We are an elite team in the East at this point.

Took the words out of my mouth. At this point after watching the last 18 years of Raptors basketball, nothing ever surprises me about this franchise. Will not be surprised if this team finishes 9th and puts an another dagger in the hearts of everyone.

Everyone is playing for 2nd last, the Sixers are just at a different level. They have an entire bench of unskilled 2nd round or undrafted players that's like the tank US seals flying in on parachutes, plus this is only getting started, Turner, Young and Hawes are going to either get shut down or traded the 2nd half of the year.
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Masai's stealth tank took a big hit, First Tank Commander Rudy Gay was traded and on top of that, the non-existent bench is now... existent?

It was easy for Masai to make his Rudy move when they were losing. But now he has to wait until they struggle for the next move. Meanwhile the wins add up.

jazz, bucks, and philly are just too bad...kings will keep losing too cus west so good...magic when they trade affalo and nelson will be just as horrible...and few bads teams might even get worse and join the tank

its a great top 6-7 draft...but teams are just so bad, we're not even close....the team literally needs to be down to this for any chance at wiggins, parker, exum, smart or randle

bikes stone
ross
fields novak
patterson tyler
jonas

imo smart and randle isn't worth losing demar and amir for nothing...and wiggins is looking like a young rudy gay

ive never been opposed to getting one of the top guys this year but really this just isn't the year

Why? I have no idea how winning a couple meaningless games would impact a Lowry trade.

Now until January 7th is the hardest part of our schedule... if we trade Lowry we're still going to do bad. But may as well be safe and trade Amir and/or Demar too, if it's indeed our plan to tank.

I'd prefer to be rational for the time being.

Everyone relax. The 76ers and the current Bulls are probably the few worst teams in the league. Unfortunately the other worst teams, the Bucks, Knicks and the Nets are also in the East...Raps fans can nvr have nice thimgs

if we were tanking would masai bring in 3 guys that will help us? he shoulda waived or bought all em out

then trade lowry, buy out his return

trade demar and amir, buy out their return

so we left with legit crap

Return to Toronto Raptors
