what Masai and Bobby want, clearly no one is afraid to play chicken with this FO anymore.
Luckily Indiana and NYK are close to .500 with no big win to stop Boston’s stars.
Atlanta is as disappointing as Toronto.
Dallas and NO are approaching mid-territory.
GSW are imploding.
The Lakers are sliding.
Memphis is trying to salvage a season.
OKC and Houston might push their chips in.
It’s past time Masai and Bobby.
