This is the question. Nobody via FA - too many other desirable situations, let alone their own teams. Has to be someone via trade. Not seeing many disgruntled superstars wanting to leave. And especially wanting to leave for TO. Don't think anyone wants to tank like Philly. Not sure of the right path here. Maybe add solid, quality, vets, who have some pride, have won before, and can be anchors come playoff time. Like West, Pierce, Chandler... not saying them, but players like them. And then try to steal a trade here and there, and draft really well.

It didn't help that Casey benched him like 10 minutes in real time.

Dwane Casey will never get another NBA head coaching job after this abortion.

are you okay in the head? lowry is not a robot who is programmed to do what casey says..he is a free man given free will and he chose to take contested shots.. casey is not the problem..get the **** players out of this city..thats the issue..casey should be resigned and run that trapping defence with good defenders.

So your not telling me that Lowry isn't a good defender, or James Johnson oh wait... Our **** idiot coach doesn't play the good defenders he keeps letting people run around like they are dogs in a **** dog park. How many times did you see Washington run an iso almost never it was always a screen brush screen or backdoor that's why wall has had 32 assists in two games. Yes obviously John is sick and draws lots of attention but they have sets, they run a play or a quick hitter every possession we dribble the **** ball till 9 seconds in the shot clock.. Are you OK in the eyes did you not watch the raptors play like YMCA ballers

lowry is not a good defender and neither is james johnson because lowry doesn't have the physical gifts and james johnson doesn't have the brain.. vasquez is too slow to go through picks..lou is too weak to go through picks..val cannot jump high enough to grab rebounds or quick enough to defend the pick and roll..amir johnson doesn't have the muscle to stop gortat..handsbrough doesnt have the soft hands to grab the rebounds.. ross is too dumb to do anything.

Yes i watched every game and the problem doesn't START with the coaching, it starts with some godawful defenders who happened to fluke out a good defensive season last year just like lowry fluked out his 3 month stretch this year.

This team isn't going anywhere and it is not because of casey, it is because our guys are physically incapable of playing great defence and the offence is failing because our picks arent set strong enough and our players are too weak willed and dont trust their passing ability to move the ball around.

You're right, but Lowry is on the decline and that back injury didn't really help him, he can't be a first option in a playoff contender(2nd rd/ECF team).

Casey is an idiot. He will do or say anything to save face.

As much as i think Lowry should and will be traded. Lowry's trade value right now is almost worthless. Tbh if there isnt a good offer on the market i can see Masai keeping Lowry at the start of next season until he raises his trade value.

I honestly believe the 2008 imploding raptors that lost to orlando would have beat this current team too.

Just an annoying Wiz fan on the GB. I wasn't sure if someone from here made it

I think that Lowry was playing frustrated, injured, and stupid, and that next year he could be normal and productive again. Probably not all-star level but definitely smarter.

even Jack was like "I am not sitting him tonight when he is hot like that"

Coach decided otherwise and never got his rhythm back.

We lost because the guys don't have the same kinda experience that Pierce has. He thought Lowry played his heart out but just missed his shots.

Always blame it on the roster... not enough veterans for ol Casey

This is like the Rudy Gay team all over again

Casey: "Give me 12 Salmons and I'll give you a championship"

He's the coach version of BC. Fitting, since he hired him.

The Wizards offense isn't something to laud over lol. They ran some decent sets, but Wall had many instances where he was over dribbling at the top tonight losing his handle or forcing passes that weren't there.

It's sad...because I actually thought they'd win this game. I figured they'd split the Washington games and get some false hope that there was still a chance. Well, it looks like I was wrong.

The Raptors were in the bonus with over 9 minutes to go in a close game. How you mess that up I don't know.

We're going to have to put all our guys on table, and try to secure a top pick. I'm not sure how else you'd go about it - I know there's guys like Middleton, Gallinari, or Batum who could have career years in a more prominent role, which they'd likely have here, but I'm not sure how realistic it is to believe that.
