I can't believe Precious didn't get any better in 3 years. So many tools and just bluh

Hope they figure it out, because they weren't getting it done here.

I wish them well, probably 2 of the most overrated bench players we’ve ever had.

Precious is the kind of player, where the tools are there, it's all upstairs. If you told me in 2 years, he ended up a decent rotation player on NY, I wouldn't be surprised.

Flynn will be out of the league in 2 years. Just not good enough. He was a super late first pick - expectations should have been lower, we were just coming off a stretch where all our picks were overachieving.

Flynn will be out of the league after this season.

Precious will bounce around for a bit longer but could be out of the league in 2-3 years if he doesn’t improve.

They were probably throw-ins on every trade scenario since their Women's Day answer.

In the end, they played their part. NBA is a business.

Hope they’ve been learning Mandarin

They were basketball players for sure.

We can finally find out if Flynn will succeed elsewhere.

Raptors bbiq is much higher now.

We'll always have that run that Precious had in the second half of the 2021-2022 season where it looked he could develop into a core piece for the team. No idea what happened with him and why his development stalled. I've never seen a player with such a great sense of positioning on the defensive end combined with such horrible awareness on the offensive end.

Still, there were moments where I really enjoyed watching him play.

I'm hurt for Precious man, I really thought we got our 5 of the future. That second half of 2022 where he was knocking down 3s and was defending 1-5....

He never took a step, and never got better at decision making. He still has time imo to turn it around and become a bench piece elsewhere

Malachi however will probably be headed to Basketball Africa League as a favor to MU after he's waived in like a month

I appreciate the Previous and Red Vanvleet monikers, made for some laughs, hope they find there footing, they're still young and theyre both looking more confident as players than when they got here.

Precious was a guy I still like and think he will figure it out eventually. Sucks it wasn’t here but it is what it is.

flynn will always have that first preseason lol.

precious had those games against embiid, i guess

but i wsih them luck and success in ny. thibs is a hard coach to play for and that market is way harder to play in compared to toronto but at least they're joining a playoff team

I appreciate Precious and Malachi even more now that they are no longer on the team.
