Not counting international free agents, our best FA signing ever was either Dennis Schroder or Bismack Biyombo.

What about Hedo :lol:

I’d love to bring back Masai, but this exact inactivity happens every year on this board. We almost never get 1st day news as Raptors fans
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

That’s why the Raptors front office typically tries to do things a bit differently like trading for Ingram’s rights or operating near the tax with a bunch of contracts they can trade or flip for players they want.

They’re not stupid and a lot smarter than people on this board

Bassey was who I was hoping to get for the minimum before FA started, and he's still on the board.

I would also be happy with Thomas Bryant or Oscar Tshiebwe. Mo Wagner would be great, but I think he's either priced out of our range, or just staying in Orlando.

He probably wouldn’t sign here. There’s a reason why drafting and trades are a huge premium here lol. If whoever we get as president isn’t elite at these, we’re done as a franchise

Newsflash - Toronto isn't a free agent destination (unless it's a re-sign)

Even when the Raptors are a top playoff team or a contender they will struggle with attracting these role player free agents.

Yeah the East is getting stronger to the point where a couple of teams may have put themselves above the Raptors with free agency
