I would switch GTJ for RJ

I don’t think the organization see GTJ in their LT plan. Especially with RJ’s addition and drafting Gradey Dick (although right now he is not in the rotation)

For tonight's game vs the Cavs:

PG - Dennis
SG - GTJ
SF - Barnes
PF - Siakam
C - Yak

BENCH: IQ, RJ, Boucher, OPJ, Thad, Dick, McDaniels

For Wednesday's game vs Memphis, IQ and RJ should replace Dennis and GTJ in the starting lineup who then become the first 2 players off the bench.

If you know ball and want the team to win, this is the best and most balanced line up

Dennis GTJ RJ and Boucher off the bench is good

What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Matt just said both Quickley and RJ will be in the starting lineup. I guess we'll see. If so, I'm pleasantly surprised. Let's give us a chance to see this new look team right away.

I think it might be an educated guess until it's really close to game time when they have to submit the SL. Hopefully it's wrong.

Raptors gonna string some wins, but teams might not overpay with Siakam testing the FA. I'm starting to accept Siakam being extended, not ideal but I can live with it if both RJ and Siakam ramp up their effort and focus on the defense end so Barnes wouldn't have to guard Ja Morant or Donovan Mitchell.

IQ/Schroder
RJ/Trent
Barnes/Porter Jr
Siakam/Boucher
Poeltl/Porter

RJ might be in the starting lineup but so far Darko doesn't have him in the closing lineup. And that's the right choice.

Agreed, I like Dennis in there to close, Dennis deferred to IQ in the 4Q. Dennis is a good safety valve and ft shooter

Given Gary's struggles being on the ball so much off the bench, I would like to see what he looks like in the starting line up instead of RJ.

RJ can feast on the other teams bench and Gary can let the other starters get him open buckets.

Doing this will tell us a lot about whether we want to sign him to a long term value contract or part ways this summer.

Thoughts?

Gsry is who he is af this point what he does as a starter doesn't change anything. If you can get a more consistent shooter in the ogfseason gary is expendable.
