there is no direction. Just slowly and progressively getting worse.

Should be several pages of the same criticisms of Bobby and Masai coming up here.

I have a unique and interesting take on this topic. Just give me some time to formulate it, it's definitely coming...!

What I have difficulty wrapping my head around is that I know for a fact that Masai and Bobby aren't stupid or foolish. They've made some poor guesses here, and there no question.

What I'm really struggling with is how badly they projected this season and the last one to be in terms of likely win totals. You don't trade for Jacob unless you believe you're a low seed.

They're so far off that it makes me think they've been completely out-to-lunch on these players for a long time.

F

This deadline is obviously their last chance to redeem themselves & extensions for each guy will not change my grade for them. All it does is make Masai look even more foolish as he continues to contradict himself that we supposedly wouldn’t be stuck in No Mans Land (which is EXACTLY where we are) while we fight for “Play In for What” each year.

Quite frankly I wish they would fire them already so we could allow a GM/President who wasn’t so emotionally attached to these players make the NECESSARY changes. I do not trust Masai anymore to put his personal emotions aside and do what’s right for the franchise but obviously desperately hoping to be wrong and see some big trades of both Pascal (but him at minimum) and OG happen asap.

I'm not ready to give up on them. The grass isn't always greener.

Let's see what they do with Pascal and OG. I'm of the belief that they've already lost the majority of there trade value by waiting this long. If they bomb this, then maybe another front office might be better to oversee the rebuild.

No need to bring up everything else. They've completely bombed with every decision they've made the last 4 years or so except for Scottie.

Regardless, there's no quick fix. This is going to take years to be able to bring in quality players and to develop them. I still don't think people are talking about this enough. If we're giving Masai another chance. The chance needs to be for 3 plus years.

i put dislike it because there is still time to make moves before the end of the season. if the poll meant for the calendar year of 2023 i would downgrade it to hate it.

at least they have siakam and OG as great S&T chips next off season if they let it get that far. they can target players that fit better around barnes, who has made a clear leap this year. that said, masai and bobby's 2023 doesn't give much hope of that happening...

Lifelong trust for Masai and Bobby who brought us Kawhi, got us a ring, got us Scottie Barnes who is a top 3 young player for F sakes and did so with our only top 5 pick. If you have been a Raps fan long enough (Jalen Rose era, Bargs era) you understand what has happened and you accept this. But beyond that I trust them. They've hit home runs here.

I can dislike what they are doing but still not want to give up on them.

I often wonder what the conversations are between GM and coach.

Does the GM every say to the coach, "Talk to me about your usage of Dennis Schröder." "What are your thoughts on moving specific starter(s) to the bench?"

Hate it. Moves should already been made a while ago. Now, potential returns will be less than optimal.

Other than Scottie, they've whiffed hard the last few years. That's why I don't get why people fixate on this year's pick. I don't have much confidence that we'd actually get a good player at this point. This isn't the same scouting staff.

They don’t even talk to the press anymore.

Idk how anyone can look at the state of this team and say they “Like it” or “Love it”

Even the most optimistic people should say they “Dislike it” while the rest of us say we “Hate it”

There’s no direction. Failure to get anything out of assets. Mortgaged the future and handicapped us going forward just for Poeltl. Horrible draft misses.
Spent months on a coaching search and interviewed everyone and their mother just to end up with a clueless guy who has zero positive qualities as a head coach

Literally nothing positive in almost 3 years. FO has been pathetic. Our main man is more concerned with his African side quests. Truly pathetic
