Your 2024 Toronto Raptors:

This team is gonna suck, for a while. Get used to it.
We're 2 years away from being 2 years away.

Brudda, that was nothing.
Now the real fun (and suffering) starts.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think a Barnes (22) Barrett(23) Quickley (24) core is a pretty good foundation

I don't mind it, as long as theres a purpose. Its not like pain isn't something we're not used to as Raps fans. Post-VC era says hi.

At least we're watching a team grow this time around.

Watching a team constructed to win this past year and a half, only to fail horribly was painful enough.

Can't be worse than the no-man's land we've been in for the last 2 years.

TWO is going to get their wish. They will hate it, guaranteed.

The majority of our existence as a franchise prior to Masai was much worse than the last 2 years. Raptors fans have been spoiled for the last decade.

Pain has been here for a while.

Imo the worst part is over.

not too late to dump schroeder, GTJr, Poetl, Boucher for as many picks as possible.

Being a Raptors fan is so hard. We’ve seen most our best players in history leave in their prime and for little to no return to boot:

Damon
VC
Tmac
Bosh
Kawhi
FVV
Pascal

Only exception is Lowry.

Won't be able to give away tickets to watch this team for several years... Masai has been brutal. Babcock 2.0

At least the only exception from your list got us Kawhi :lol:

There's still time for Masai & Bobby to pull a rabbit with the 3 late first rounders.

We're 1 of 12 teams to win a championship since we entered the league and one of the most winning franchises in the NBA over the last decade. Context is important.

The pain was already here, some of you just chose to medicate.
