The Lakers have their full complement of players and we have two starters in RJ/Quick and KO/Brown/Gradey are fringe starter/reserves. No sht it's gonna be ugly.
Do y'all even know what you're watching when you complain about stuff?
Obviously the team's talent level needs to improve, but that's what the off-season is for. This isn't the team we're fielding next season.

Yep. He's actually a pretty good player when engaged but my reason for wanting him gone is because he doesn't want to be on the team. He pretty much said so. Can't keep guys like that around for too long.

Just one poster thinks we shouldn’t be losing by 30 when we are playing 10 days

Nice to see no wrap on Scottie’s hand
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

The only one that looked interesting enough to develop as a 13-15th guy was Porter. The rest of them are pretty bad, but they needed to try. I have no issues with the attempt to find an overlooked guy and in fact hope they keep trying.

Yep. Mo G is the one guy that could stick and they need to do a better job of prioritizing prospects with functional size/athleticism to make it in the league if the skill isn't overwhelmingly there.

We won’t get much for him. We’d be better off declining his option and using that money on a Free Agent.

The whining…hilarious.
I hope people’s self-awareness is better than their Raptor-awareness.
Good to see RJ and IQ back. Raptors have a foundation but lots more building to do.

Well we are supposed to get a 1-2 half proven young prospects by trading Pascal.

Teams aren't stupid, Brown definitely has value. They know he's a good player when surrounded by great players. He's trash when surrounded by trash.

Lol @ whining when we are an embarrassment at the moment. Hopefully you have better standards in your life than you do with the Raptors lol.

The reference to yourself as a raptor might explain the cognitive disconnect. “We” are not Raptors.
A team getting blown out end of year 3 months into a rebuild with all the injuries/absences is not an embarrassment, it is a reality to be expected time to time.
Detroit and Charlotte (Washington likely to be added in another season or two)…those are embarrassments. If the Raptors are like this in 2 seasons, I’ll be whining too.
