This means we might be looking for center depth?

Dylan Disu come on down.

Bring in Battle 2.0

Shooters!

We want shooters!

Weird timing unless they already have another guy lined up. Maybe something happened behind the scenes?

Funny you say that. I was thinking he deserved a shot. We could use a stretch big. With Scottie injured, he could take some of those minutes. He looked good in the games I watched.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the move they made. If not, I hope they use the slot for another big. We have far too many smallish guards.

Or he asked out since he's not playing

They did say foot and ankle issues.
If he's injured and not playing, no sense to keep him on. Try someone else out.

Could be today honestly. Maybe we waive Fernando, convert Battle, and then use our two-way spots to grab some center projects. Epecially now that Olynyk is back

I wonder if doing this now is an indication that Scottie isn’t coming back any time soon.

Masai needs to ease up on the undersized guards who can't shoot.

Maybe will convert Battle from exhibit 10 to two way contract?

That’s coming after the trade deadline.

I’d be shocked if it doesn’t happen.

Unsurprising, hopefully he finds a place in the league.

Hmm? Battle is already on a 2-way. That's why he comes in and out of the Raptors line up and also plays for the 905. They cut Carlson for Battle.

My bad, I thought Battle was still on an exhibit 10 deal.
