Updated Roster + Buyout Options for the Raptors

[Gold Dragon]

Cervical neuropraxia. Nerve injuries are notoriously unpredictable in their recovery timeline. Would stay away unless he is fully recovered.

Call me crazy but I want Beasley

[Boogie!]

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 ****.

Again it's so weird how many people come to FVV's defense for years Ross and patterson shot 37% or bettee r for us and every year people said they were inconsistent. Yet fvv has literally been the definition of inconsistent this year, j us t last game he had 3 points in 25 minutes and suddenly the argument is Hes a 37% shooter.

The arguments for Ross and Patterson were also foolish. ALL shooters have good and bad games it’s literally the nature of the job. You were the first person to bash Ross and Patterson so you don’t have an argument there.

FVV is fine. He’s not a star, but as a bench guy he is beyond capable. He’s the kind of guy we would lick our chops over and criticize Masai for not signing if he wasn’t a raptor.

Tell me a Lowry/FVV/Green/Kawhi/Gasol lineup doesn’t have enough shooting for Gasol?

[simple_jack]

Call me crazy but I want Beasley

You're crazy

[PhilBlackson]

Just please add some shooting...

[Chevy Chase]

Call me crazy but I want Beasley

Both of you are crazy. I gave this a few seconds thought, as he is a magnificent score; but,

He is such a locker room cancer. He was/is in the perfect situation in LA and he can't even get that right. And with Pot being legal in Canada, forget about it.

I even thought about the other lunatic but Melo won't respect Nurse so its probably another bad idea.

I don't think he stopped smoking pot when it was illegal. It literally doesn't make a difference for him that pot is legal in Canada.

[RaptorsCity12]

Wayne Ellington please

different era, different thiings to complain about. and people do complain about FVV and his inconsistency.

[HangTime]

Maybe Nik Stauskis needs to come home, and play for his Raptors.

[YelloC]

It’s actually a little exciting that we have so many open roster spots.
It’s like another free agency period mid-season where we have to sign at least 2-3 guys.

[Kingsway_fan]

In Masai we trust... for the first time infranchise history we have a top tier gm....

[JamesTheRoofer]

Correct me if I'm wrong.
But did Kanter not have to get special permission/clearance from Trudeau to play here against us due to some passport related issues?
If so is that not going to be a problem? Can the Raps get that cleared up if they go after him?
Just a thought.

[simple_jack]

I think Stauskas is a no brainer... but he shouldn’t be the top buyout player we acquire

Shooter - Could mean Mclemore, Ellington, Matthews (since its not official yet),
for a 4 - Markieff Morris is the only player that makes sense.

It looks like Boucher is almost a lock to become an official part of the team

[peteyjones13]

Raptor's roster construction (guaranteed) as it stands:

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:
Milos Teodosic
Shabazz Napier (rumoured)
Shelvin Mack
Wade Baldwin IV

SG:
Wayne Ellington
Ben Mclemore
Wesley Matthews (to Indy reportedly)
Nik Stauskas
Malachi Richardson

SF:
Carmelo Anthony
Michael Beasley

PF:
Edit: Markieff Morris

C:
Enes Kanter
Robin Lopez
Marcin Gortat
Zach Randolph
Greg Monroe

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 think they should go for Malachi Richardson

[blaateeee]

Omri Caspi is another decent option... solid defender, good range, great teammate apparently as well..

And a torn meniscus to boot.
