Updated Roster + Buyout Options for the Raptors

Post #61 » by **Mr Swagtastic** » Fri Feb 8, 2019 12:59 am

Really hope we get one of Atlanta's guys like Carter, Lin or Dedmon.

Wayne Ellington is almost a perfect fit here as a backup. I don't think Morris is coming back for a while so adding him might prove to be a bad idea

Yes. Couldn't even crack a spot on the awful Blazers bench.

And Avery if possible. Markieff is hurt though. I don't know how he's going to fill out his roster though. Maybe Masai is hiding someone in Africa.

Yah just heard about Kieff. So scratch that, we have enough injury concerns. I do think Avery could be a good piece, despite a downswing in his career so far. At least he shouldn't be a negative.

He's a shooter that can't shoot. He's garbage. If he wasn't Canadian we wouldn't even be talking about him.

Markieff would be great here. Whats his injury? How long is he out for?

They just lost Oladipo - much better opportunity for Matthews there.

Ellington and Morris would be two good veteran pickups

Morris (backup 4)

Boucher and Malcolm Miller (project guys)

Agree, morris and ellington would be perfect pickups

i like dedmon as a backup 4. i think he has the mobility to play the spot and can shoot the 3.

Gasol/Ibaka
Siakam
Kawhi/OG
Green/Powell
Lowry/FVV/McCaw

10 players guaranteed. Boucher and Loyd on 2 way contracts.
We need to sign 4 roster spots in 2 weeks.

at the moment these are players confirmed and available:

Our PG Options are:
Miles Teodosic
Shabazz Napier (rumoured)

SG:
Wayne Ellington
Shelvin Mack
Ben Mclemore
Wesley Matthews (to Indy reportedly)
Nik Stauskas

SF:
Carmelo Anthony
Michael Beasley

PF:
Edit: Markieff Morris

C:
Enes Kanter
Robin Lopez
Marcin Gortat

Possible:
D. Jordan
Atlanta players? (Lin, Prince, Dedmon and Bazemore possibly?)
Avery Bradley

Who do you have signing to bolster and improve our roster?

I trust Masai with whoever he brings in, even if he brought in Melo.

But ffs please, I want no part of Ben effin McLemore.

He should be back after the all-star break.

This vid here explains his injury in detail

Gone playoff time most of these buyout guys won’t even play.

Lowry Green kawhi Siakam and the Ibaka/Gasol are going to account for 90% of our minutes come playoffs. FVV will get most/all backup 1/2 mins, OG will get all the backup 3/4 minutes. There really isn’t any playing time here

OG has been garbage all year, cant shoot and fvv is inconsistent. Where is our shooting gonna come from? What's the point of havong Marc gasol if you don't surround him with cutters and shooters?

Freddie is shooting 37% from deep. You lose all credibility. OG is a key part of our small ball switch lineup with Kawhi an Siakam.

Gasol will be surrounded by Lowry Kawhi and Danny Green: that’s a real solid 3 guys along with a good cutter and corner shooter in siakam.

Don’t get all bent over shape we don’t get a new 11th man who doesn’t mean ****.

I really hope Masai can get some decent players here.

If none of the Hawks get bought out it'll be super competitive on the other guys.
