Coming off a torn ACL. Give him 2 year minimum with player option year 2.


If he's taking the minimum he's going back to Orlando to play with his brother.


If Orlando is offering it, yes, you’re right. Plus sunshine and no state income tax.

a 1st and 2 bad contracts for collins and kessler doesn't seem like enough

Ainge is addicted to picks. He’s so hooked now, you can cut them with anything you want and he’s still buying.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Pascal wanted the supermax we are lucky to not have signed Pascal because he wasn’t wanting an extension he wanted at minimum the max. It was right to trade him but evaluation took to long, should have traded him a year earlier.

Have we now come full circle to how we should have kept Siakam? Revisionist history is funny. Want to go back a couple of seasons and see what people were saying about Siakam and what the Raptors should do?

Grange himself was saying they should probably trade Siakam

That team will get very expensive very soon... We should be trying to get players they can't keep as they are one of the best drafting teams in the league.

There was a split on the issue on here at the time. Obviously it is easier to argue on side or the other now. But to be clear, this is an extend to trade later question rather than trade and keep questions which very few were arguing for, including apparently Bobby. But Pascal’s value would not be where it is now on the Raptors regardless so I still think the question is kind of a toss up which approach was better.

What they’re saying is when they called players before free agency officially started, they realized they weren’t getting anyone else, so they turned to LaRavia.

But I think this signing will work out well for them lol
