We were the favourites by far in that series and cavs were huge underdog against warriors

ORL about to offer him 12 million a year shambles incoming



On a 4 year contract if the Raps match, that would equal to: $8.8 first year, $9 second year, and 15.1 in years 3 and 4 (which they would have cap room for then). The question is even at $8.8 (equivalent to MLE) in first year would get them into the tax so what are they going to do to get under.


I think they are already in the luxury tax without accounting for a VanVleet contract, I could be wrong though.

Thats at least 3 years extra he buys himself.


Yall cry when he doesn't say something and cry when he does :rofl:


I really don't care what he says, at the end of the day the roster isn't going anywhere and the team needs a complete rebuild very soon. I would pick Hinkie for a rebuild over Masai.


What do you not understand about our 3 year window we had to compete? When he signed lowry and ibaka for those short term contracts it was clear we were going to try and compete for those 3 years and if it doesn't work out after that its time to rebuild. This was the plan all along and it was pretty clear. Hes not buying himself extra time that's just the way teams are built, you cant go from a 59 win team to a bottom feeder in a single year, it just doesn't work like that which i don't know how is news to you.

Oh yeah Hinkie did a great job drafting Okafor, Noel and MCW with top 5 draft picks. Imagine what the Sixers would look like if he drafted better.

Embiid is also made of glass.

What a rebuild.

There's also the thought that he re-signed them given that they couldn't do much else in terms of cap space available, and they didn't want to lose those assets for nothing.

They haven't come even close to competing though. No sense in wasting another 2 years on an obviously failed experiment.

Man im so happy right now. Just hearing Nick talk about being innovative and creative is getting me excited. It's exactly the reason why I wanted him to be the coach. When he said he's always trying to stay ahead of the new trends ext WHEW

We got a good one guys but yall will find a way to hate as usual.

Statistically, we were overwhelming favourites. The Cavs beating us was the second biggest upset in NBA playoff history.

MLSE is probably second worst ownership group after OKC ownership. These guys have a stranglehold on Toronto sports.
