I feel like this is the best possible team Masai can put together with the Lowry/Derozan/Ibaka core


Bebe also gives us some height when needed down low. Really just need to trade Carroll and JV and hope to bring a solid 3 or 4

Ya this is a BIG miss for Masai. You cant replace what he brings easily and certainly not with Patterson or Carroll


Sure you can. He provided zero offence and good (but not world-beating) defence. We'll manage just fine without him.

Why? He averaged 8 points on 39 percent shooting last season.

He had 6 shot attempts and 4 shots was from 3 in which he averaged 37% which is better than pj tucker

His ts was 54% which is fine for bench guard

Hopefully, Anunoby is back sooner. Otherwise, we definitely need to sign a wing. Raps might need Bruno to step up.

We really don't need him because he doesn't provide us anything above average production wise. Might as well have our young guys out there for the 10-15 minutes of playing time he would get.

I have no problem with that. Playing young guys. If we need a replacement as a older replacement if that's the direction we go. Vince makes sense.

Young guys getting minds is number 1

Except Biz got ************ paid. Pj's contract is fairly reasonable.

Thabo Sefolosha could be a replacement of sorts for Tucker. He's got good defensive metrics.
